Subsequent scenes show the Graf Spee leaving Montevideo, after her allotted 72 hour respite. (The German high command was convinced that superior British forces awaited her exit from the River Plate estuary. So they decided to scuttle her.) Aerial views show the Graf Spee proceeding in the estuary. Next, they show smoke and fire as explosives aboard are detonated to scuttle and sink her. Final views are from water level showing the Graf Spee sinking with heavy black smoke billowing all around her.
