German Officer's Vivid Memories of Jutland, by Commander Paschen | 31 May - 1 June 1916 | Episode 119
Published on 31 May 1916
With a view to including a German account of the battle of Jutland, we publish the narrative of Commander Paschen who was aboard the Lützow, Admiral von Hipper's flagship, when she was sent to the bottom.
Commander Paschen saw the Lion, Beatty's flagship, hit, the Invincible sunk and the Queen Mary blow up. His vivid story disproves the popular idea that the executive officer necessarily sees but little of a great naval action.
