Question

Could Admiral Scheer handle Scandinavian coastal battleships?

Short answer

Possibly not if the coastal battleships were alert and ready to fire immediately.

Notes

The proposed matchup depends on whether the Scandinavian coastal battleships are already alert and ready to fire. Scheer might be unable to defeat them under those conditions.
