Guten Abend meine Herren,

meinem amerikanischen Freund Vince wird für die folgenden Informationen über einige Marine Aktion im Ersten Weltkrieg gekämpft suchen. Die Englisch Literatur ist nicht genug. Ich frage mich, wenn auf der anderen Seite des Hügels, ist es nicht möglich, diese Auseinandersetzungen zu rekonstruieren?
Danke für die Hilfe

I'm hoping that members of the group can help me
fill in some OoB holes, specifically in a few North Sea destroyer actions that
took place in 1916 and 1917.

The following lists the actions I'm trying to get information on. It also
shows the sources consulted. If anyone can fill in the holes, I would be
grateful.
Thanks,

Vince

Sonst noch was? Ich steckte eine Kopie meiner "Noi e loro" (Wir gegen sie), noch verkauft werden, vom Historischen italienischen Marine im Jahr 2016 in der Adria veröffentlicht und an den Ersten Weltkrieg.
