You know... during the Operation Wikinger, the Kriegsmarine failed to notify their destroyers that the Luftwaffe were making anti-ship patrols, the Luftwaffe were also failed to be informed that there were German Destroyers down there. They believed that Leberecht was hit by one bomb from a He 111 bomber, she lost her steering, and assumed sunk. But during the postwar investigation revealed that Leberecht and Max were actually sunk by naval mines laid by British Destroyers, Ivanhoe and Intrepid.
Leberecht wouldn't be quite compatible with the guys in Luftwaffe.
[Sorry for the typo, kind a miss that one... somehow I couldn't resist making errors when typing long statements, anyway thanks for pointing that out.]

Those must be some pretty awesome destroyers. On both sides.
