Editing SS Commissaire Ramel (section)

===Sinking===
Under the management of the [[Shaw, Savill & Albion Line]] she sailed from Sydney on 1 September 1940 bound for Britain via Cape Town,<ref name="frenchlines"/> under the command of Captain R MacKenzie. Just after midnight on 19 September she was attacked by the [[Commerce raiding|commerce raider]] {{ship|German auxiliary cruiser|Atlantis}}. After the crew abandoned ship, they were picked up by ''Atlantis'', who then finished off the ship,<ref name="alamer"/> sinking her at position {{Coord|28|25|S|74|23|E|display=inline, title}}.<ref name="frenchlines"/> Three of her crew were killed and 63 taken prisoner.

200 prisoners taken by ''Atlantis'' from several ships were later transferred to the captured Yugoslavian ship ''Durmitor''. The captain of ''Durmitor'' reported after the war that the cook from ''Commissaire Ramel'' was employed to cook for the German prize crew and that the captain of ''Commissaire Ramel'' managed to hide a bottle of poison with which he intended to neutralize the Germans, but after determining the ship's course and position, learning about the poor fuel situation from the captain of ''Durmitor'' and considering the possibility that ''Atlantis'' might re-appear once the ship was taken over by the prisoners and take revenge, he gave up his plan.<ref name="frenchlines"/>

The prisoners were landed at [[Warsheikh]] in [[Italian East Africa]] on 22 November 1940. They were held in a camp at [[Merca]] until liberated by British troops on 25 February 1941 during the [[East African Campaign (World War II)|East African Campaign]].<ref name="frenchlines"/> ''Durmitor'' survived the war and was returned to Yugoslavia.
