Graf Spee Raider Pictures Show Decks of Terror at Sea
Nazi raider Graf Spee roamed the southern seas preying on Allied shipping as British and French gunboats chased. Photographs by a Graf Spee crew member recount four merchantmen sunk by its guns and torpedoes. The battleship was scuttled near Montevideo after a running fight, its commander Captain Langsdorff interred in Buenos Aires.
