On December 13th, 1939, the German cruiser Admiral Graf Spee arrived at the estuary of the River Plate with the aim of hunting down British merchant ships. However, these plans were doomed to fail as the ship became the target of a British squadron under the command of Commodore Henry Harwood. The lone German ship was better armed and armored than any of the British cruisers, but the squadron had the advantage of numbers: 3 vs 1. Knowing that they would be badly damaged, the British forces, still commenced their attack. Who would win and why did the Germans end up scuttling the Graf Spee?

Fun Fact: Commodore Harwood in the 1930's had taught at the Naval College in Britain and his specialty was on the best ways to take on a Pocket Battleship like the Graf Spee. So he was the perfect person to take on the German ship.
Thats probably why he got the posting. Gonna delve into the deepweb archives and find out.

The animations of the shell flying and coming so close to each other is on whole another level!
I thought that was a great way to show the relative sizes without resorting to some type of statistics screen. The juxtaposition of the pistol shot with the explosions of the scuttling charges was great way of animating that part of what happened without pissing off yt.
@@whyjnot420 I was just thinking about it...the gunshot signified the simultaneous demise of the Spee and Langford...it is like the Spee was so close to him that its downfall is what killed Langford internally....such a nice addition

Hello Yarnhub. I am a retired Royal Canadian navy Petty Officer. I had the chance to visit Montevideo in 1995 and 1997 during OP Unitas. I knew the story of the GRAF SPEE and got to see the plaque atop the mast. What a sight !!!
the Achilles ended up playing herself in the movie "battle of river plate" in the 50s
As did HMS CUMBERLAND, though at the time of the film she had no guns, thus looking quite toothless as the support for Harwood's squadron.
Langsdorff was a true gentleman. He rescued, treated according to int'l rules, and transferred every enemy merchantman was responsible for.
Let's not kid ourselves that failing to go to murderous extremes made serving the Nazi state a noble endeavour. It was not. It is ironic that Langsdorff's reputation derives mostly from a British film.
@@realhorrorshow8547 the navy was the one branch that resisted the vast majority of the nazi bullshit.
many scources claim that the reichsmarine was not as devout as the rest of the nazi party. Still, Langsdorff chose to save as many of his men as he could be refusing battle, makes him a good captain in my opinion
@@realhorrorshow8547es waren nicht alle so menschenfreunde wie der brische bommber harris oder stalin !
@@realhorrorshow8547I have a friend who was in the US military in occupied Germany after the war. He often had former officers of the REGULAR German military and their families to dinner. He wouldn't let an SS member in the door. He considered one a professional, the other a thug.
They even named a street in Ajax in honor of Langsdorf, but renamed it only few years ago. What a shame, he gaves his live and spared the ones of his and the enemy ships. A true hero
This video it felt like i was watching an epic boss fight, but now for real the seriousness in the face/voice of the sailers and capitans rly maked me feeled like the battle was happening live action right in the front of my very eyes, but is sad that in the end the capitan had to abandon Graf Spee and that in the end he went down with his shit a few day later. I am not jokeing the Yarnhub videos are becomening more and more like movie clips, great job to the YarnHub team.
Damn, that must have been a very intense shit...
@@Mika-ph6ku😂
@@Mika-ph6kuYES THAT HAD TO BE A BIG ONE 😂😂😂😂
Excellent quality video Langsdorff fought a clean war according to thr rules of the sea and tried to cause as little death amongst his captured ships as he could. He was under order to avoid battle with hostile warships and only entered battle with Harwood because he misidentified the enemy as a light cruiser and two destroyers rather than a small heavy cruiser and two light cruisers.
The German commentary really makes this video alive
Gut gemacht!!!
Finde ich auch gut gelungen!
“Mad lad fireing a massive Canon”
The animation quality at this point is nearly rivaling some big Hollywood blockbusters. Give it another year and we will not be able to tell if it is animation or you decided to hire real actors. And your decisions to dub the German speakers with real German makes it only all the more immersed realistic. Great work Yarnhub. I salute you to your amazing work and all the dedication you all put into these amazing videos.
You make the greatest real life stories. I’m watching them everyday. And you must never change the narrator. His voice is perfect at telling the story.
This is one of my favorite WW2 Naval stories/battles. I first learned of the ‘Battle of the River plate’ in the early 80’s when I was 10 years old. The story of this battle, and the subsequent going’s-on in Uruguay, have been the subject of study for me, in the decades since. I feel like you really did this story true justice! Thank you for bringing it to life for all of us! I always saw Captain Langsdorff as a bit of a tragic figure, caught between his duty, and his honor.
I'm from Montevideo, Uruguay and actual stupid president wanted to convert the Graf Spee eagle into a "peace pigeon", of course him and a designed famous sculptor in charge of doing it got critized and had to decline their plans -_-
Supposedly a primary reason Langsdorff accepted battle with Harwoods' force was that he mis-identified the light cruisers as destroyers and when he realized his mistake it was too late to disengage.
Are light cruisers more dangerous than destroyers?
@@2003AudiS3yes.
Speed helps against larger ships and Torpedos affect weight differently.
@2003AudiS3 In this case yes. In general British destroyers were armed with 4 to 6 4.7" guns while the Ajax and Achilles were armed with 4 double turrets of 6" guns, which would still not generally be ship killers against Graf Spee they would do far more damage against her superstructure, etc than destroyers weapons. Also the cruisers had torpedoes just as destroyers. An additional important consideration was that the light cruisers could absorb far more of the Spees punishment and still be effective than smaller and lightly constructed and protected destroyers.
Langsdorf also seemed to think that Hardwoods bold rush was to keep him off a convoy over the horizon and also to drive him onto the 15 inch guns of a British battleship or battlecruiser that might be coming up from his rear.
From a 2D animation to a full 3d animation beyond the graphics of a brand new game, is astonishing. I am very impressed. You deserve it.
Thank you very much !

