Why Alaska badly overmatches a Deutschland-class cruiser

How would an Alaska-class cruiser fare against a Deutschland-class ship?

Alaska would hold a decisive advantage and would probably sink the Deutschland-class ship very quickly.

A Deutschland-class ship would probably be sunk within minutes in this matchup. The scale of the mismatch leaves little room for a finely balanced tactical problem. Alaska was a much larger and more powerful combatant despite the labels attached to both designs. Terms such as large cruiser and pocket battleship do not establish equivalent combat power.
