Her captain Hans Langsdorff lay on Admiral Graf Spee's battle ensign and shot himself forestalling any allegations that he had avoided further action through cowardice. He had saved his crew by his actions which were looked on as cowardice if not treason by Berlin

I have seen the film about The Battle of the River Plate, obviously not when it was released in 1956. I'm not that old.

Yep seen the film as well and not when released either there's talk of trying to raise whats left of the wreck for a museum in Uruguay a 5.9 inch gun the ships anchor and range finder have already raised weather or not any thing will come of it remains to be seen. It would be hugely expensive and finding funding would be difficult I would imagine.

Is there anything more breath-taking (or scary) than seeing the curvature of the Earth from such a height?
