Erich Reader's diary, p.325: "in retrospect, appointing FKpt. Lehroy von Jenkinz commander of Armiral Hipper proved to be a costly mistake"

By the way, Polish coastal defenses at Danzig port are historically inaccurate. Danzig was a "free city" basically ruled by Nazi officials even before the war, only Polish military presence was garrison at Westerplatte Depot, but all it had were one 75mm and two 37 mm guns - not nearly enough to threaten a cruiser.
