Der getarnte Frachter, der einen modernen Kreuzer in die Tiefe riss!
The camouflaged freighter that sank an entire warship with 645 men! Behind the innocuous paintwork of an ordinary merchant steamer lurked one of the most dangerous auxiliary cruisers of World War II. For over a year, the Kormoran, under the command of Theodor Detmers, hunted across the Atlantic and Indian Oceans, sinking ten merchant ships, capturing another, and repeatedly deceiving its opponents with false flags and constantly changing camouflage. On November 19, 1941, the camouflaged hunter encountered the Australian light cruiser Sydney off the coast of Western Australia, and this encounter became one of the most dramatic and deadly naval battles in the entire history of warfare. This true story tells of the secret naval war, the rise and fall of this invisible predator of the seas. Music in the video: Eyes of Glory by Aakash Gandhi and Duty Calls by Rod Kim.
