Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Fighting at Jutland (Abridged Edition): The Personal Experiences of Forty-Five Officers and Men of the British Fleet The narratives of the Fighting at Jutland which are collected in this book were all written by officers or men who were present at the battle, and they are. therefore, first-hand evidence of the detail events of the fighting. The book is not a criticism; it is a record of personal experiences. i One has often felt that a great gap would be filled in the histories of old-time naval battles if one could read true stories of all the hundred and one personal incidents of the fighting that must have occurred in the ding-dong days of old. Imagine the adventure that could be contained in a book truly describing the fighting incidents of Trafalgar! What an insight it would give us into the character and courage of the men who served Nelson. So this book of the Fighting at Jutland is an endeavour to fill a like gap for the one fleet action of the War of 1914-18. In it all discussion of tactics and of strategy, of whether we won the battle or whether the Germans did, has been omitted, for it has been felt that the desire of all will be, not so much to read of the technicalities of the battle as of the personal experiences of the men who fought. In a personal narrative one can write many impressions of battle incidents and can refer to many details that would be out of place in official reports, so that one hopes this book will form a valuable supplement to the official histories of the action, and at the same time be of live interest to the general public as showing the experiences that men go through in modern Naval fighting. The accuracy of times and of squadron positions or movements is not guaranteed, but is indeed in some instances sure to be at fault, for it is well known that personal records of naval battles unchecked by ships logs, official reports, etc., are frequently inaccurate in these detail.
