The article says it was posthumously awarded. But there are sources that say he was celebrating this with the senior officers on 27 May. Dapi89 (talk) 21:36, 23 March 2008 (UTC)Reply

Actually it says that the rank of commander was awarded after his death, not the knight's cross. bigpad (talk) 22:22, 17 June 2009 (UTC)Reply

First mention of Gunther Lǚtjens should be preceded with his rank, so as to place him in authority of this mission (that information not given).

"Gunther Lǚtjens"

should read

"Admiral Flottenchef Gunther Lǚtjens"
