From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Many thanks to those who submitted comments about my query on naval cutlasses. the mention of the Altmark made me look it up as I read about it many years ago. A download of the story of the confrontation between the Altmark and HMS Cossack is available from: http://www.hmscossack.freeserve.co.uk/history.htm I heartily recommend it.
