Footnotes
- ^(I) Although Frame refers to the battle as the "Sydney-Kormoran Action", the battle is not named in any other source.
- ^(II) Some sources state that the Kriegsmarine operated eleven auxiliary cruisers; two were reclassified for other uses before leaving Germany.
- ^(III) Other sources state that 317 survived, including two Chinese. The third Chinese sailor was aboard the lifeboat found by Centaur: as Eurylochus was owned by the Blue Funnel Line, while Centaur belonged to the subsidiary Ocean Steamship Company, he was integrated into Centaur's crew instead of being handed over with the Germans.
