Pat and Matt have a deep interest in World War One, and while they have got you down into the trenches and high above them, they have only brushed the war at sea when talking about the tragic sinking of the Lusitania. That all ends now as the guys take on the largest naval engagement of the war, the Battle of Jutland!To help the work through this clash of navies, Pat and Matt are joined by Justin Voithofer, an up and coming historian and veteran with a real passion for naval history. He delves into the contending navies, the British Grand Fleet and Germany's High Seas Fleet, their origins and use during the Great War. Justin also breaksdown the results of the battle, why both sides claimed victory and his thoughts on who actually won. It's thunder on the high seas and we hope you can join us!The History Things Podcast is brought to you by History Things with Pat & Matt Borders Books!Follow the guys on social media by searching for @TheHistoryThingsPodcast! - Facebook.com/thehistorythingspodcast- instagram.com/thehistorythingspodcast- YouTube.com/thehistorythingspodcast

The Battle of Jutland was the shuddering earthquake that released the seismic tension of the Anglo-German naval arms race of the last decade. What was at stake was the blockade and starvation of the vanquished. The German High Seas Fleet aimed to destroy a large enough part of the British Grand Fleet to allow it to break out to the Atlantic where it would effectively blockade the commerce and supplies Britain utterly relied on to survive, let alone fight. If that happened, Britain would be forced into submission. No wonder then that Winston Churchill said of the commander of the British Grand Fleet, Admiral Jellicoe: “He is the only man on either side who could have lost the war in an afternoon.” Churchill was right. This one battle, more than any other, would decide the outcome of World War One, and with it the likelihood of a World War Two. The future of the world rested on Jellicoe’s shoulders.   Subscribe to us here on your favourite podcast channel, follow us on Instagram and Facebook @bitesizebattles, and please leave us a good review!

On this episode of Battles & Banter, Avery is joined by Justin Voithofer and Patrick McGuire of "The History Things Podcast" to hit the high seas for the first naval battle of this show. Avery, Pat & Justin talk the Battle of Jutland, fought between the British Grand Fleet and the German High Seas Fleet in the North Sea, just off the coast of the Jutland Peninsula of Denmark. The guys discuss the plans of both sides, as well as the effect that heavy dreadnoughts had on not just World War I, but naval warfare going forward as well. So man your battle stations and **INSERT NAVAL JARGON HERE** for one heck of an episode! Enjoy!

The Battle of Jutland was the largest naval battle of the First World War and saw the British Grand Fleet take on the German High Seas Fleet in the icy waters of the North Sea in May 1916. In this episode, Peter and Gary discuss the history and legacy of this turning point of World War One, and try to settle the question once and for all - who won the Battle of Jutland?

Dan Snow hears accounts of those who witnessed the restlessness, disorder and eventual mutiny of the sailors of the German High Seas Fleet in early November 1918, and recollections of one of the most remarkable sights in British Naval history, 10 days after the Armistice. The German Fleet, as a condition of the Armistice, surrendered to the Allies, and arrived in the Firth of Forth on the 21st. Members of the British Grand Fleet, some privileged to be above deck, some peeking through port holes, remembered a stunning sight as both fleets met off the coast of Scotland, against the backdrop of a large, red setting sun. Presented by Dan Snow Produced by Megan Jones for BBC Wales

Most accounts about the naval battles of the First World War focus upon the stalemate between the British Grand Fleet and the German High Seas Fleet, or the German raiders who attempted to disrupt Allied commerce. In Securing the Narrow Sea: The Dover Patrol 1914-1918 (Seaforth Publishing, 2017; distributed in the US by Naval Institute Press), Steve Dunn focuses on the often overlooked service of the British naval forces stationed in the English Channel during the conflict. The eclectic collection of destroyers, converted yachts, and requisitioned trawlers that comprised the patrol made for a considerable contrast with the dreadnoughts at Scapa Flow, yet, as Dunn demonstrates, they played a vital role in securing the Channel for the safe transport of British troops to France and in opposing the transit of German U-boats to their stations. In describing the admirals who commanded the station over the course of the war, the lives of the men who served aboard the ships, and the various engagements which they fought against their German opponents, he explains the unglamorous yet frequently dangerous contribution the patrol made to Britain’s victory over Germany in 1918, one that was subsequently glossed over in the postwar era.

Lough Swilly provided shelter for the entire British Grand Fleet in autumn 1914. Kite balloons were used to spot German submarines and artillery guarded the mouth of the lough.
