sorry for my poor English, but I found something and I hope it will be to understand?
These "heroes" are: Willi Albrecht, Karl-Heinz-Freudenthal, Günther Källander from the destroyer Paul Jacobi ", with her very unworthy deed (pure stupidity) want to prevent the destroyer go to Kurland to evacuate from there waiting to rescue their comrades in arms. That judgement in my opinion - by shooting - was the only fair in the event of war and sabotage. And the names of this "martyrs" were honored by Volksmarine.
