A German view of war at sea It is inevitable that most books in English on any conflict in which British Forces were engaged tend to view the subject from a British perspective. The number of accounts or histories from the other side of the battle smoke translated and published in English are Hard to find and in the minority, they are therefore essential for any student who seeks a well-rounded view of a historical event. The great actions at sea during the First World War were few in number so it is fortunate that we have been left with this account by von Hase, who was both a German and a sailor in the service of his country. The book is part history and part a report from an eyewitness and it examines in depth the momentous Battles of Kiel and Jutland fought in the Skagerrak. An invaluable source work on the Imperial German Navy at War. Leonaur editions are newly typeset and are not facsimiles; each title is available in softcover and hardback with dustjacket.

Even though an Imperial German Naval Officer, von Hase clearly tried to present an impartial view of both experiences. He gives the British credit in many areas during the narrative, as of course he does for the Imperial German Navy. His work was particularly interesting to me in the way he explained the workings of a German Battle Cruiser. von Hase covers these aspects in the mechanics of the ship's gunnery procedures as well as the tactics of a battle-crusier in action.
An easy read, without too much detail in which to get lost. I recommend it. I have read several books on the Battle of Jutland (Battle of Skagerrak to the Germans). This is one of the more interesting because it deals with the activity on one specific ship in the action. The 'Derfflinger' was in the thick of the fight between the opposing battle-cruisers. ( )
