Captain Langsdorff was a commander of the old school. A man of honor who valued the lives of his crew and felt that his duty required him to share the fate of his ship. He should be remembered!
Your video isn't offensive, it's just a bit irritating. However, I must commend you for pointing out the critical damage in regard to the fuel polishing system, which would have prevented the Graf Spee from making it back to a European base. The other thing was the ammunition expended during the battle. Something like 80% of the 11-inch ammo had been expended, even though the Exeter had been severely damaged, and neither Ajax nor Achilles were in any shape to continue the fight, the British managed to convince the Germans that there was an overwhelming force weighting for them. Add to that Hitler telling then not to let the ship be interned, all led to the scuttling of the Spee.

You should watch the film Battle of the River Plate, 2 HMS cruisers and 1 HMNZS took it apart.

Untold if you have never bothered to pick up a book on the subject
The entire content of the video discussion was created by AI. But I believe that you definitely know more

@@jsharpe45 Thanks bro
I hate AI, can't even pronounce the ships name correctly.
Sorry if my video offends you
Bismarck only managed to sink HMS Hood and Tirpitz didnt do too much as it was sunk by the RAF although the RN dispute this as she didnt totally sink.
OK. I see that you know more than official history
@@historytimechannel no because the decks weren't underwater the RN dispute it was sunk by the RAF it's common knowledge
@@MichaelCampin ok 👍
Very poor AI talking in this one.
