Interesting, I'd never even heard the story before. If I was German, I'd probably want to make a movie about it.

There is some good original footage about german raiders shown now and then in well-made history features/reports here, but mostly about WW1.

There were quite some Hilfskreuzer (~auxiliary cruisers) used by Germany in WW2, but the lack of overseas support bases made the conduct difficult to say at least. Most were sunk early, and only a few were really successful, like the Hilfskreuzer »Atlantis« (translation by Google) with lots of translation errors sigh

HMAS Sydney (II) and the HSK Kormoran survey expedition 3 May 2015:

May they all rest in peace.
