Description
At Scapa Flow on 21 June 1919, one of the most formidable naval fleets ever built was scuttled by its own officers and men. But few know that the order came because of a misleading report in a British newspaper; that the Royal Navy guessed the intention but could do nothing to thwart it; that the sinking produced the last casualties of the war; and that fragments of the Kaiser's fleet are probably on the moon. This new edition contains previously unused German archive material, eye-witness accounts and survivors’ recollections.
