Throughout WW2, Britain relied heavily on its supply routes across the World to provide for both the military, manufacturing and civilians populations. Germany was aware of the reliance on these lifelines. Even before war broke out It sent into action a new ship; the Admiral Graf Spee, to cause chaos in merchant shipping and hinder the British Navy in its war effort.
The ship operated as a commerce raider during a three month campaign in the South Atlantic before being forced into engaging in a climatic battle at the entrance to the River Plate.
This is the story of an elaborate game of deceit and suggestion. This it the real-time true story of how Germanys greatest Pocket Battleship foundered at the end of 1939, through a first-person perspective, produced from details taken from a wide range of researched resources and first hand accounts still surviving from the day!
This is when, how and why the pride of Germanys fleet; stronger than any who could outpace it and faster than any who could out-gun it, was lost.
