This photograph shows the climax of the battle, when HMCS Assiniboine rammed U-210 just behind its conning tower.

Assiniboine's machine guns ultimately put the U-Boat's 20mm anti-aircraft guns (upper left) out of action, while one of the destroyer's main guns scored a direct hit on the conning tower, killing the submarine's bridge crew and its commander, Rudolf Lemcke. U-210 then tried to dive, but Assiniboine rammed the submarine, forcing it to the surface again, where the destroyer rammed it a second time, dropped depth-charges, and hit it with gunfire. U-210 sank shortly afterwards.
