Name this battle. > Skagerrak As it happens, when Mark posted the quiz, I was right in the section that describes the battle in my the reading of the book I mentioned, The book is by a Swedish author and he refers to the battle as Skagerrak after the body of water where the battle took place. It was not until after posting the answers I read the final paragraphs of the section, and there he mentions that the battle is known as Jutland in the UK. >> then Lord of the Admiralty, described the admiral who allowed >> the Germans to escape as as "the only man on either side who >> could lose the war in an afternoon." Which admiral? The author's presents this line - which he presents in the opening in the section about the battle - as a description of the vital importance of keeping the German fleet in check. >> the hundreds of thousands, and ended with a French victory. >> It is named after the town in northeast France whose nearby >> hills hosted the fighting. My impression from the book is that the battle rather was a draw, and both Falkenhayn and Joffre were replaced as a result. But then again, it's like the return game in a football game where one team won with 1-0 on their home ground and now can qualify even if they lose with 1-2. Falkenhayn's idea was not to take Verdun, but only exhaust the French troops and this certainly failed. -- Erland Sommarskog, Stockholm, esquel@sommarskog.se |
