This story is not just well known today in Arabia, but most of the western seaboard of Australia, as well as many parts of Malaysia and Singapore still remember the legendary success of the Emden against the forces arrayed against her, the monumental Battle of the Cocos-Keeling Islands, and the daring and gallantry of the landing party who returned to Germany. Indeed, at the centre of the Australian War Memorial, just opposite the Commonwealth Parliament Buildings, and immediately behind the Hall of Remembrance (the Grave of the Unknown Soldier), two guns face each other in perpetuity: a gun recovered from the SMS Emden, and a gun removed from HMAS Sydney I (from when she was scrapped). Although the Gallipoli Campaign is probably better known than the Battle of the Cocos-Keeling Islands, in the veteran community, and also the western regions of Australia that were affected most heavily by Emden's successes, the story lives on, the history is remembered. Every time they leave or enter the naval base in Sydney, Australia, warships from the modern Royal Australian Navy still salute the mast and memory of HMAS Sydney I, which sits on a prominent cliff head flying the White Ensign, a cry back to the great Sydney-Emden battle. It also mixes with the collective sadness, as only a few decades later, HMAS Sydney I's namesake, HMAS Sydney II, was sunk with all hands in the epic Battle of Sydney-Kormoran, only a few hundred miles from the resting place of SMS Emden. As a maritime nation, the earliest naval success of the nation is very much part of the fabric of modern Australia, and the bravery and gallantry of sailors on both sides is respected in that today.

[@privatevendetta]

I just learned that the SMS Emden was award an Iron Cross (a decoration for bravery in war) after it was sunk. Every German battle ship named Emden bore a version of that Iron Cross. It was most commonly fixed to the bow of each ship. After the latest incarnation of the Emden was scrapped, the Iron Cross of that ship was gifted to Australia.

After the end of WW2 to give the German people the will to face the communist threat, across the iron curtain, and so soon after the war to put up with conscription once more, it became western government policy's to encourage their own people to look upon the German people with a more benevolent attitude. Also remember the men, this film depicts, are regulars not conscripts and come from a time when discipline was far beyond anything most of us know today. At this time mas transport was unknown and along with the hardships you view here it has been made to look impressive to modern eyes as most of you don't even walk to the local shops!

The Emden was not a privateer. It was a commissioned ship of war of the Kreigsmarine

Yes, a commerce raider is not a 'privateer'.

[@alexis_ian]

Correction its Kaiserliche Marine or Imperial "German" Navy from (1871-1918) after World war 1 there was another cruiser named "Emden" that was built for the Reichmarine (Realm Navy) from 1921 to 1935 and then later Kriegsmarine (War Navy) from 1935 to 1945. After World War 2 there would be 2 more ships named Emden the first was a Bremen-class F122 frigats for the Budsmarine (1956-1995), later renamed Deusche Marine, German Navy from 1995-Onwards. That was in service from 1983 to 2013 when it was decomissioned next year another naval ship this time a corvette of the Bruanschweig-class corvette K130 batch 2 will carry the name Emden!

The whole Gallipoli operation cost 26,111 Australian casualties, including 8,141 deaths. Of the some 115, 000 British and Dominion casualties (ANZACS included) nearly half (73,485) were British and Irish troops.

One of the deck guns from 'Emden' stands as a memorial in Hyde Park, Sydney, New South Wales. It is fittingly engraved with the crew names of both ships.

The Russian cruiser Zhemchug that was sunk by SMS Emden in Penang was not a battlecruiser, but a protected light cruiser, a survivor of the battle of Tsushima.

[@jyralnadreth4442]

Specifically a 2nd Class Cruiser...SMS Emden was far superior in terms of Armour and had more main guns ( 10 x Smaller 105mm guns compared to the 8 x 120mm Canet guns the Russian vessel possessed)

[@PSPaaskynen]

@@jyralnadreth4442 It speaks for the professionalism of the Russian crew that despite the total and complete surprise (and their captain being ashore), they managed to get off a few shots (regrettably, in the confusion and the darkness, they missed the Emden and hit a freighter in the harbour).

Great Video. But HMAS Sydney was no battlecruiser she was significantly larger and heavier Armed than the Emden but Sydney was still a light cruiser. Also Penang attack, Emden did not escape by the skin of her teeth. She won a decisive victory by COMPLETLY surprising the Port defenses. sinking a Russian-protected Cruiser and a French destroyer while suffering no damage at all. She even had time to stop and pick up survivors from the French Destroyer

[@Dave_Sisson]

In regard to ship designations, I think it's the translation from the German the film was made in. While the film is well made and otherwise well translated, I suspect that the translator may not have been a naval specialist and may not have understood how important the differences between different types of ships are.

[@theccpisaparasite8813]

Agreed. Sydney was a solid 6" light cruiser. Emden was, in contrast, more of a destroyer on steroids.

[@ivanstrydom8417]

Allowing the occupants to disembark before sinking the freighter vessels , actual honourable warfare. Respect. The British allowing the Germans to board their sailing vessel with full provisions.

@@Dave_Sisson "Deadliest" isn't a shipping term. "Dead" is right in front of your nose as the root of the word. Just like "private" is obviously the root of "privateer".

(Post war given to Australia) Other possessions include: Samoa, Cameroun, Marshall Islands, Mariana Islands. They also had offices in Turkey and Morocco. I don't think this is a complete list, just what I remember. The video gives the impression that Germany only owned Tientsin. Not true. Tientsin may have been their only overseas naval base but not their only possession.

[@edjacobs6897]

Sorry to pick the faults, 1. Emden opened fire first, after Sydney has set her course parallel to Emden - quote from von Muller's report 2. at 13.50 approx Sydeny fires on Emden - sorry no triple guns in any turret. 3. I have a feeling that von Muller destroyed the Emden's flag , what the landing party would have carried would have been the Imperial Flag 4 Sydney was not a Battle Cruiser , she was a Chatham-class light cruiser. 5. You will find that Emden fired first and Glossop( Sydney) decided to then stand off to avoid gunfire and torpedo attacks Books worth reading, EMDEN written by Franz Joseph, Prinz Von Hohenzollern -Emden from his memoirs , Gentlemen of War by Dan van der Vat I would suggest that the modern film in the Doco is taken from the German film " Die Manner Der Emden, 13,000 Kilometer" unfortunately it is in German but you get the story Two Great Men ,

I liked this, despite the unfortunate inaccuracies here and there , and the mistranslation of ship types (a battle cruiser being, essentially, a battleship built for great speed, and hence larger than most battleships due to the need for more machinery space in order to achieve its speed) - the light cruiser that sank the Emden would have been utterly dwarfed by an actual battle-cruiser!. With a little reworking, this could have been a great, rather than a merely good documentary. That aside , it's refreshing to hear a true tale of derring-do and honourable behaviour that isn't about us Brits defying the odds on a sticky wicket. Good and honourable people can be found in every nation; one should never make the mistake of thinking that a particular regime, whether good or bad, inevitably dictates the actions of every member of the country ruled by that regime.
