Prinz Eugen In May 1945

[NASAAN101]

When Prinz Eugen Surrendered to Britain in May 1945, She was then taken back to Wilhelmshaven on may 28th, to be turned over the US as a War prize. She was Escorted by light Cruiser Dido and Heavy cruiser Devonshire and Two Distroyer(HMCS Iroqoois and HMS Savage). Were Was Devonshire, was she behind Prinz Eugen or where was she? And Did Prinz Eugen have a Change to Escape in to open water or were there British Sailors on board her to mak sure she didn't make a run for it? But here is the twist here, Her Ammunition was offloaded under British orders, so she did't have her 8" shells. My question here is could she have gotten away or would she have been sank right off the bat or blow out of the water? and Explan why! Did she have a change or was she dogmeat?.

You mean "chance" right? If she had a chance, right?
