10:30 - Heye demands Royal Navy to give Roope a medal
It’s April 8, 1940 and HMS Glowworm is in the North Sea. Commanded by Captain Gerard Broadmead Roope, it became separated from its battle group. Upon detecting an unknown ship, they realize it is a German vessel. HMS Glowworm bravely fought first one then two German destroyers who outgunned her. The German Destroyers call for help and the massive cruiser, Admiral Hipper answers appearing on the scene firing at HMS Glowworm. In this David vs Goliath battle the Glowworm is severely outgunned. Despite suffering heavy damage, Captain Roope orders a daring torpedo attack and retreats behind a smoke screen. As the intact Hipper emerges from the smoke Roope knows it's all over. Roope, with no options left to him commands a desperate last move: ramming the Admiral Hipper. An incredibly brave action that won him the respect and admiration of his enemy.

The captain of the admiral hipper was well known for rescuing survivors of ships they destroyed, and always treated prisoners of war very well. Upon his death, his funeral was attended by many members of the Royal Navy and Merchant Service, most being men who had been attacked and then saved by him. He was a very good man, and I'm glad history remembered him as such.

@KibuFox 11 месяцев назад

I have always LOVED this story. Captain Heye was so impressed by Glowworm's actions, that he ordered a tribute to the bravery of the ship and crew be emblazoned on Hipper. On the second forward turret, just adjacent to where Glowworm struck Hipper, was written in fine script "Glowworm". Crew of the Hipper held Glowworm and her crew in high regard, claiming them to be true heroes for their defiant last stand. One detail you left out though, is something that Heye himself once mentioned when talking about the Glowworm's ram. At some point in the battle, a shell had damaged the ship's collision siren. So when Glowworm came charging out for her final ram, the siren was wailing like a banshee in a single warbling tone. Also, reportedly, after she struck Hipper, as she was breaking away and just before she rolled over, Glowworm's stern gun (the crew remained at their station) fired one last defiant parting shot before going silent.

@ironmann16 11 месяцев назад

I can imagine the German Captain had more than a few restless nights in his quarters, knowing he couldn't save such a brave, and honorable soul. Clearly He had strong lasting feeling about it, if he went through the trouble of contacting the British Admiralty. After all, even in times of war, we are all people. Even if that fact is sometimes blurred by politics, duty, or patriotism.

A lot of the U-Boat crews did know and genuinely believed in the Nazi cause (it says something that the vast majority of Kriegsmarine war crimes were U-boat related). The surface fleet (with a couple exceptions) wasn't generally as bad, to the point at least one of its officers (Adm. Lutjens of Rheinbunung infamy) protested the persecution of Jews; but the surface fleet was only a small (and counterproductive) part of the Kriegsmarine.

But i didn't know about them actually fulfilling the payment rule! To give a "strange war salary payment" fact back: A few years back i discovered that germany out of all participants and former colonial powers was the only one paying a soldiers pension to indigenous troops that served them during WW1 in east africa. They stopped the payment between 1933 and 1945 for abvious reasons, but continued after the war until the last recipient had died in Tanzania if i remember correct.

I'm amazed at how far your animations have come. The voice acting could still use a bit of work, but it's still amazing nonetheless.

The admiral who decided to give him command of the hms glowworm Made a very good choice Destroyer captains can be very aggressive, and caring for there men. I would put a list of great destroyers but there is probably to many for me to tape.

The is a naval chivalry battle! Both captain Roope and captain Heye deserve respect.

@rwarren58 11 месяцев назад

I grinned at the start, liking a good scrap and I love World of Warships. You couldn’t choose a better sponsor. But the “let’s roll” attitude of the glowworm, the well choreographed battle and the sad but typical end of most ships that faced HIPPER. The human-like respect for a brave and worthy foe foe was portrayed wonderfully. Well you did it again. Just Superb.

@kyleaugustine6886 11 месяцев назад

Fun fact, this engagement is actually the first battle that someone earned the Victoria Cross in WWII. However Captain Roope's Victoria cross was also the last one awarded for action in WWII.

@@kyleaugustine6886 That's not an easter egg. Heye was so impressed with Glowworm, as were the Hipper's crew, that they painted Glowworm's name on the second forward turret in honor of the ship.

Bloody hell the animation qualities just keep improving notably the water qualities although the fire effects from cannons & plooming smoke could do with some work but bravo to your team ntm voice acting seems to be getting better as well. On a sidenote with how great your qualities are now I'd dare say a video on The Battle of Drøbak Sound April 9th 1940 would look astonishingly spectacular and slightly tie into this small battle within the invasion of norway. Damn in hindsight if this was say released April you could've capitalized on War Thunder Monthly PFP mini event as that PFP was of Lieutenant Commander Gerard Broadmead Roope which probably would've boasted the views of this video further but alas it wasn't to be.

I think that among the armed forces, the navy has a high level of chivalry when it comes to fighting. I remember the story of the Japanese admiral who also saved the British warship crews who were defeated by them. after being rescued and transported on board, the admiral addressed the British crew and said that they had fought bravely, and now they were guest passengers of the Japanese navy.

Yes. Also because you needed brains to serve in the navy, definitely in higher ranks. So they usually weren't fascists or extremists. IJN wasn't THAT bad on average compared to the Japanese army which... well... made the SS look nice

So I have to tell you. I became a member a few weeks ago after finding this channel and enjoying a few of your videos SO MUCH!. But since then I have watched.. A lot of your videos... 2 or 3 or even 4 a day.... and I realized something today. Since I started using RU-vid in 2007 or so, your channel is the ONLY channel I have "liked" every video from! Every single video, older ones newer ones are just so darn good. Your story telling ability is unparalleled in this space. Your ability to make me care almost instantly about characters from brave men and women to ships and planes is amazing! Thank you Yarnhub! When I tell my kids, grandkids, neices, nephews and godkids stories. I think mimicking your story telling formula is the way to go and when they ask me for more I'll just bring up Yarnhub for them.

@celiovicenteribeirofilho9740 4 месяца назад

I only came to know about this story 2 weeks ago, after watching some songs from Jeff Wayne's musical about The War of The Worlds and reading some people's comments about how the H.M.S Thundechild and its battle against the tripods resembled the captain's posture and crew in the battle of H.M.S. Glowworm against Admiral Hipper. It is incredible to see an enemy captain recognize the bravery of his adversary to the point of writing a letter to the British navy recommending the actions of his gallant adversary and commanded against himself. It's a shame that stories like this are so little known. Thank you for helping to make them known today.
