On December 13th, 1939, the German cruiser Admiral Graf Spee arrived at the estuary of the River Plate with the aim of hunting down British merchant ships. However, these plans were doomed to fail as the ship became the target of a British squadron under the command of Commodore Henry Harwood. The lone German ship was better armed and armored than any of the British cruisers, but the squadron had the advantage of numbers: 3 vs 1. Knowing that they would be badly damaged, the British forces, still commenced their attack. Who would win and why did the Germans end up scuttling the Graf Spee?
