  • Note: German battle cruiser Scharnhorst was sunk on 26th of December 1943 in the Atlantic. Five ships took part in the action: Belfast, Norfolk, Sheffield, Duke of York and Jamaica. This footage is probably aftermath of the action.

    Rubbish. Everything indicates that the film is taken in summertime. Most of it on a Norwegian destroyer, so the visiting Army officer is of course Norwegian, as he speaks so easily with the sailors. The latter part is filmed on board a Pirnce of Wales class battleship.

  • I agree with the previous contributor that this is a Norwegian ship - several of the men seen in the clip are wearing caps bearing the words "Kgl Norske Marine", identifying them as members of the Royal Norwegian Navy.

The great politician and orator Winston Churchill left behind a sea of humourous quips and discerning quotes. We remember some of his finest epigrams and witty ripostes.

British Pathe captured many extraordinary events on film over its 80 year history but sometimes the cameras were switched on when tragedy struck.
