To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
His opportunity had come for revenging himself for the serve thrashing he received at Skager Rak and so he coarsely insults the brave men and the splendid ships that administered it. The men were the brothers of those who in their small cruisers had fought so gallantly at the Falklands against Beatty's overwhelming Armada of big ships and provided him with a cheap triumph after the infinitely greater German victory over Craddock's squadron off Coronel, fought under fair conditions. After the ma...gnificent feats of courage, audacity and seamanship, of successful encounters with England's gigantic sea-forces, of bold raids, dashes, blockade running and "privateering" performed by the officers and the men of the 63 young but incomparable German navy feats to which Eng- land, with all her great sea-traditions, has absolutely nothing to oppose in this war, the mud-slinging of Admiral Beatty can only recoil in his own face. It is certain that this noble specimen of the new navy would have been particularly glad of another cheap victory with an overwhelming fleet and beef-fed crews over the smaller, weaker German fleet on a last, forlorn dash.
