German postcard celebrating sinking of 3 English ships by U9On 1 August 1914, Kapitänleutnant Otto Weddigen took command. On September 22, while patrolling the Broad Fourteens, a region of the southern North Sea, U-9 found a squadron of three obsolescent British Cressy-class armoured cruisers, sardonically nicknamed the Live Bait Squadron, which were assigned to prevent German surface vessels from entering the Eastern end of the English Channel. She fired all six of her torpedoes, reloading while submerged,and in less than an hour sank the three cruisers, HMS Aboukir, HMS Hogue, and HMS Cressy. 1459 British sailors died. It was one of most notable submarine actions. Members of the Admiralty who had considered submarines to be mere toys no longer expressed that opinion after this event. On October 15 she sunk another armoured cruiser, HMS HawkePlease see the scan I happily ship anywhere in the world.I combine postage as much as possibleCheck out my other items Postage and packing Postage and packing for UK £0.40p Airmail Post and packing for Europe £0.80p Airmail Post and packing for USA and rest of world £1.20pI happily ship anywhere in the world.Payment methods This auction is listed in British Pounds (£) Sterling.Please pay by one of the following methods UK Cheques or Postal Order.
