Omschrijving
False Flags tells the epic
untold story of German raider voyages to the South Seas during the early years
of World War II. In 1940 the raiders Orion, Komet, Pinguin
and Kormoran left Germany and waged a & pirate war' in the South Seas - part
of Germany's strategy to attack the British Empire's maritime trade on a global
scale. Their extraordinary voyages spanned the globe and are maritime sagas in
the finest tradition of seafaring. The four raiders voyaged across the
Atlantic, Pacific and Indian oceans as well as the Arctic and Antarctic. They
sank or captured 62 ships in a forgotten naval war that is now being told in
its entirety for the first time. The Orion and Komet terrorised
the South Pacific and New Zealand waters before Pearl Harbor when the war was
supposed to be far away. The Pinguin sank numerous Allied merchant ships
in the Indian Ocean before mining the approaches to Australian ports and
capturing the Norwegian whaling fleet in Antarctica. The Kormoran raided
the Atlantic but will always be remembered for sinking the Australian cruiser Sydney
off Western Australia, killing all 645 sailors on board in tragic
circumstances. False Flags is also
the story of the Allied sailors who encountered these raiders and fought
suicidal battles against a superior foe as well as the men, women and children
who endured captivity on board the raiders as prisoners of the Third Reich.
