Summary edit
| Description |
English: U.S. Navy mailgram press release about the "Odenwald incident", 17 November 1941. The Odenwald was a German blockade runner that was stopped and seized in the South Atlantic by the light cruiser USS Omaha (CL-4) and the destroyer USS Somers (DD-381). She was disguised as the U.S. merchantman SS Willmoto and the crew unsuccessfully tried to scuttle the ship. Omaha's boarding party stopped the flooding, got the ship underway again and sailed it to Trinidad. This became known as the "Odenwald incident", as Germany and the United States were not at war at that time. |
