The Lüdemann was the last of Captain Bey’s Fourth Flotilla to be sunk during the Second Battle of Narvik. Chased up the fjord by Royal Navy destroyers, she was discovered abandoned and on fire a mile or two beyond Soldvika. Armed boats’ crews were sent across to board her (raising the White Ensign over the Nazi flag) before searching the destroyer for documents. But, before abandoning her the German Captain had burnt all documents, as a heap of charred paper on the bridge soon revealed. Though still upright, the Lüdemann was hard aground with her engine room flooded. Salvage was beyond the capacity of the British force and, with fire threatening to explode depth charges, she was regretfully left after the Ensign had been removed, and a torpedo put into her to ensure her total destruction.
