It’s 9pm on May 31st 1916, and the Battle of Jutland has raged for the last six hours. With more than 200 ships involved, it has been the largest clash between fleets of battleships in history. As the light now begins to fail and darkness sets in, both sides stumble back towards each other, struggling to tell friend from foe, and heading towards one of the most chaotic engagements in naval history.

  1. Superb documentary. but who won the battle of jutland ?The british did and it is best summarised by an american journalist who said " the german fleet has assaulted its gaoler but is still in gaol"!
