Hello Everyone,
I was wondering if someone could clear this up for me. I recently read a book about Sea Battles in WWI and read that the Seeadler was armed with two twin torpedo tubes and two 105mm guns hidden under timber on the deck when inspected my the british.
I remember hearing that (or mabye reading that) there was only a single 88mm hidden under timber and no torpedo tubes at all. There was also something about a Norwegian speaking crew detail that was important.
By all accounts, has my mind made up stories or are there any alternate versions as to what was aboard the Seeadler when she sailed on her famous raid under Luckner?
