Descrizione dell’articolo da parte del venditore

Paperback. On 13 December 1939, the South Atlantic witnessed the Royal Navy's first major clash of World War II at the Battle of the River Plate. The German heavy cruiser Admiral Graf Spee, commanded by Captain Hans Langsdorff, engaged a British squadron under Commodore Henry Harwood-HMS Exeter, Ajax, and HMNZS Achilles. Having begun commerce raiding in September, Graf Spee was intercepted off the Rio de la Plata.Exeter was heavily damaged and forced to withdraw; Ajax and Achilles shadowed the crippled German ship until she entered neutral Montevideo. Believing overwhelming British forces lay in wait, Langsdorff scuttled Graf Spee on 17 December and subsequently took his own life.This engagement highlighted the deadly stakes of naval warfare, where hundreds of Royal Navy ships were lost or damaged to enemy action, from U-boats to aircraft and mines, across the globe. Pamphlet recounting the Battle of the River Plate through official despatches of Rear-Admiral Harwood and captains of HMS Ajax, Achilles and Exeter. Damaged by British cruisers, the raider Admiral Graf Spee was scuttled in Dec 1939. This item is printed on demand.
