Action of 4 April 1941
http://dbpedia.org/resource/Action_of_4_April_1941 an entity of type: Thing
The action of 4 April 1941 was a naval engagement fought during the Battle of the Atlantic during the Second World War. A German commerce raider, Thor, (Schiff 10 to the Kriegsmarine, Raider E to the British) encountered the British armed merchant cruiser and sank it after a short engagement. The German crew rescued the British survivors, some of whom were repatriated and gave an account to the Admiralty. It was accepted that German commerce raiders were too well-armed for converted ocean liners equipped with obsolete guns but nothing else was available to the Royal Navy until later in the war.
