In November 1941 the Australian light cruiser HMAS Sydney, with a crew of 645, disappeared off the coast of Western Australia. Shipwrecked German sailors told a tale of how their ship, a lightly armoured merchant raider, had sunk the pride of the Australian navy. What really happened in the desperate fight to the death between the two ships?
