I cannot make any sense of this article. If this was a Swedish ship, why was it seized as a prize of war by the French? Sweden was not at war with anyone. Why was the ship handed over to the Kriegsmarine? (It was presumably the German Kriegsmarine.)
In November 1942 the Kriegsmarine is said to "cease command" of the ship, yet next day the ship is attacked by the Kriegsmarine. Why? And did all this happen in Rotterdam?
this piece most certainly not have been referenced on the front of Wikipedia in this form.
If this wartime experience is the justification for giving prominence to tis particular ship, it needs to be explained far more clearly. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Gobannian (talk • contribs) 12:50, 27 October 2009 (UTC)Reply
