No Survivors: The Horrific Sinking of HMAS Sydney

In November 1941 the HMAS Sydney and HSK Kormoran engaged in a fierce gun battle that left Kormoran crippled and Sydney lost with all hands. This documentary film explores the events of that fateful day and attempts to explain how the Kriegsmarine's auxiliary cruiser Kormoran was able to engage and sink the Royal Australian Navy Leander-class light cruiser HMAS Sydney.

Sydney's 6" Gun turrets were 3D-modelled by friend and Patron of the Oceanliner Designs channel Mr Bailey Pottebaum whose brilliant work can be seen here;
