There were more than 2000 of the crew and the occupation forces from Gruppe 5 aboard the cruiser, half of them went to the bottom, or burned in the fire of fuel spilled on the surface of the water.
The rest in pretty bad state were saved from the cold water of Drøbaksund and taken prisoner by a company of the Norwegian guardsmen from Drøbak city. A propos, among the cruiser passengers were occupation administration, as well as special task force, who had to seize the parliament, the government, the king and the gold reserves of National bank.
