German Navy Admits Early War Strategy Near Base

My Thoughts and Actions by Gen Eric Von Ludendorff
A long excerpted defense of German naval policy during World War I. The author argues England avoided battle at Skagerack while pursuing a blockade and mine warfare, defends U-boat campaigns, and condemns Britain's war zone and blockade as violations of international law. It discusses Baltic sea control, the Dogger Bank action, and criticisms of Allied actions and neutrality. The piece frames Ludendorff’s strategic views on submarine warfare and hunger blockade.
