On 13 April 1940, HMS Warspite led nine Royal Navy destroyers deep into Narvik Fjord in northern Norway, confronting eight German destroyers trapped after the invasion of Norway. In just a few brutal hours during the Second Battle of Narvik, Britain destroyed every remaining German destroyer in the fjord — a catastrophic blow that eliminated nearly half of the Kriegsmarine’s destroyer strength in four days.
This video breaks down the full story of the Battle of Narvik, from the iron ore supply crisis that made Narvik strategically vital, to the refueling failure that stranded the German fleet, to the bold decision by Vice-Admiral William Whitworth to risk a 31,000-ton battleship in confined waters. You’ll see how HMS Warspite’s 15-inch guns dominated the fjord, how the Fairey Swordfish sank U-64 in one of the first successful anti-submarine air attacks of the war, and how HMS Eskimo survived after losing her entire bow to a torpedo.
This is World War II naval history explained through strategy, logistics, and hard numbers — not mythology.
