Comments by "" (@BobSmith-dk8nw) on "1047 Battlecruisers - Guide 185 (NB) in het Nederlands" video.
First off - the link to the music gave me a 404 error. Second - Wikipedia Page on 1047 Dutch Battle Cruisers https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Design_1047_battlecruiser Next - I was able to get the auto translate set to English and understand the basic gist of it though the translation was about as poor as it usually is doing that. Last - that was interesting. I'd no idea Holland had any ideas about building their own capital ships. There are those who would say that these ships would have been doomed - but - if deployed in conjunction with the Navies of the other colonial powers in Asia - France, Britain and the USA their deployment to protect Indonesia makes a lot more sense. Here - the assumption would be - that these powers were dealing only with Japanese aggression and - not that of Germany. I can only wonder at the thoughts of the Germans negotiating the construction of these ship with the Dutch - who knew their nation was about to invade Holland, the last exchanges taking place about 3 weeks before the attack. .
