	German auxiliary cruiser Atlantis - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Atlantis, known to the Kriegsmarine as Schiff 16 and to the Royal Navy as Raider-C, was a converted German Hilfskreuzer (auxiliary cruiser, or merchant or commerce raider) of the Kriegsmarine, which, during World War II, travelled more than 161,000 km in 602 days, and sank 22 ships totaling 144,384 tons.
		The cruiser carried a dummy funnel, variable-height masts, and was well supplied with paint, canvas, and materials for further altering her appearance, including costumes for the crew and flags.
		By April, Atlantis had returned to the Atlantic where, on the 17th, Kapitän Rogge, understandably mistaking the Egyptian liner Zamzam for a British liner being used as a troop carrier or Q-ship, as she was in fact the former Bibby Liner Leicestershire, opened fire at 8.4 km.

		In the 20th century, expressionism began as an almost entirely German movement; Dada was founded in Switzerland; and the Bauhaus school of art and design was influential worldwide.
		Many prehistoric artefacts have been found in Germanic areas, and a wealth of Celtic works remain, but it was not until the Ottonian era that a distinctively national style emerged.

	Hilfskreuzer (Auxiliary Cruiser / Raider) - Atlantis
		Atlantis crew rescued by the supply ship Python, which is later sunk by the heavy cruiser HMS Dorsetshire.
		Having stalked her all day, she was attacked and battered to a standstill by six rapid salvos, which left her deck cargo, the aircraft, on fire, her funnel and mast down, rudder jammed, 12 of her crew dead and the rest in the water.
		Atlantis was no match for a heavy cruiser armed with eight 8-inch guns, and even with both engines fully operational, was slower by about 14 knots, so Rogge knew his only hope was to lure her closer, within range of his guns and torpedoes.

	German auxiliary cruiser Kormoran - (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		The German auxiliary cruiser Kormoran (HSK-8, Schiff 41, Raider G) was a warship used in World War II.
		In common with other auxiliary cruisers, it had substantial (hidden) armament: six 150 mm (5.9 in) guns, torpedoes and seaplanes, but lacked the armour protection, control systems, and speed of a proper warship.
		The fact that the only survivors of the battle were German, has allowed the battle between Sydney and Kormoran to become the subject of much controversy, speculation and conspiracy theory.
