There is some good original footage about german raiders shown now and then in well-made history features/reports here, but mostly about WW1.
There were quite some
Hilfskreuzer (~auxiliary cruisers) used by Germany in WW2, but the lack of overseas support bases made the conduct difficult to say at least. Most were sunk early, and only a few were really successful, like the Hilfskreuzer ťAtlantisŤ
(translation by Google) with lots of translation errors sigh
HMAS Sydney (II) and the HSK Kormoran survey expedition 3 May 2015:
May they all rest in peace.
