Another list of German warships, this one comprises all of the heavy cruisers built or designed by Germany in the 1920s through 1940s. The list has already passed a MILHIST A-class review (see here), and is the capstone to this project, which will be ready to head over to WP:GT once this article makes FL. I feel this list is very close to FL quality, and I look forward to working with reviewers in ensuring it meets the criteria. Thanks in advance to all who take the time to review the list.

Quick comments –
- Alt text for the images would be nice.
For the ships with 10,000 t displacement, the lead shows them as having 9,800 long tons of displacement, but the body shows 10,000 in multiple places.The text says Lutzow was scrapped in the 1950s, but the table says 1960.Ref 10 should give the page range as pp., not p.Giants2008 (Talk) 02:54, 26 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]- I don't really like messing with alt text, since, as far as I'm aware, they still haven't figured out what exactly is useful for alt text.
- The tonnage discrepancy was a convert template error, should have been 10,000 long tons, not metric tons.
- A result of a disagreement over the eventual fate of the ship - one source says 1958-59, another says 1960. Updated to reflect this.
- Fixed. Parsecboy (talk) 12:53, 7 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

- Image review: All used images appear to be free and are properly tagged as such. By the way, the lead image could use some cropping. Goodraise 23:34, 18 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Support - Overall looks good, just one comment:
D class, "In 1933, Hitler authorized...". Although I have a hard time believing anyone might not know who Hitler was, I would suggest giving his full name, position and linking to his article on the first occurrence of his name.
- This comment does not effect my support, as it is quite minor. Prose, sourcing and images all look solid. Dana boomer (talk) 17:24, 19 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- That's a fair point - added first name, link, and position. Parsecboy (talk) 23:41, 22 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

- In fact, going a little bit deeper on this last point, the German cruiser Deutschland article suggests there is some disagreement about the final fate of the Lützow; but only one fate is listed in this list as "fact".
- Prager is based on the declassified Soviet archives, the others are works from the 60s-80s, and thus less reliable.
- It just seems inconsistent that on the ship's article it states that "The ultimate fate of Lützow is unclear" but in this article no allusion is made at all to the uncertainty. Harrias talk 12:44, 4 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Prager is based on the declassified Soviet archives, the others are works from the 60s-80s, and thus less reliable.
- Support - It all looks quite solid to me, and I'm not seeing any issues- Harrias's above point looks to be settled in the article. --PresN 19:39, 9 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
