Who scuttled Peder Skram during Operation Safari?

Did Danish sailors scuttle their fleet so the Germans could not take it?

Yes in general, though Peder Skram's exact fate remains uncertain because German forces were already closely guarding the ship.

A Danish viewer challenges the suggestion that German forces sank the ships, noting that Danish crews scuttled them to prevent capture. That account is accepted for the fleet generally. Peder Skram remains uncertain because German guards reached the closely watched ship almost immediately. Limited English-language material on Operation Safari prevents a firmer conclusion about that individual vessel.
