Footnote: Karl Dahl was born on December 24, 1913. He was the Oberfeuerwerksmaat (Senior Ordnance Mate, NCO equivalent) of Ship no. 36, in charge of the ammunition. Ships that were numbered were civil ships that the Kriegsmarine requisitioned and repurposed for military tasks. No. 36 was originally named “Kurmark”, but once the Kriegsmarine took control of it, it was renamed “Orion”. The British Navy knew it as “Raider A”. In April 1940 the ship became an auxiliary cruiser under the designation “Handelsschutzkreuzer 1” (HSK 1). On April 6, 1940 the “Orion” left Germany for the Atlantic, rounding Cape Horn and entering the Pacific on May 21. It set course for New Zealand. There, the crew mined the harbour of Auckland. One of the mines sank the passenger ship “Niagara” five days later. The “Orion” went on to mine different harbours in the area. During the next few months the crew was able to capture a French merchant vessel and sink three cargo ships. In late 1940 the “Orion” joined forces with the “Komet” and the “Kulmerland” to attack the island of Nauru in order to destroy its phosphate industry. They sank the island’s supply vessel and four freighters anchoring in its harbour. However, the attack on the island itself had to be postponed due to bad weather, and eventually was carried out solely by the “Komet”. The “Orion” moved on and patrolled the Pacific and the Indian Ocean for another eight months, yet didn’t manage to sink any additional ships. In June of 1941 it began the long journey home, sinking a twelfth and final ship on the way, a freighter near Cape Verde. On August 23, 1941 the “Orion” landed in Bordeaux after 511 days at sea.
