Dieter
Von Roeder was part of Kriegsschiffgruppe 1 under
Operation Weserübung, assigned the task of securing Narvik
and the iron ore traffic from Sweden. She patrolled
outside the harbor on 9.April, and ordered the Swedish
freighter Stråssa
to anchor up inside Narvik harbor, where she was sunk by
British naval forces later. Dieter von Roeder was sunk
under the second battle of Narvik 13.April, and was left
alone until the second world war ended. She was then
raised and dumped outside Narvik airport, and the wreck
rest today together with the wrecks of Anton Schmitt and Wilhelm Heidkamp in shallow waters.
There isn't much left of Dieter Von Roeder, and the
battered remains of her rest on a depth of approx 10 to 20
meter.
