Any Hilfskreuzer (Auxiliary Cruiser) photos out there?

[WWIIBuff]

I've seen the few great Hilfskreuzer action photos that have been published in books like the Kormoran and the Atlantis, but what are in our members collections? Are there any members of the forum with individual photos or photo groups taken aboard any of the german Auxiliary Cruiser's that sailed the seas during WWII?

Forum member Joe Slavik has posted a few great Hilfkreuzer awardee portraits in the past, but I am curious if there are action photos out there as well?

Here is a small group of three photo's that came from the HSK Pinguin.The Pinguin was sunk by HMS Cornwall on May 8 1941,with great loss of life.I can only presume that the original set of photo's or negatives somehow made it back to Germany on one of the Pinguin's prize ships.
The first photo is of the Ships officers,with the Commander,Ernst-Felix Kruder,seated center.
