Convair Crusader. Modification of a B-36 Peacemaker.

Yup!
It is a Convair B-36 Crusader, but it's not powered by Jet Fuel. The heat in it's turbines comes from the barely controlled meltdown of a nuclear reactor.
The big radiation symbol on the tail gives it away. The problem with the setup being, the airflow in the engines is what keeps the nuclear reaction from running away, so the turbines need to run even on the ground.

Nein. Tirpitz capsized and was cut up in the final position it rolled over into.

Is it Italian?

Scharnhorst?

Whatever it is the picture is rather haunting and sad. Like a great leviathan cast up dead from the sea.
