The author set himself the difficult task of tracing most of the key German survivors of the famous sea battle, who were scattered all over the world. He was strongly criticised at the time for approaching the Kormoran survivors to document their reminiscences because, as one critic put it: "Why ask them anything about it? They are only going to give you lies." Years later, once the Sydney-Kormoran wrecks were discovered in the depths of the Indian Ocean, and interest was revived, the author's research was proven to be invaluable.
