her ablaze and caused water to start flooding the torpedo boat. The heavier shells of Bremse meanwhile failed to find their target and the burning Stegg returned fire against Schiff 221, hitting the whaler twice with her 76 mm main gun. However, for Stegg the war was over, as the fire on board got out of control and her crew had to abandon ship. Soon the fire reached Steggs torpedoes and ammunition hold and the ship went up in a large explosion. The entire bow of the ship disappeared and Stegg sank slowly to the bottom of the fjord. The crew got away without serious injuries, despite being bombarded by the two German warships as they fled inland.
