This book tells about the German auxiliary cruiser NK-33, which gained fame under the name "Penguin." It operated in Allied shipping lanes in the Indian Ocean, the Australia region, New Zealand and the Antarctic. The team managed to set an unconditional record, capturing 200,000 tons of shipping tonnage from the enemy. May 8, 1941 "Penguin" was sunk by the cruiser "Cornwall," superior to it in speed and armament.
