Показать описание
The Battle of Dogger Bank was a naval battle fought near the Dogger Bank in the North Sea on 24 January 1915, during the First World War, between squadrons of the British Grand Fleet and the German High Seas Fleet.

Decoded radio intercepts had given the British advance knowledge that a German raiding squadron was heading for Dogger Bank, so they dispatched their own naval forces to intercept it. The British found the Germans at the expected time and place; surprised, the smaller and slower German squadron fled for home. During a stern chase lasting several hours, the British slowly caught up with the Germans and engaged them with long-range gunfire. The British disabled Blücher, the rear German ship, but the Germans put the British flagship HMS Lion out of action with heavy damage. Due to a signalling mixup, the remaining British ships broke off pursuit of the fleeing enemy force to sink Blücher. By the time this had been done, the German squadron had escaped; all the remaining German vessels returned safely to harbour, though some had heavy damage requiring extended repairs.

My great grandfather was in both Dogger Bank and Jutland. He was in the bowels of the ship in the engine room, Stoker 1st class.
I know he was on H.M.S. Tiger but I'm not sure if he was on her in both battles.
He lived through the war.
It's a shame the makers of this video needed a robot voice, it doesn't work and has no emotion.
May all those (minus the Nazis) that took part in the war, from the people who grew food to the ones who gave their lives rest in peace.
We shall remember them.

The pronunciation of SMS Blücher is ridiculously wrong.

OH COME ON! . . . . YOU DID ALL THAT WORK AND THEN USED A ROBOT THAT CAN'T PRONOUNCE "BLUCHER"?

Somebody needs a kick in the pants for screwing this project up.

Duh ... THB get the pronounciation of names of German ships together. It's horrible.
