	First World War.com - Who's Who - Reinhardt Scheer
		Reinhardt Scheer (1863-1928) commanded the German High Seas Fleet at the Battle of Jutland and subsequently headed the Naval Supreme Command in 1918 until his dismissal by the Kaiser shortly before the war's end.
		On 8 August 1918 Scheer was appointed Chief of the Admiralty Staff - that is, as head of the Naval Supreme Command - replacing Holtzendorff (reluctantly agreed upon by the Kaiser) and belatedly imposing a unified command structure upon the navy.
		Reinhardt Scheer, who was the recipient of both the Pour le Merite and the Oakleaves, died on 26 November 1928 in Marktredwitz at the age of 65.

	Admiral von Scheer
		Admiral Scheer entered the German navy as a cadet on 22 April 1879, and was promoted to Sea Cadet on 15 June 1880.
		Scheer proved to be a skillful tactician as he confused the British battle formation through battle turns of the entire High Seas Fleet and withdrew from a very threatening and in itself, intimidating embrace.
		Admiral Scheer was able to inflict heavy losses on the Allied Powers shipping even though he had a limited number of German warships at his disposal.

		Admiral Scheer continued on her own and managed to capture another ship - this time the Norwegian tanker Sandefjord, which was taken to France by a prize crew.
		After a complete overhaul, Admiral Scheer operated in the Baltic under the command of Kpt.z.S. Wilhelm Meendsen- Bohlken, who, towards the end of the war, was made Fleet Commander.
		That is how I got my first post-war glimpse of the "Admiral Hipper", still upright in dry-dock at the Deutsche Werke shipyards, and the "Admiral Scheer", lying on her side, about two hundred meters to the north, her bottom facing west.

		Admiral Hugo von Pohl, commander of the German High Seas Fleet, prudently resisted this temptation, aided by the Kaiser, but in February 1916, he was replaced by Admiral Reinhardt von Scheer, a far more aggressive strategist.
		Scheer had no idea that virtually the full strength of the Grand Fleet was at sea by the time Hipper's force steamed out of its ports.
		To an appalled Scheer, the sight of the Grand Fleet's long line looming from the smoke and haze amid the flash and thunder of heavy guns must have been a moment of utter nightmare.

		It is supposed that owing to the mist Arbuthnot was not aware of the nearness of the German battleships.

		Admiral Henderson says that he "passed during the night astern of our Fleet." This is the first time the statement has been so definitely made, but I have long understood that it is true.

		This concern was elevated in 1916 when Admiral Scheer took command of the German High Seas Fleet and undertook sorties against the English coast.
		Scheer had taken the entire High Seas Fleet to sea and this move made it conceivable that the British could cut off or overwhelm the German fleet.
		Prior to the battle, a mistake in British intelligence caused Jellicoe to believe Scheer was still in port and resulted in Beatty's squadron sailing ahead, while the main portion of the fleet slowed to conserve fuel.

	First World War.com - Who's Who - Franz von Hipper
		Admiral Franz von Hipper (1863-1932) gained dubious fame in Britain as the 'baby killer' of the German navy, a reputation deriving from his bold raids upon the British coast, notably at Scarborough, during the opening months of the war.
		Following the raid at Scarborough in December 1914, at which the Royal Navy was, at least so far as the press and popular opinion were concerned, caught napping, a determined effort was made to find and destroy Hipper's squadron.
		Having decided to try and repeat his earlier success at Scarborough, Hipper was in the process of sailing to Britain in January 1915 when, following the interception of radio traffic, the British, led by Admiral Beatty, intercepted him at the Battle of Dogger Bank.
