Chief Steward Carl Thorsell was killed in the air raid.
Norway wasn't officially at war with Japan, so the crew of the Herstein, with one exception, the Captain, decided to wait for the Japanese landing to get out of Rabaul with their help.
They ended up as prisoners.

Captain Godtfred Martin Gundersen didn't trust the Japanese and wanted to avoid interrogation, so he decided to get away on his own.
This resulted in a 350 mile, 78 day journey through the jungle of New Britain before being picked up, along with some Australians.

While Norway didn't declare war on Japan until July '45, Norwegian merchant ships supported the Allied war effort in the Pacific and Asia, with 27 ships sunk by Japanese forces.
Around 900 Norwegians were in Japanese captivity, of which 134 didn't survive the ordeal.

#Ukraine: The serious deficit in missile stocks for Ukrainian legacy Soviet air defense systems are covered in all possible ways; one such example are these orange-toned missiles for the 9K33M3 Osa-AKM.
These missiles are apparently from 🇯🇴 Jordanian stocks.

Jordanian 9K33M2 Osa-AK systems were withdrawn from service in 2017. 35 out of 52 were later sold to Armenia, with the destination of the rest unclear.
The 9M33M2 missiles used with Jordanian Osa-AK are older and less capable than the 9M33M3 usually used with the Osa-AKM.
