  1. Maybe try going up the Denmark Straits north of Iceland and then coming down off the Norwegian coast in total radio silence to try and keep from alerting the whole Grand Fleet to come out and play? Doubt it'd've worked, but at least that way von Spee's fleet could try to make for the Norwegian coast and interned-but-alive status if he did get spotted.

  2.  @aaronstorey9712  I never said it was a particularly good chance (and I did express my doubt that he'd've been able to pull the whole thing off anyways).

  3. 5:22 - Um, the River Plate is on the east coast of South America.

  4.  @aaronstorey9712  Not necessarily, if he can manage to coal in a neutral port (not ideal, since that'll likely alert the Royal Navy as to where he is) or in one of the German colonies in Africa that were still under German control by this point (Cameroon and SW Africa, although the latter of those not for much longer).

  5. Port Stanley: von Spee's bridge too far.
