Ep. 53: Ai confini del mondo. L'odissea dell'Ostasiengeschwader II (13 agosto - 15 novembre 1914)

Karl von Müller, capitano dell'incrociatore leggero SMS Emden, si porta nell'Oceano Indiano per portare avanti una solitaria guerra di corsa contro i traffici mercantili alleati. I risultati che ottiene rendono lui e la sua nave una vera celebrità in Germania, e uno spauracchio nel Regno Unito.Seguimi su Instagram: @laguerragrande_podcastSe vuoi contribuire con una donazione sul conto PayPal: [email protected] e condotto da Andrea BassoMontaggio e audio: Andrea BassoFonti dell'episodio:Australian War MemorialMike Carlton, First Victory: 1914.
