Steven GoldmanHOST
His refusal to play with catcher Fleet Walker, just because he was Black, and therefore, by some definition inferior, not Darwin's, not the scientist's, but he was unworthy or unclean according to Cap Anson and to a lot of his fellow Americans, and for that matter to Germans of that day, was 13 years in the future.
Steven GoldmanHOST
He played that card at the same time that the German Navy sailed up to the Namibian coast and said, "Here's the way things are gonna be from now on." If we were so different, if we were so much better, why were we doing the same dastardly things at the same time? And on that subject, Wounded Knee was still a few years after that.
Steven GoldmanHOST
I think of everyone I talked about today, it was the Boer who came out best.
Steven GoldmanHOST

Brad OlsenGUEST
So there is no evidence that Hitler, uh, died in the bunker in, uh, 1945, but, uh, escaped with so many other top people like Martin Bormann, the money man, who kept popping up all over South America in the 1950s.
Brad OlsenGUEST
Um, so the German Navy was using this information we think that they gained in Tibet.
Brad OlsenGUEST
The Tibetans would tell them, "This is the route you need to take to get to this, um, inner earth city." And as Ishmael Perez says, well, that kinda makes sense because he was sort of under the impression that beyond the ice wall, there were these different areas.
Brad OlsenGUEST
And indeed, in these U-boat maps, you can see different areas beyond the ice wall, if you wanna call it that.
Dan SnowHOST
Britain now relied on fragile cargo routes that crisscrossed the oceans for her food and vital supplies that allowed her to continue resisting Nazi domination.
Dan SnowHOST
Grand Admiral Raeder, head of the German Navy, had witnessed the successes of the army and Luftwaffe as they had dominated Central Europe.
Dan SnowHOST
but also had seen how they'd struggled to subdue Britain.
Dan SnowHOST
He was keen to remain useful in the eyes of the Fuhrer and add naval victories to Germany's impressive list of achievements.
Dan SnowHOST
It would now be the turn of the Kriegsmarine to try and break the British.
Nick HewittGUEST
So the German navy in the Second World War, the most important thing to realise about it is it's terribly small.
Nick HewittGUEST
Nevertheless, they've used it operationally, most notably perhaps in Norway in 1940 when they use almost their entire fleet to transport an army and carry out a surprise attack on Norway.
Nick HewittGUEST
They have their pocket battleships, the famous Panzerschiffer.
David WalesNARRATOR
PREFACE Some time ago a naval officer who was engaged on particularly hazardous duty was discussing calmly the chances that he and his like had of surviving the war, assuming that it continued for several more years and that his particular branch of it increased its intensity.
David WalesNARRATOR
He wound up his remarks by saying, "...the chief reason why I particularly want to survive the finish is that I'm so keen on comparing notes with our opposite members in the German Navy." That is the answer to those who ask, as an important official gentleman asked recently, why this English translation of Rittmeister von Richthofen's book should be published.
David WalesNARRATOR
It gives our flying people an opportunity of comparing notes with one of Germany's star-turned fighting pilots, just as that excellent book by contact gives the Germans the chance of gathering the atmosphere of the Royal Flying Corps as it was in 1916 and 1917.
David WalesNARRATOR
The Red Battle Flyer has evidently been carefully censored by the German authorities.
David WalesNARRATOR
it is all a matter of the point of view and largely no doubt a matter of education however making due allowance for the point of view one finds surprisingly little hunnishness in von richthofen's manners or methods as set forth in print it is one of the accepted facts of war that the german aviators have displayed greater chivalry than any other branch of the german services it was a common occurrence for their pilots to fly over our lines in the course of their business and by way of variety from that business to drop packets containing letters from captured british aviators for the personal belongings of the dead one gathers that these acts of courtesy have become less frequent of late owing to the intensification of aerial warfare but it seems that captured or killed aviators still received full courtesies of war from the german aviators whatever may be the fate of prisoners in other hands afterwards It is not surprising, therefore, to find that, taking him all round, Rittmeister von Richthofen conveys to one the general impression that, mutatus mutandus, he is very like an English public schoolboy of good family.
David WalesNARRATOR
His egotism, as one finds it in the book, is the egotism of a young man who is frankly pleased with himself, but is more elated by his good luck than by his cleverness.
David WalesNARRATOR
taking him by and large one rather likes von richthofen and one fancies that most of the r f c people who have fought him would be quite pleased after the war to sit at table with him and compare notes over the cigarettes and liquors as my naval friend wants to do with his pre-war friends of the german navy and there are unhappily not too many of our present enemies of whom one would like to express such an opinion when one comes to read into the book one begins to find many interesting things about the german army and the war in general as well as about the german pflegertruppen or flying service The German is not really a skillful censor.
David WalesNARRATOR
Just as certain portraits painted by an artist at Ruhleben conveyed by the expression of the faces a good deal that Germany would like hidden, so von Richthofen's book, though carefully censored, lets out quite a good deal of information.
Juan NaulaNARRATOR
While the German economy was suffering from shortages due to the blockade of German ports by the British Navy, the British and French were receiving supplies across the Atlantic from the United States of America.
Juan NaulaNARRATOR
The German Navy had previously attempted to disrupt the flow of supplies by launching submarine attacks.
Juan NaulaNARRATOR
But the sinking of the passenger liner Lusitania in 1915, with the loss of over a thousand lives, prompted a protest from the United States, which forced Germany to limit its submarine activity in the Atlantic Ocean.
Juan NaulaNARRATOR
On the 9th of January 1917, Hindenburg and Ludendorff overcame the objections of Bettmann-Holwick and successfully persuaded the Kaiser to adopt a policy of unrestricted submarine warfare, to weaken British control of the seas and to cut off American aid to Britain and France.

NATO's Allied Joint Force Command Brunssum, that's one of NATO's three operational level joint force commands, and the one responsible for military operations in Eastern and Central Europe, said in a tweet, "Kept secret, now revealed.
Dominic NichollsHOST
The German Navy just tested the Israeli Laura ballistic missile from a German frigate in the North Atlantic, quietly, deliberately.
Dominic NichollsHOST
NATO 3.0 looks like this.
Dominic NichollsHOST
Europe is taking more responsibility, building serious capabilities, and keeping a few cards close to the chest." Now, of course, capability development is going on all the time, but the timing of this is interesting given the wider context of an increasingly aggressive Russia, the need for European ballistic missile attack and defense, and so on.
speaker_18SOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
It's a type of weapon that can travel faster and strike further than anything currently in Germany's arsenal.
speaker_18SOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
This video was released by Germany's Navy.
speaker_18SOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
And this test came just hours after the government in Berlin publicly blamed Russia for an attempted drone attack at Leipzig Airport recently.
speaker_19SOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Why
speaker_18SOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
And that's significant because for decades Germany has been reluctant to invest in long-range strike weapons.
speaker_18SOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
That position seems to be now changing fast.
speaker_18SOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
The German Navy Chief, Jan Christian Kark, said in a statement, our units can successfully deploy the system and its potential range exceeds anything we've seen before.
speaker_18SOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
This test marks a new chapter in deterrence and maritime defence readiness.
