Illustration showing the German Battlecruiser 'Scharnhorst' listing to starboard as she sank at the end of the Battle of North Cape, approximately 7.30pm on 26th December 1943. The 'Scharnhorst' had been lured out of her Norwegian base by a passing Allied convoy and straight into a Royal Navy trap. When confronted by a superior British force, the 'Scharnhorst' had attempted to race back to the security of her base. However, two fortuitous British hits on the 'Scharnhorst' prevented her escape; one shell destroyed her radar and another salvo hit her boiler rooms. Unable to escape, she sank after being hit by at least 11 torpedoes. This illustration was painted by C.E. Turner from a personal description given to him by Commander T.A.K. Maunsell, who was an eye-witness on the bridge of HMS 'Duke of York'. Date: 1944