No wonder that WWII was home to the greatest generation, everyone who served and everyone who lived in Europe during WWII, no matter what side they were on, had to go through Hell and back to even have a chance of survival. The courage of these men and women are beyond words.
I look back at history, and the "keep a stiff upper lip" attitude of Londoners during the bombings and V2 rocket attacks, and then I look at the current generation, who wants to fight over what bathroom to use, and their safe spaces, and I just want to cry. Western civilization truly seems to be going the way of Rome. "Hard men make good times, good times make soft men, soft men make hard times:". I've seen this quote dozens of times in the last few years, not sure of the origin, but it seems to be more and more true every day.
I live in bahía blanca city at the south of buenos Aires state and here was a restaurant owned and managed by a graf spee sailor with a cool painting of the ship in the outside wall.

Admiral Graf Spee was a Deutschland-class "Panzerschiff", nicknamed a "pocket battleship" by the British, which served with the Kriegsmarine of Nazi Germany during World War II. The vessel was named after World War I Admiral Maximilian von Spee, commander of the East Asia Squadron who fought the battles of Coronel and the Falkland Islands, where he was killed in action. She was laid down at the Reichsmarinewerft shipyard in Wilhelmshaven in October 1932 and completed by January 1936. The ship was nominally under the 10,000 long tons limitation on warship size imposed by the Treaty of Versailles, though with a full load displacement of 16,020 long tons, she significantly exceeded it. Armed with six 28 cm guns in two triple gun turrets, Admiral Graf Spee and her sisters were designed to outgun any cruiser fast enough to catch them. Their top speed of 28 knots left only a few capital ships in the Anglo-French navies fast enough and powerful enough to sink them. The ship conducted five non-intervention patrols during the Spanish Civil War in 1936-1938 and participated in the Coronation Review of King George VI in May 1937. Admiral Graf Spee was deployed to the South Atlantic in the weeks before the outbreak of World War II, to be positioned in merchant sea lanes once war was declared. Between September and December 1939, the warship sank nine vessels totaling 50,089 gross register tons, before being confronted by three British cruisers at the Battle of the River Plate on 13 December. Admiral Graf Spee inflicted heavy damage on the British ships, but she too was damaged and was forced to put into port at Montevideo, Uruguay. Convinced by false reports of superior British naval forces gathering, Hans Langsdorff, commander of the ship, ordered the vessel to be scuttled. The ship was partially broken up in situ, though part of the ship remained visible above the surface of the water for years.
I feel like all Exeters' crews should be awarded, even for the lowest award available back then. To keep on charging with a burning ship with only 1 gun operational and no communication line is an incredible feat in itself. I also can't help but to pity Captain Langsdorff, dude doesn't deserve the blame with how little of an option he got. Even if the British reinforcement is a decoy, he wouldn't know this and scuttling was possibly his best option anyway.
He was doomed either way. The fuel purification failure meant the ship couldn’t flee with or without British reinforcements. His suicide was likely expected in the form of going down with the ship. His survival was likely viewed as cowardice by German High command, so his death was the only thing that’d even partially satisfy them.
I read about this when I was in the imperial war museum once because they had a section about spies in war and this story was included
There´s an importan lack of details in this, my favorite naval battle of all. First of all, Cptn. Hans Langsdorff banner "Stop Wireless of we open Fire". That´s very important because those who disobey this order where later congratulate by Langsdorff iteself. Secondly, Cptn Langsdorff and Cptn. Stubbs had a very honorably and almost friendly relation during imprisionment of Stubbs aboard the Graff Spee. The dead count it´s important for both sides. The Exceter ended up as a wreck and was in no condition to another, even little skirmish. The damages on Ajax where important too. There´s a lot of detals missing in this amazing story. With all, and as usual "I love the way you guys tell this amazing stories". I said all this thing because I belived people need to know the whole story from all sides. Thank you very much.
There's already a whole movie dedicated to this if you want that much detail.
@@WALTERBROADDUS I´m not looking for details.... I know the details. I want´s everyone else to know the details as good as I do. What is the name of that movie?? The one made by Hollywood back in the 50´s?? War winners USSually like to tell the story according to their insterest... without important details.
