Blücher was not fully worked up, her sea trials had not been completed. To send her into such an operation was foolhardy. Not only that but she was not fully ammunitioned, still carrying practice ammo in her ammo vaults. . Two of her aircraft were not shipped in order to make room for the equipment and ammo of the soldiers. What a shame and what stupidity.
@saredna Første helikopteret ble brukt under krigen, men at dette var det såpass lite av den tiden. Helicopters were developed and built during the first half-century of flight, with the Focke-Wulf Fw 61 being the first operational helicopter in 1936. Some helicopters reached limited production, but it was not until 1942 that a helicopter designed by Igor Sikorsky reached full-scale production - wikipedia
Hakekorset ble malt på tyske skip forut og akter for at tyske fly skulle kunne skille de tyske skip fra andre nasjoners skip. Og dermer unngå å bli angrepet av sine egne .
I apologize for a response to such an old post, but i feel the need to respond by saying Yes, Helicopters did exist in 1940. There were many "helicopters" which were invented and operated between the wars, though none of which saw offensive action.

@totalwarfreak1 'Hipper' class heavy cruiser 20.3 cm. gun ammunition -
armor piercing round - 122 kg. / 269 lbs.
high explosive round - 122 kg. / 269 lbs.
It would be possible for 4 men to move such a weight - with a little grunting and rough language.
