I hope you all enjoyed this extended look at Germany's first real attempt at a battlecruiser! I might have to start cutting the length of these down because they are getting way too long for me to handle!
irony is, I am watching cause 40 minutes might tell me something I don't know & I just can't get enough on Battlecruisers no matter what nation. Thx for your work. Signed, a newer subscriber & long long time Navy nut.
Do another long 1 maybe on how Japan grew up so fast, IOW, how in heck did they go from buying from the British to building their own decent ships so quickly! I'd be watching TBS.
Appreciate you subscribing! As for the length, it’s very hard to manage a video of that length, especially in the future as I get back to my studies, and I don’t feel like the quality of the video is as good as some of the shorter ones, in terms of production.
You do a good job. I have looked and read many accounts of Jutland. Leaving blast doors open, poor gunnery from some ships, shells failing to explode, dreadful signalling and other factors means we were lucky in bottling up the Germans for the rest of the war. It's so easy to judge after the event, but the battle of Jutland was as primitive in technology as Trafalgar, just bigger bullets.
The photo from min 3:48 shows the Turkish battle cruiser "Yavuz", the ex. "S.M.S. Goeben", flagship of Admiral Souchon in WW1, a ship of the "Moltke class", successor of the "S.M.S. Von der Tann". BTW.😉
Thanks, I am aware. Unfortunately, there aren’t a ton of photos of Von Der Tann (at least that I have access to), so there are some photos that I chose to throw in. I would find it annoying if I put it up explaining each picture. Appreciate the comment!
@@ImportantNavalHistory Thank you for your reply!😊 The ships are very similar in appearance, except that the successors are more powerful. But very nice video, thank you very much!👍
Another excellent piece on a ship I knew little about, going in to this. Any chance of a Royal Australian Navy ship from the past, somewhere in the future? We've had some belters in both World Wars. The Scrap Iron Flotilla would be my all time favourite RAN story. Thanks for being who you are and doing what you do. From a proud Aussie enthusiast.
Poor Blucher which was replacing the repaired VDT at the battle of Dogger Bank and paid it with her life. I always wondering why they don't replace her 8 twin 8 inch with 6 twin 11 inch turrets? I think blucher hull was similar to VDT, albeit the engine little less power.
Bluecher her namesake was a historic figure, which had his connection to my home town of Słupsk in Pomerania. One of the victors at Waterloo, he and his cavalry. ♍
Can you verify your source there are two cities with close names that are close to each other Gdańsk and Gdynia. The reason I am asking is at the time of the event Gdynia was a small fishing village with pretty much no harbour while Gdańsk known as Danzig was a big port City.
If you’re talking about the time she was conducting operations in the Baltic in 1915 and went for coal replenishment, she did go closer to Gdynia in the bay, as that’s where the coal ship was. Sorry, for any confusion. If I do another video on German battlecruisers I’ll be sure to clarify they replenished in the bay!
@@ImportantNavalHistory thanks for the response. I apologize if I came across strong English is not my first language and due to similarities of the names it is plausible to mix the Polish names for the cities especially that Gdynia built up so much not long after WWI. Thanks again, I really enjoyed your video. Sorry if I came across as an a-hole.
@@janwojtyna3392 Oh you're perfectly fine! I have been guilty of the error of mixing up Gdynia and Gdansk in the past. So, it's really one that I try to get correct. Always happy to respond to comments and you guys always are always double checking me, which I do appreciate! Thanks for watching!

How long is long? Since Airfix's model of Bismarck was considered an accurate & detailed representation. lol

Splendid in every way. The idea of a fifty foot boot flying through the air was particularly moving. Great doco. Thank you Admiral 😁👍🏽
great selection of historical pictures combined with quality artwork, amazing thx.
Excellent History of the differences between UK and German battle cruisers!
🍻
Oh my, colorized pic at 20:00 amazingly well done. Pretty sure no one had color till WW2, love to know where this pic came from.
Interesting story for the old girl!

brilliant, educational and entertaining! But the theme (even at the end) makes it beyond great and a bargain at twice the price!

I’ve done HMAS Australia (the battlecruiser), I think an interesting video would be discussing Australia’s rather large post war navy!
Tough Old Boot. 👍🏻🏴
