German Belittles American Efforts In War
Vice Admiral von Capelle in the Reichstag dismisses American aid as limited in the first year of World War I. He argues U.S. troop and airplane contributions were small and that even with a future large force, freight space and shipyards are the key. He says American shipping plans aim to supplant England after the war, not aid current efforts. He notes U.S. wartime economy faces rationing and asserts German U-boat warfare remains effective despite Allied countermeasures.