@@manuelyanez1511 1956 British movie Battle of the River Plate/Pursuit of the Graf Spee is generally excellent, and turns up a lot on KZhead. The special effects can be a jarring limitation for some viewers; filmed in luscious vista vision, with US heavy cruiser Salem as Graf Spee, British cruisers Sheffield and Jamaica (both equally famous cruisers in their own right) as Ajax and Exeter, and Achilles (though by this time serving the Indian Navy as Delhi) playing herself, there is a huge disconnect between live action shots of ships steaming and firing, and of a big model of Salem/Graf Spee being pummeled. However despite this the acting is superb, the writing is great, and it's pretty accurate to many parts of the battle within the roughly 40 minute middle part of the film (though Bell's classic line is sanitized to "the scheer's on our port beam"). Anthony Quayle as Harwood and John Gregson as Bell are especially good, as are Ian Hunter and the ever imposing Jack Gwillim as Captains of Ajax and Achilles (all four actors incidentally being combat veterans), but Peter Finch is an understated scene stealer as Langsdorf, who comes through as an honorable and respected figure. No two hour movie could incorporate every aspect of the action, but for it's time, and on a British (not Hollywood) budget it holds up as a classic. If modern writers wouldn''t wreck the script with anti war or post colonial or woke guilt, or if cinematographers wouldn't mess it up with sombre tinged lighting, or if the CGI wasn't as garrish as the 1950's effects were limited, and if modern actors with out of place working class diction and sombre introspection didn't turn the clipped accented steely nerved British commanding officers into brooding clowns and Langsdorf into a raving Nazi, the movie would definitely deserve a big budget remake on a grander scale.
@@manuelyanez1511 The name of the movie is 'The Battle of the River Plate'. It's occasionally shown on British daytime TV.
@@frankmitchell3594 Again... told by winner, USS ship used, rigth after WWII without easy access to all truth.... sound like hollywood to me.... far away from the truth...
Another absolutely lovely video. Shows the bravery of the British sailors and even Cpt.Langsdorff and the crew of the Graf Spee. I do feel bad for the Captain, he followed his orders, protected his crew and took the ultimate responsibility as the captain of the ship. I do hope people will start seeing Langsdorff in a more positive light, he was seen as a coward for doing what was right, and now people tend to dismiss him since he's a captain in the Nazi navy. Even though things are more complicated then how people want to make it so cut and dry.
There are those of us with an interest in the history of naval warfare who, even tho' we might be English and, therefore, Langsdorff being the enemy in our eyes, consider him nonetheless to be an honourable one. He was a German fighting in the navy of his country, not a Nazi, and he followed the rules of commerce raiding as punctiliously as could be under the circumstances. I have refought this battle a few times over the years, using table-top rules and, am proud to say, that I sank the Graf Spee with some incredibly close range gunfire :) I want to say I was a 100 yds off her stern at one point but I might be exaggerating there :D The Exeter, Achillies and Ajax and Graf Spee sailed in my bedroom in Airfix model form for many years :)
Yarnhub has a new video! Brilliant as usual sir. The British Navy never know how to surrender. Going into certain death they fight until the end. I have never seen anyone do a video on this largely unknown battle. I appreciate it. Keep up the Navy videos.
Finally, a non-Hollywood portrayal of this famed epic war event. And graphics were outstanding. Good work and thank you..! One thing....for future reference, ensure that the ship's gun director range finder(s) turn with the guns as they bear. Otherwise the guns are firing blind.
"There's the fucking Scheer!" lol
6:32
I mean the Admiral Scheer ship had more successes for a surface commerce raider compared to their battleships...
Deutschland, Admiral Graf Spee, and Admiral Sheer were all Deutschland class cruisers. Hard to tell one from another especially at 7 miles away.
"It's the Graf spee!"
I love that clip
I would love it if Yarnhub did a video on the Monchy 9 of Newfoundland. 9 men of the Royal Newfoundland Regiment positioned at Monchy-le-Preux during the Battle of Arras in 1917 hid behind shrubbery and defended the town from a German force anywhere from 200 - 300 men strong for 11 hours to prevent a German break through. I think it is a very cool and very underrated battle that sounds like the plot of a movie.
Oh I have been waiting so long for this story to be animated, I am Uruguayan and since I was a child I was always curious about the story of Admiral Graf Spee it was this one in particular that brought out my curiosity and set me on the path to learn about the history of WWII. Although the Admiral's story is longer and full of details, the work they did with this video is phenomenal, thank you very much yarnhub for animating it.

