Action of 4 April 1941

The Action of 4 April 1941 was a naval battle fought during the Atlantic Campaign of the Second World War. A German commerce raider encountered a British auxiliary cruiser and sank her with heavy losses after an hour of fighting.
==Background==
The ''Kriegsmarine'' auxiliary cruiser was raiding in the mid Atlantic in early 1941. On that cruise, the Germans engaged two other British armed merchant cruisers (HMS ''Alcantara'' and HMS ''Carnavon Castle'') in surface battles but they ended indecisively. So when ''Thor'' encountered , her crew were already battle tested and anxious to sink an enemy combatant. ''Thor'' was long and weighed , she was armed with six , two and four naval guns along with four torpedo tubes. The raider also carried an Arado Ar 196A-1 floatplane for reconnaissance and had a complement of 349 officers and crewmen.〔
HMS ''Voltaire'' was larger than the raider—displacing —but with a smaller crew of 269 men and officers. She had eight and two naval guns, including at least one anti-aircraft mount. ''Thor'' was returning to Germany when she found ''Voltaire'' heading to Freetown about southwest of the Cape Verde Islands.〔
