Publisher's Summary
The Battle of Jutland, fought near Denmark’s Jutland peninsula in 1916, was unique in the first World War as the only major battle to be fought at sea. The British Royal Navy was then known as the master of the seas, and had been for decades due to its mighty number of ships and devastating arsenal of weaponry. The British were confident about their abilities at sea and had total faith in their Grand Fleet.
However, this confidence had turned into complacency. In the years before the first World War began, the Germans had tried to increase their production to match the British. Their navy got close, and became the only one in the world that could challenge the Royal Navy on the seas. In the lead-up to the Battle of Jutland, the Germans were learning how to engage the British ships from clashes at Heligoland Bight and Dogger Bank. In this audiobook, you will hear about these battles, the personalities of the men involved, the planning, and the skirmishes that finally led to the confusion and devastating loss of life at the Battle of Jutland.
