Ground Battleship - Flying Battleship |
| | | Kriegsschiff // Bomber | Explanation:
also: Schlachtschiff // Fliegendes Schlachtschiff
Ann.:
In WWII submarines were commonly referred to as U-Boats; ground battleships are not operating under water; flying battleships are mainly bombers with machine guns; machine cannons as secondary defensive weapons (tiny turret);
'ground' is redundant; hence it might also be used (figuratively) for any heavily-armed and armored vehicle operating on land ('Kampffahrzeug')

| Kriegsmarine U-Boot - Fliegendes Schlachtschiff
Explanation:
I think that a battleship on the ground (of the sea) is a submarine - therefore the term U-Boot.
