Conspiracy theories- HMAS Sydney

[Snowtractor]

I have read that a couple of th German raiders had Cruiser sized guns, although in single mounts. If the Aussie cruiser were caught completely unware I could see it, though with the extra armour and more guns , let alone trained crew ( as were the Germans)
I would think the cruiser would prevail on any prolonged battle.
I do not know what its layout was but it you could take out the bridge or fire control quickly odds would favour the krauts then I should think.
But loss of all hands? Makes me speculate a fire in a magazine or a torpedo finished her off.
Seems like a damn fine mystery for the Seahunters show.
