Imperial German Navy
My homage to the once mighty Imperial German Navy which happened to be the second biggest one before the Great War, after the Royal Navy of course. The first part of the music is “Preußens Gloria”, a march composed by Johann Gottfried Piefke in 1871. The second part is from the video game “Medal of Honor” composed by Michael Giacchino in 1999. The soundtrack was released by DreamWorks Interactive, all rights reserved.

@Duchermeet It’s from the very first game and it’s used during the two levels where you must drive the King Tiger.

The music from MoH starts at 0:22?
From where, exactly, is that?

@ThugCologne Too bad they’re fleet wasn’t very advanced in the Second World War.

@Linkster2o Same here I had a Great Grandfather on serveral destroyers in World War 1, from what my grandpa told me, 2 ships he served on were sunk by U-Boats.

@Linkster2o Thanks for the compliments. One of my great-grandfathers was with the Alpenkorps. He fought in the Royal Bavarian Reserve-Riflemen Batallion No.10. They fought in Serbia, the Vosges, Lorraine and Italy. Fortunately he returned unspoiled. Another great-grandfather was too young and I don’t know what the other two did.

@Linkster2o She must be somewhere at 01:05. The picture shows the complete East Asia Squadron.
Indeed a tragic story. They crossed the Pacific just to die in the South Atlantic.

Great video! I’ve always had some interest in the naval history of the Great War, largely due to the service of one of my great grandfathers with the US Navy. He served on the USS Fanning, a beautiful and robust destroyer. She was actually credited with the first US Navy U-Boat kill, she helped sink U-58 while escorting a convey. I have a letter which he wrote to my great grandmother describing the destruction of the submarine and the conversations he had with the captured German sailors.

I didn’t see her in your slideshow here, but my favorite ship of the Imperial German Navy is the SMS Nürnberg. She was a beautiful light cruiser, a cousin of my great grandfather was serving on her when she was sunk near the Falklands in 1914, sadly he went down with her. That being said, his death saved my Great Grandfather the pain of fighting (indirectly) against one of his family, as he later served with the US Army when we entered the war.

@koelschwolf Ach mein Lieber, das hatten wir doch schon bei meinem Graf Zeppelin Video. Ich gebe meine E-mail-Adresse nicht heraus. Jeglicher Kontakt läuft über Youtube.

Dr. Gull, may I ask what country your home is
is? I live in Texas.
I have some nice pix of my Derfflinger and
could scan them to email you, but I don’t
think I can do that over this method of
comms.

@koelschwolf I’m sorry to hear that. My grandparents lost five siblings in the war. What a madness.
I had and have no relatives in the navy. My dad bought and built a model of Bismarck for me, when I was five. This ignited my interest for ships and my love for history.

I am afraid I do not know on what vessel my grandfather served during the Jutland Battle, I think it was a smaller ship, perhaps a Torpedoboat. I do know that he served with the East Asian Squadron based in Tsingtau prior to WW I, I think on the SMS Stingtau or Vaterland. He did survive WW I only to be killed in 1944 during an airraid on Koeln on the way to a shelter, just the day before he was to be released from a hospital and to join us in a small village. Hestarted my interest in the Navy

Thanks for your compliment. On what ship did your grandfather serve and did he return from war?
July 29th, 2010 at %I:%M %p
I have to agree DrGull, SMS Derfflinger was a beautiful ship. It is also my favored. I built a 1:165 scale RC model of her and she is displayed in my room together with SMS Seydlitz. I show my Derfflinger with the experimental Brandenburg W float plane which was placed on board of her in 1915.
Thanks for this website, my grandfather served in the Kaisers navy.

The Bismarck and the Tirpitz was build during the the Nazi regime not in the imperial German Empire… This are ships built before and during the FIRST worldwar and the Bismarck and Tirpitz were built before and during the SECOND worldwar… Germany had an awesome fleet in both wars

Me too. But only the pole mast version. The later tripod was really ugly. Molke was also great looking.
July 30th, 2010 at %I:%M %p
My fave is Derfflinger. She’s a beauty.

Konig, Freidreich de Grosse classes of battleship and all 4 classes of battlecruisers are the handsomest vessels in the Hi-Sea Fleet.

Fantastic interview! (Still a little bit jealous that I couldn’t make it to Berlin [am IV #3 guy;-)))]. Obviously, you all had a really good time there!
EBM (= Ecstatic Bounce Music *G*) rules!
