The German High Seas Fleet
This CD-ROM includes a reproduction of this 1920 publication.
300 pages
by Admiral Reinhard Scheer 1920 - profusely illustrated in this new edition available only on CDROM.  This edition of Admiral Reinhard Scheer's memoirs is a transcript of the original English version which was published in 1920.

In December 1914, Scheer became chief of the Third Squadron of the High Seas Fleet. and in January 1910 replaced Admiral von Pohl as chief of the High Seas Fleet. In that capacity, on May 31, 1916, he commanded the fleet at Jutland. He led the German fleet into the battle of Jutland, one of the great naval battles of this century. The Germans refer to Jutland as The Battle of the Skagerrak. In the battle, the German fleet out fought the Royal Navy with superior gunnery and tactics.  

 Admiral Scheer was a strong supporter of unrestricted submarine warfare a tactic which ultimately brought the USA into the war making Germany’s defeat inevitable, something Admiral Scheer denies, blaming Germany’s defeat on internal weakness. His attitude shared by others inevitably led Germany into an even more devastating war. 

Germany"s High Seas Fleet in the World War is not a history of the German navy in World War 1, it is rather a history of the Imperial fleet stationed in Germany which challenged the British Royal Navy for control of the North Sea. This is one of the principal books on naval operations in World War 1.
