This book tells about the German auxiliary cruiser HK-33, which gained fame under the name "Penguin". It operated along the Allied sea routes in the Indian Ocean, around Australia, New Zealand and in Antarctica. The team managed to set an absolute record, capturing 200,000 tons of shipping tonnage from the enemy. On May 8, 1941, the Penguin was sunk by the cruiser Cornwall, which was superior in speed and armament.
