Scharnhorst's last message

Can anybody tell me, what exactly was Scharnhorst's last message in German? I mean that "we'll fight to the last shell". Translating causes mistakes, so I'd be glad to see original text of this message.
TIA

Fritz-Otto Busch told this in his book about the last mission of Kpt Hintze's ship that few minutes before the end the signal station on port turret IV received from the main bridge a similar signal.

Well, exactly I wanted to know how was this message originally in German. Translating causes mistakes... etc.

Yeah, excuse me, I read fastly and I didn't undertand your question proprerly...

Well, I don't know if a report of the message in Seekriegsleitung's archives exists, but I know a person who knows for sure.
I'll send him a message.