I can see the Donnager battle in The Expanse taking slight inspiration from the Battle of the River Plate. A larger capital ship, ambushed by smaller ships, defeated, and scuttled to avoid internment. Despite their defeat, the crews fought with bravery. May they rest in peace.
Sort of? The Donnager was ambushed by ships with superior tech

As an Uruguayan the history of the Graf Spee and the circumstances of its scuttling has always been part of our modern history and myth. Great video!
Another great example of Yarnhub's videography and storytelling. Placing the video of the scuttling of the Graf Spee ahead of Capt. Langsdorff's suicide might make more sense, especially to those not familiar with the history, but another "Well done" to the Yarnhub staff.
Ganda guys! Love to see Jutland or Dogger Bank up next!
I do enjoy that in the excitement, they forgot what ship they were pursuing - 'it's the fucking Scheer' when of course they knew it was the Graf Spee. Another great video, lads.
So, let me get this straight: All this time, due to loss of communications, Exeter was fighting Graf Spee on it's own...and scored a critical hit?! Absolute legends.
And another truly epic upload! You guys honestly deserve a spot on the history channel or something, your work is by far the best when it comes to animated war history, bravo, Yarnhub!
Honestly, it's almost unreal for me I can touch one of the 150 mm cannons from that massive and beautiful ship. The Graf Spee is one of the best anechdotes here in Uruguay.

pocket battleships/ Panzerschiff revolved around the concept of Outgun what you could outrun, but outrun what you could not outgun. When Designed, Graff Spee had an electrically welded hull, Which improved armor durability since a single hit would not not cause something like riveted armor plating to buckle at the rivet joints
This is part of the reason i love ww2 history so much, and have so much admiration for the royal navy. " Oh whats that, we only have one turret and no fire control or communications?" "Guess i'll just have to stick my head out the turret and use the old mk1 eyeball" he was quite litterally playing a game of battleship.... With a real warship. And then only slightly later " So you're telling me we're listing, on fire, have no communications and are running the ship through a human chain. We have no guns, torpedos, or any way to attack the gemans apart from harsh langauge?" " Guess we'll just have to ram the bastards!" Talk about balls of steel.
This is what KZhead was made for
Greetings from Uruguay 🇺🇾 Montevideo... where all the surviving sailors of the Graf spee came moments before the destruction of the ship.

I very small point, and not a criticism at all. Doric Star was rather more elegant in appearance than the ship in your animation, and her 4 inch gun was mounted aft.
Thank you for some fond memories watching the movie about this as a kid together with my late dad. Thank you sooo much!

Gotta admit, the moment Bell starts sending orders via runner's, and those runners get more runners to better spread those orders and connect the ship. That's the best part of this video for me.

Thank you for making this video! I am Uruguayan and I have never seen a channel that made an animation of the "battle of the Río de la Plata" outside of Uruguayan territorial waters and the graf spee made repairs here
