Immediately upon entering service into the German WW2 navy Blücher was assigned to the task force that supported the invasion of Norway in April 1940. Blücher served as the flagship of Rear Admiral Oskar Kummetz. The ship led the flotilla of warships into the Oslofjord on the night of 8 April, to seize Oslo. Two old coastal guns at the Oscarsborg Fortress engaged the ship at very close range, scoring two hits, as did several smaller guns in other batteries. Two torpedoes fired by land-based torpedo batteries struck the ship, causing serious damage. A major fire broke out aboard Blücher, which could not be contained. The fire spread to one of her anti-aircraft gun magazines, causing a large explosion, and then spread further to the ship's fuel bunkers. Blücher then capsized and sank with major loss of life. The wreck lies at the bottom of Oslofjord, and in 2016 was designated as a war memorial to protect it from looters.
