WFA, Thanks very much for this talk from Keith. Thank you also for remembering and commemorating this great human tragedy of war. Very interesting pictures, momentos and articles of the time.
A tragedy triggered by the illegal food blockade by Britain that caused the death of hundreds of thousands of people. And wasn't lifted til 1919. #unpunished allied war crimes
Thanks Keith & Greetings from Thailand. Don't know if you will remember me but we use to share a few pints of real ale in the Hole in the Wall and even sometimes talked about history and shared a love of the lake district amongst other things. Enjoyed your presentation. Chris
Tirpitz had his orders but could see no strategic gain for the operation by his ships. It was, however, a gain for the Germans, because, although the British knew the ships were out, they knew not where. The Grand Fleet north of the Dogger bank missed the German ships that went home unopposed, apart from a skirmish between the destroyers of both sides.
Great upload, thanks for sharing your knowledge.

@Spencer Noah And your point is? You little troll!

I very much enjoyed that. Thank you.
They must have foreseen The Chuckle Bros playing there!
They were firing at Scarborough Castle, a legitimate military target.
