auxiliary cruiser books?

[George Stimson]

Can anyone recommend a good book or books on the auxiliary cruisers? (I already have The German Raider Atlantis by Captain Bernhard Rogge and Wolfgang Frank.)
Thank you!

Hello All:
I am new to the site, but not Hilfskreuzers. I have been researching them for more than a decade with the help and support of many surviving crewmen. Here is a short listing of books dealing with the Hilfskreuzers. I have just recently finished a 350+ page book covering all aspects of "Atlantis" which will be published by US Naval Institute Press in the next 12-18 months.
Please feel free to email me. I have an extensive collection of Hilfskreuzer material that I freely share with fellow researchers.



Here are some good books covering the subject:
Alexander, Roy. Sea Prison and Shore Hell: The Cruise of the Raider “Atlantis” From the Diary of John Creagh. 1942.

I know this is an old thread, but I just finished reading this book, "Under Ten Flags," also know as The German Raider Atlantis. Does anyone know where I can get the movie, on DVD, that is in English? Any help here would be great. So far I have had no luck.

Thanks to anyone who can help.

Contact member Martin Westley for possible title advice. He's studied them in depth, great knowledge, and a very nice guy.

Perhaps a bit off-subject, but are there any crew lists available for these ships?
