Hi there and welcome back to Jaxom Talks, the channel where we dive deep into the fascinating world of military history!
Today, we’re casting off and sailing straight into the story of one of the most unique and controversial class of warships ever built: the German pocket battleship the Admiral Graf Spee.
Constructed in defiance of post-WWI treaty restrictions, her innovative design combining the firepower of a battleship with the speed of a cruiser made her the ultimate commerce raider.
Join us as we explore the ingenuity and compromises that went into her building, trace her early career in the pre-war Kriegsmarine, and set the stage for the dramatic, world-shaking events that led to her fiery end in the South Atlantic at the Battle of the River Plate.
