| Text for the above items : |
The Battle of the River Plate by Randall Wilson. Under attack from HMS Ajax, HMS Exeter and HMS Achilles, the German Pocket battleship Graf Spee is shown at speed returning salvos, December 1939. |
Admiral Graf Spee enters Montevideo by Ivan Berryman. Showing visible signs of her tangle with British cruisers at the Battle of the River Plate, the German pocket battleship Graf Spee slips into the neutral waters of the Montevideo roadstead accompanied by the Uruguayan gunboat Rio Negro for light repairs. (Damage can be seen on the hull and behind the Conning tower ) . This was to be the last haven for the Graf Spee which was later scuttled at the harbour mouth, her commander Kapitan zur See Langsdorff believing a large British fleet to be waiting for attempted escape into the South Atlantic. |

The Graf Spee by Simon Atack The pocket-battleship Graf Spee catches the flood tide, making speed through a choppy cross-current as she leaves the German naval port of Wilhelmshaven for final trials a few weeks before the outbreak of war on 3rd September, 1939. Under her Captain, Hans Langsdorf, she will soon be on station in the South Atlantic in readiness for action against merchant shipping, vital to the survival of island Britain. |
