The Northern Patrol
1914-19 — From Scapa Flow, Britain seals the exits of the North Sea and slowly starves the Central Powers of imports. By 1918 German civilian mortality is tens of thousands above peacetime — the blockade is the war’s slowest weapon, and one of its most decisive.
This is one scene of Chapter 6 — The Slowest Weapon in The Great War, 1914–1918.
