The Destroyer That Rammed a Cruiser 10x Its Size – Enemy Captain Honored Him

Discover the incredible true story of HMS Glowworm, the British destroyer that took on the German heavy cruiser Admiral Hipper in April 1940. Lieutenant Commander Gerard Roope faced impossible odds when his tiny destroyer encountered a warship ten times her size. In an extraordinary act of courage, Roope chose to ram the massive cruiser, inflicting serious damage before his ship sank. What makes this story truly remarkable is that the German captain, Hellmuth Heye, recommended Roope for Britain's highest military honor through the Red Cross. This unprecedented act of respect between enemies resulted in the first Victoria Cross of World War Two. One hundred eleven men died in the freezing Norwegian Sea, but their sacrifice and courage would never be forgotten.
