Actually there has been a film on the event. It goes by the title, " Die Männer Der Emden." Sadly, it's all in German. But there is a copy here on YouTube.

@Yamashiro_Kai they had one under construction.They Face the same basic problem as the rest of their surface forces. Lack of escorts, lack of Oilers, and access to the Atlantic. They also have zero experience. Many other nations have several carriers and years of experience Crew.

@AlmiranteBrown-rf9qv Theoretically, perhaps ? But, that shipbuilding capability is better used on other things.

@AlmiranteBrown-rf9qv U-boats mostly. Escorts and Logistics. Spending money on big surface Raiders was a waste. They were not efficient for Commerce raiding. And they were not numerous or supported for Fleet action. You are Building more ships that essentially are just going to sit in Port in France or in a fjord in Norway. And they were always notoriously short of things like Oilers to refuel any of these things. And they were lacking and destroyers for a lot of their Coastal shipping escorts of their limited shipping. Also these Fleet units use tremendous amounts of fuel . Oil being used for another one of these heavy Cruisers or battleships is fuel needed by the Luftwaffe or by Rommel.
