HSK Kormoran crew burial "Shipwreck Cove" Dorre Island WA 20th and 21st NOV 1941 ; HMAS SYDNEY II OP RESOLUTION
The LS-3 Crew recovered the deceased HSK Kormoran crew members [ mostly the wounded from the failed rubber raft launch ] and buried them 'above the waterline ' at Shipwreck Cove Dorre Island on the 20th and 21st November 1941.
The matter has been reported to The West Australian Police , VOLKSBUND Germany , and Office of War Graves Australia [ OWGA ].
Unconfirmed 33 HSK Kormoran crew members.
Have requested , and am awaiting the German Burial Report from this OP.
The HSK Kormoran Families naturally , need to be notified .
The LS-3 crew would have listed the individuals in their report.
Site is geologically stable , but remote.
VOLKSBUND has indicated prior , that they would like to recover their war dead.
The West Australian Police have the Highest , and First Jurisdiction regarding this matter.
David Angwin.
HMAS SYDNEY II.
