The German Battle Cruisers Derflinger, Seydlitz And Moltke, And The Battleship Blucher, The North Sea To Shell English Seaside Resorts.


The German Battle Cruisers Derflinger, Seydlitz And Moltke, And The Battleship Blucher, The North Sea To Shell English Seaside Resorts.

On the early morning of Sunday, January 24th 1915, a powerful German force of battle cruisers, light cruisers and destroyers came pelting across the Dogger Bank bent on shelling English seaside resorts. There was the newly completed Derfflinger, carrying eight 12-inch guns on her 28,000 tons; the Seydlitz and Moltke, armed with ten 11-inch apiece; and the Blucher a sort of semi-Dreadnought with the fine sounding armament of twelve 8.2-inch guns. The light cruisers and destroyers were sent on ahead so as to give timely warning of any danger.

SMS Derfflinger By Randall Wilson 		Down by the bows, the battered Seydlitz returns to the Jade after being heavily involved in the gun line action at Jutland.

SMS Seydlitz 1916 by Randall Wilson 		Designed by the great Ernst Heinkel, the diminutive D.1 was an essential stop-gap that provided the Austro-Hungarian pilots with a front line fighter until they were able to re-equip with Albatros scouts in the Summer of 1917. This little aircraft performed well and was generally held in high regard by its pilots, although it did have some shortcomings, namely that forward vision was extremely limited and the Schwarzloses gun was completely concealed in the overwing pod that made it inaccessible in the air. Most unusual of all was its interplane strut arrangement, designed to reduce drag, which gave it the nicknames Starstrutter or Spider. These examples are shown passing above the German cruiser Derfflinger.
