Today we have Part 2 of our special episode on the Battle of Jutland because, on this day in history in 1916, the German and British battlefleets met in the largest naval battle of the First World War and one of the largest in history involving 250 ships and 100,000 men. Part 1 outlined the events and included a fantastic interview with Dr Stephan Huck, head of the excellent German Naval Museum in Wilhelmshaven. Today we are exploring in more detail the German perspective with a number of eyewitness German accounts of the battle. The accounts are read both in English and their original German. Part 3 will follow soon and will introduce you to a host of British eyewitness accounts.
