The German Navy was outnumbered and outgunned, and so sought to avoid fleet actions and concentrate on commerce raiding across the globe. If they could sink the lighter armed oilers, troop ships, and merchant vessels, they could force the British to the sue for peace as their sea-borne commerce dried up. However, the ships and submarines could not always distinguish between British targets and those of neutrals; the German Navy gained a reputation for ruthlessness in interpreting the rules of war. There was much indignation from the British for acts of Teutonic 'Beastliness' on the waves and hence this book detailing the cases of German misconduct and brutality. The Author, although he wrote under a pseudonym, was clearly a man of much naval experience and describes the engagements with great detail and passion. 606 $aSubmarine warfare$7Generated by AI 606 $aSubmarines (Ships)$zGermany$7Generated by AI 615 0$aSubmarine warfare 615 0$aSubmarines (Ships) 700 $aAjax$01074051 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910163169603321 996 $aThe German Pirate; His Methods And Record$92571089 997 $aUNINA
