Description
The first part (1914–1915) of this extensive, gripping narrative about the men of the German Imperial Navy during the world war takes us, along with the protagonists, from the deck of the cargo steamer LESBOS to the naval barracks in Wilhelmshaven, and from there to the German warships preparing to set sail for the North Sea, into battle with the Royal Navy of Great Britain. We will experience service on German cruisers and submarines, witness the battles of Heligoland and Dogger Bank, the shelling of English coastal towns, and the sinking of three armored cruisers in the Broad Fourteens, participate in a series of U-boat actions..., but we will also get to know life in the German hinterland and glimpse the discussions of Emperor Wilhelm II with the admirals... For those friends of naval military history who are not satisfied with just dry facts and tabular overviews, but wish to learn much about the living essence of naval warfare from 1914 to 1918, this work is a welcome contribution.
