There is a conspiracy theory that a Japanese sub assisted the Germans and possibly killed the Australian survivors

Always struck me as complete nonsense, and like most lame conspiracy theories, the motivation behind it is pretty clear - from what we know of the sinking, it's pretty clear the captain of the Sydney really, really, really messed up and the whole thing was an embarassing mistake - some Australians would like to believe in a devious conspiracy instead.

anyone got the name of the survivor?
