Has anyone read about these ships? Can anyone recommend one or several books about this topic?

Thank you! :up:

Hello,

for a basic introduction:

Kriegsmarine Auxiliary Cruisers (OSPREY, New Vanguard)

and in German, there is an excellent book (in my opinion is better):

in EN: Edwin Hoyt: Raider 16

and in german:
