“Why is the admiral’s flag at half-mast?’ came the radio call from Gneisenau. ‘Is he dead?’ The reply was prompt.”
James Phelps, Australian Code Breakers: Our top-secret war with the Kaiser's Reich

“The men thought they were about to be saved. They were wrong. Glasgow and Cornwall opened fire at 8.30 pm. ‘This is sheer murder,’ shouted a gunner aboard Glasgow, refusing the captain’s directive and instead giving his own order to the crew: ‘She is a sinking ship. Cease fire!”
James Phelps, Australian Code Breakers: Our top-secret war with the Kaiser's Reich

“And with that Kent opened fire with machine guns and shells. They slaughtered the survivors. All of them.”
James Phelps, Australian Code Breakers: Our top-secret war with the Kaiser's Reich
