Thor Lutken var kaptein ombord da MT Teddy den 8/11 1940 ble kapret og senere senket av tyskerne. Det tyske raider skipet Atlantis satte om bord et prisemannskap og bunkret en del dieselolje, tok en del av provianten og en del av mannskapet før hun dro fra stedet. Skipet kom tilbake 13/11 og tok over mer dieselolje og ca. 1000 tonn fyringsolje samt alle mann. Den 14/11 i posisjon 02.21S, 93. 23Ø ble Teddy forsøkt senket med eksplosiver, senere hørte de innesperrede kanonild. Kapteinen fikk komme på dekk ca kl 1400 og så bare en røyksøyle der M/T TEDDY hadde vært. Hele mannskapet ble reddet.

Going through new source material in order to document the war sailors and their history is an ongoing and extensive effort, and there exist no complete register over decorations awarded. Infomation about medals will therefore be registered gradually and be based on different source materials. The war sailors were awarded medals both during and after the war. Do you want to read more about decorations, then please study this page: Decorations
