Железный крест
For sinking "Sydney", Detmers' Iron Cross First Class was upgraded to the Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross (Ritterkreuz). "Kormoran"s executive officer, gunnery officer, and a sailor who manned the starboard gun were awarded the Iron Cross First Class (for the executive officer, this was a bar to a previous Iron Cross), while the rest of the ship's company were all awarded the Iron Cross Second Class.
