Would Lütjens have allowed himself to be captured alive by the British?
Short answerProbably not voluntarily. Serious injury and unconsciousness could have made capture possible, but the outcome is uncertain.
NotesVoluntary surrender appears unlikely in this counterfactual. Lütjens might nevertheless have fallen into British hands if he had been seriously injured. Unconsciousness would have removed his ability to choose whether to resist capture. His survival under those circumstances remains uncertain.
