    The diary is a very poignant reminder of those times - he wanted so desperately to forget !

    Fascinating stuff and very clever. I admire people who are clever enough to create such things. The ultimate clues in the search for HMAS Sydney and the Kormoran came from deciphering Detmer's code of small marks that he used to describe the action. It was this "report" that gave the best clues in the search and an idea of what had happened.
