World War Two
Published 16 Sep 2021There is more to war on merchant shipping than U-Boats and the Battle of the Atlantic. Raiders disguised as innocent traders also play the role of privateers; stalking vessels, approaching with a false flag, and then striking before anyone can react. Here’s the story of one: Kormoran.

World War Two
3 hours ago
Another naval-focused episode and this one is exciting: Nazi pirates. On a meta-level, this episode drives home just how huge this war is. Imagine being able to survey the whole globe in November 1941 as if it was on Google Earth. You zoom onto the Soviet Union where the Nazi Blitzkrieg is burning through fields and towns, you zoom onto Japanese naval bases where preparations are being made for Pearl Harbor, you zoom onto the tank-filled deserts of North Africa; and then you zoom onto an ocean somewhere and see a lone merchant raider stalking the oceans, hunting its prey. It’s on a smaller scale but that raider is part of the war just like the drive on Moscow is. All just one big war, across the whole globe.
