The Battle of the River Plate reconsidered. On 13th December 1939, the German "pocket battleship" "Admiral Graf Spee" confronted Royal Navy warships in the South Atlantic. Although it was a well-matched duel, why did Kapitan Hans Lansdorff disobey his orders and engage the British force? Why, then, did he make for Uruguay, scuttle his ship and commit suicide, when German-friendly Argentina was only a few kilometres away?
