MILITARY GENERAL Naval World War I

In late 1917, the Russians despite the revolution, were still willing to continue the war against Germany. This is an account of Operation Albion, the highly successful seaborne operation launched by the Germans to change their minds. The Baltic Islands were pivotal to the defence of the Finnish Gulf and St. Petersburg, so their capture was essential for any campiagn towards the Russian capital. Only after the fall of the Islands did Russia begin peace negotiations (freeing nearly half a million German soldiers for the Kaiser’s last gamble on the Western Front). This then was a campaign of great significance for the war on both Eastern and Western Fronts. A large part of the High Sea Fleet took part in the invasion of the Baltic islands, including the most modern dreadnought battleships. This book shatters the myth that the Imperial German Navy spent the last two years of the war cowering in port. 40 b/w photos
