One has to look at the fleet chart at the very beginning to see that there was nothing other for Germans to do then to die in glory - even if they managed same losses as the British they still loose. The fleet chart on German side is just too tiny.

@dovetonsturdee7033 Frequently you do not have much "choice" even when morale is low there is usually some young officer determined to die for his country. Heck, it may not even be *your country*. My great grandfather died during battle of Brezina on the Eastern front. Great grandma got Iron Cross instead of her husband and promptly threw it into fire. Moved to Poland. My grandfather, despite being born in Berlin, served in Polish army. During D-day many troops facing the Americans offered little resistance as many were ... non Germans. They lived in Poland that was annexed into Germany and treated as "Germans". Same with almost all Czechs.
