Hey, I don't know if this has been posted before, but these videos I found on youtube are quite enthralling. It is an episode of "World War II" hosted by Walter Cronkite and shows archival footage of the Graf Spee and the battle of the River Plate. While not completely accurate (most battleships would easily deal with the Spee) it is still very interesting. part 1: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZMZaBoIdDBQ&feature=related part 2: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xS3iFz6S7kI&feature=related part 3: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vE3wxQafKqI&feature=related
