From Imperial Splendour to Internment

Wolz, N: 2015 Seaforth UK, hardcover with dust jacket, 268 pages, illustrated. From Imperial Splendour to Internment traces how the once formidable Imperial German Navy, largely inactive at sea apart from Jutland, slid into frustration, collapsing morale, mutiny and eventual internment at Scapa Flow, shaping the naval and political upheavals that helped pave the way for the Third Reich. Drawing on new research and personal accounts, Wolz analyses the psychological impact of inaction and humiliation on officers and ratings, showing how a fleet built for glory became a symbol of national shame and revolutionary ferment.
