Blockade: How the 10th Cruiser Squadron won the war
During the First World War the 10th Cruiser Squadron operated the Northern Patrol, checking trade routes to Germany. This talk looks at the Allied Blockade of 1914-19 and tells how the Allies defeated Germany by economic warfare. The ultimate weapon in this was the 10th Cruiser Squadron.
By time of the Armistice, the German nation was falling apart and central Europe was facing the worst famine since the 17th century. Then came the worst atrocity committed by the allies in the war; it was quietly overlooked in the official histories that followed.
