Battle of Jutland
"Skaggerakschlacht"
I just watched the BBC production about Scapa Flow and the Battle of Jutland, narrated by David Hayward. 2016 will be the 100th anniversary so I expect we will see a bit more attention over the coming months.
I do not recollect learning anything about this in school in the 1950s and 1960s.
Nor about the Great Scuttling of the German Fleet in Scapa Flow on Midsummer's Day 1919.
On a brighter note we have now lived at peace in Europe for 70 years. Long may that continue.
