The Great War - So Sleep Easy In Your Beds (Episode Six) Part 3/4

[mjeshaw]

One of the many fascinating aspects of this series is the number of parallels it reveals with WW2 - for instance, in this episode, the Kaiser's orders not to risk the further loss of ships after the Battle of the Heligoland Bight, which restricted Admiral Tirpitz's surface operations, putting the emphasis on submarine warfare instead, just as Hitler's orders tied Canaris's hands after the loss of the Tirpitz's sister ship, the Bismarck, favouring Doenitz and his U boats instead.
