The Battle of the River Plate
A fierce battle to keep the Atlantic convoy routes open and the British Isles supplied commenced in the early stages of WWII. It was a risky move to leave German seas soon before war was declared. They were supplied by axis cargo ships or tankers and could strike anywhere and anyplace. Three Royal Navy cruisers with only 6 and 8 inch guns bravely took on this strong 'pocket battleship' armed with 11 inch guns, in this account of one such ship, the Admiral Graf Spee.
