Kulmerland (ship)

Kulmerland (ship)

The "Kulmerland" was a supply ship of the Kriegsmarine that operated during the Second World War in the Indian Ocean and Pacific Ocean. It was named after the Kulmerland region of Prussia, with the city of Kulm, which in 1920 was made part of the Polish Corridor.

It supplied German auxiliary ships (surface raiders) such as the "Kormoran", "Orion" and "Komet", for a time disguised as a Japanese merchant ship "Tokyo Maru".
