Taken on strength with the Royal Australian Navy between the wars and named for her sister ship who had sunk the German raider Emden during WW1, HMAS Sydney (II) gained fame as lucky ship during operations in the Mediterranean Theatre in World War 2. Involved in a number of actions in that theatre, including the sinking of the Bartolmeo Colleoni, while barely sustaining any damage herself, she came to be considered invincible. This reputation followed her into the waters off Western Australia and in action against a German raider, the Kormoran. The result would be the opposite of her sister ship's meeting with the Emden.

Durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial, la Marina alemana empleó una táctica poco convencional pero efectiva: los buques corsarios. Estas embarcaciones, camufladas como navíos mercantes, se embarcaron en misiones de asedio y ataque contra los convoyes aliados en los océanos Atlántico, Índico y Pacífico. Estos buques, equipados con armamento pesado y tripulados por marinos altamente capacitados, representaron una amenaza formidable para las fuerzas navales aliadas. Los buques corsarios alemanes, conocidos como "raiders", fueron diseñados para operar de manera autónoma y causar el mayor daño posible al enemigo. Uno de los más famosos fue el Atlantis, comandado por el capitán Bernhard Rogge. Equipado con cañones, torpedos y aviones de reconocimiento, el Atlantis hundió o capturó numerosos barcos aliados en su carrera, lo que le valió el apodo de "fantasma del Atlántico". Otro corsario destacado fue el Kormoran, que libró una batalla legendaria contra el crucero australiano HMAS Sydney en noviembre de 1941. A pesar de ser superado en tamaño y potencia de fuego, el Kormoran logró infligir daños devastadores al Sydney antes de ser hundido en la batalla. Los buques corsarios alemanes operaron con éxito durante varios años, causando estragos en las rutas de suministro marítimo aliadas y desafiando a las fuerzas navales enemigas. Sin embargo, su tiempo en acción fue limitado, ya que muchos fueron hundidos por las fuerzas aliadas o capturados antes de que pudieran causar un daño aún mayor. El legado de los buques corsarios alemanes perdura como un recordatorio de la ingeniosa táctica naval empleada por la Marina alemana durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial. Su valentía y determinación en el combate marcaron un capítulo notable en la historia naval de la guerra y continúan siendo objeto de estudio y admiración en la actualidad. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- VIAJE 2024* https://antenahistoria.com/normandia-memorable/ Antena Historia te regala 30 días PREMIUM, para que lo disfrutes https://www.ivoox.com/premium?affiliate-code=b4688a50868967db9ca413741a54cea5 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Produce Antonio Cruz Edita ANTENA HISTORIA Antena Historia (podcast) forma parte del sello iVoox Originals ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- web……….https://antenahistoria.com/ correo..... mailto:info@antenahistoria.com Facebook…..Antena Historia Podcast | Facebook Twitter…...https://twitter.com/AntenaHistoria Telegram…...https://t.me/foroantenahistoria DONACIONES PAYPAL...... https://paypal.me/ancrume ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ¿QUIERES ANUNCIARTE en ANTENA HISTORIA?, menciones, cuñas publicitarias, programas personalizados, etc. Dirígete a Antena Historia - AdVoices https://advoices.com/antena-historia Escucha el episodio completo en la app de iVoox, o descubre todo el catálogo de iVoox Originals

Before they reached the beach they disposed of any items which could complicate their capture. This episode recounts a unique 2007 discovery at Red Bluff and the key events of the engagement between Sydney and Kormoran.

It's been a long quest to solve an Australian military mystery, identifying a man, who for 80 years was the 'unknown' sailor. This is a case that had bugged the Royal Australian Navy for decades, trying to put a name to a World War Two crewman who was found to have initially surivived a fierce nautical fight battle off the coast of Western Australia in 1941 between the HMAS Sydney and a German warship. Both boats sank and it was thought that all the Australian crew died. But months after the ocean conflict, a life raft with the remains of an unidentified HMAS Sydney Crewman was found near Christmas Island. He was one of the 645 crew who died in what remains Australia's greatest naval disaster. No other bodies were recovered. But who was he? This is where DNA expert Dr Jeremy Austin from the University of Adelaide takes up the intriguing story.

Following news that there has been a positive DNA match made for the “Unknown Sailor”, the only sailor recovered from HMAS Sydney sunk off the West Australian coast with the loss of 645 lives during the Second World War, Michael speaks with Ian McPhedran, former national defence writer for News Limited & Author of ‘Where Soldiers Lie - The Quest to Find Australia's Missing War Dead', who has written extensively about the sinking of the HMAS Sydney.   The decomposed body of the ‘Unknown Sailor' was found in a Carley float at Christmas Island in February 1942, three months after the ship was lost.  The body was recovered from an unmarked grave on Christmas Island and re-buried at Geraldton in WA on the anniversary of the sinking on November 9 in 2008.   Over thirty five thousand Australian soldiers and airmen are still listed as Missing In Action from the wars of the 20th Century.   Mr McPhedran's book tells the moving story of the determination and skill of the searchers who apply old-fashioned detective work and cutting-edge science to solve the mysteries of the missing and bring peace of mind and solace to their families and to all those who serve.

HMAS Perth (1) a cruiser of the same class as HMAS Sydney and commissioned into the RAN in 1939 was sunk by an overwhelming Japanese force in the Sunda Strait on 1st March 1942. USS Houston was also sunk.  More than half of the crew of 681 died in action. The survivors had to ensure appalling conditions on the Thai-Burma railway and some survived a second sinking in 1945, this time by American submarines who were unaware the transport ships carried POWs.  Some spent 6 days in the sea before being rescued.  Of the entire crew, only 1 in 3 returned to Australia. The HMAS Perth (1) Memorial Foundation has been established to raise funds to construct a memorial which will be located with the naval cadets training unit, TS Perth, in East Fremantle.  Their aim is to complete this in time for the 80th anniversary of the sinking. Mike Bailey, President of the HMAS Perth (1) Memorial Foundation told Harvey Deegan that it is time for a fitting permanent memorial to the ship and her crew. Governor Kim Beazley (their Patron) will be officially opening an exhibit at the Perth Town Hall on 27th February.  For more information go to www.hmasperth1memorial.com.au See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Meanwhile Back in Australia HMAS Sydney joins the war

Ted Graham AM and Kim Kirsner In 2008 the finding of HMAS Sydney, sunk by the German Raider HSK Kormoran on 19 November 1941, touched the heart of the nation and brought a measure of peace to the families of the 645 Sydney men who were killed. This talk tells of the Finding Sydney Foundation (FSF), from its inception to success, and the research that predicted the position of the raider Kormoran and provided accurate and efficient search boxes for both wrecks.

The Hon. Ted Baillieu, Professor Robin Gerster, Professor Rae Francis and Professor Bruce Scates - Thursday 26 September 2013 Australians have been making pilgrimages to the battlefields and cemeteries of the Second World War since the 1940s. From the jungles of New Guinea and South-East Asia to the mountains of Greece and the deserts of North Africa, they travel in search of the stories of lost loved ones, to mourn the dead and to come to grips with the past. A team of researchers from Monash University retrace the history of these pilgrimages and see how HMAS Sydney, Bomber Command and the historic battles of the 2nd AIF have loaned new life to the Anzac legend.
