Code Breaking Cable cutting Room 40 OB (“Blinker” Hall)
Magdeburg (Naval codes) Hobart (Naval coordination codes) Destroyer S-119 (Naval international codes) Wilhelm Wassmuss (Diplomatic codes)
General consensus is that most of the British success in code breaking was due to “solving” rather than use of code books.

Nitrates Essential for
Explosives Fertilizers
Blockade completely cut off supply Learned to get it from air BUT, just enough for
the Army & Navy Result: much lower annual crop production
German: -42% Austrian: -80%
By 1917, average caloric intake was 1/3 of that of 1914

Summary The German surface “guerre de course” was a
complete failure. High Seas Fleet was a strategic failure (perhaps
blunder?) of major proportions. The U-Boat was very successful 1916 – 1917
and if a counter had not been found might very well have defeated England.
The Royal Navy blockade was devastating and a major (perhaps THE MAJOR) contributor to Germany’s defeat.
