In January 1916 Vizeadmiral Scheer took command of the High Sea
Fleet. This aggressive and pugnacious leader embarked upon a
vigorous offensive program which culminated in the greatest clash
between dreadnought capital ships the world had seen. Although
outnumbered almost two to one, Vizeadmiral Scheer conducted a
provocative operation on 31 May 1916. Who would prevail: the
massive preponderance of British heavy calibre cannon, or the
aggressive tactics of the street fighter Scheer? Manning the ships
of both sides were the technically skilled and talented seamen who
were prepared to carry out their duties loyally and courageously
until the very end. Over 8,500 men perished in less than 10 hours
of fighting, a horrendous loss, even by World War One standards.
This book gives voice to many of the German Navy participants, from
a German perspective, on this tumultuous battle fought over 100
years ago. These men gave their all and are gone now, but not
forgotten.
