The U.S. Revealed internment figures for 1039 crew members as Capt. Hans Langsdorff prepared his men for internment after the Graf Spee engagement with three British cruisers on December 13. Thirty-six were killed, 60 wounded in Montevideo, with four stragglers held in Uruguay. Langsdorff, wearing his iron cross, said he was ready for internment and remarked that all is over. The Exeter suffered 61 dead and 231 wounded after heavy shelling. The Graf Spee lay sunk in the shallows, having blown itself up with its commander aboard. Langsdorff refused to discuss the Columbus incident, saying he preferred silence for three weeks. Escorts surrounded the German crew at Buenos Aires Arsenal and the immigrant hotel.
