Crucea de Fier
For sinking "Sydney", Detmers' Iron Cross First Class was upgraded to the Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross. "Kormoran"s executive officer, gunnery officer, and the sailor who manned the starboard gun were awarded the Iron Cross First Class (although for the executive officer, this was a bar to a previous Iron Cross), while the other members of the crew were all awarded the Iron Cross Second Class.
