Very interesting compilation of the events of Scypa Flow in both parts of the video. We should guard the testimony like a treasure, because today there are no more people who have experienced it. Thanks for uploading.
Really enjoyed and thank you for uploading this historically accurate and comprehensively detailed video I especially enjoyed the score, which seems to be a piano/organ/?mellotron? transcription of a theme from R. Strauss's Heldenleben. Any idea if it's available in any format, anywhere? I don't think the Nicky Ash listed in the credits is the South African singer; she's too young for a video from 1986. Thanks again!
Thanks for uploading this, great to see it again! I wondered if you have the last part of the programme, which I couldn't see here, and if I remember correctly showed some great underwater footage of the wrecks?
Steve, thanks for your comment. I will have a look and see if the tape includes the last few minutes and upload again. This might take a while. If you subscribe it will come up in your UA-cam mailbox.
Actually, Japan sent 14 destroyers and a flagship cruiser to assist British ships in the Mediterranean Sea. So they did show up to "welcome" the surrendered German fleet in the Firth of Forth before moving the fleet to Scapa Flow.
Dirty? If someone behaved dirty, it was the war winnwers, even though they weren't actually winners. No, that was the just punishment for the Entente's insatiable greed to plundering Germany with impunity after WW I. After the revolution, the Allies shamelessly exploited the weakness of young German democracy to enrich themselves, since they no longer had to fear resistance. Admiral Beatty was a snooty asshole without honor when he ordered the German flag to be taken off at sunset and not hoisted again. However, he received his sentence on June 21, 1919 at 11 a.m. No prey, no satisfaction, just 500,000 tons of scrap metal under water. The Germans showed Beatty and the Entente the middle finger when they were happy about their prey without having to pay anything for it. Postum a triple hurray for Admiral Ludwig von Reuter. This man has honor, but not the snooty Beatty, who takes the last honor from the vanquished.
@callyharley WW I was a big shit that all the rulers and governments of Europe were guilty of, sending their peoples to death against each other just to be more powerful than the other. The reasons for this war were very different from those that are still told to children in school today. It was about world power, colonies and the elimination of economic competitor. For this reason there was also a revolution in Germany because the people no longer wanted to die for this madness and therefore they chased their emperor and the aristocratic government to hell. But the Entente didn't have better things to do took advantage of this revolution and the resulting weakening of the German army to claim victory for themselves and to blame the losers. The greatest stupidity, however, was the Versailles Treaty and the total plundering of Germany, which meant that young democracy had little chance of surviving. It was insane to humiliate 80 million Germans and 8 million Austrians and to pillage them to the bare skin, to take away parts of the country, the colonies, the fleet and to burden them with debts that were absolutely not payable. They should have known that this mass of people won't be ready forever to be oppressed. The consequences then came in 1933 with the dictatorship and in 1939 with the second catastrophe. They could have avoided it. The USA warned of this, but UK and France were too greedy, they wanted everything.
I cant imagine Channel 4 making such a programme today.
You are right. We had programmes like Equinox and, Horizon, Now we have Naked Attraction and I'm a Celebrity. So depressing.

Thanks very much, that would be great if you've got those last few minutes. I've subscribed and will keep a look out!
These first-hand accounts are priceless. Does anyone know when this documentary was made?
Hi. Made in 1986. The date is in Roman Numerals at the very end of the credits.
@@wattsupmike7593 Sweet!! Thanks

@@folkestender2025 I always thought of Scapa Flow as a lovely act of defiance!
US never should have gotten involved - how is that for a thesis?
