Summary
Details

When in August 1915 Grand Admiral Tirpitz warned that if the Dardanelles fell Germany would lose the war he was expressing the view, not only of other German military strategists, but also that of Winston Churchill. Churchill, of course, has been widely blamed by his own side for a campaign doomed in its very conception. The idea that the Allies were defeated at Gallipoli not because of Churchill's faulty conceptualization but because of inferior Anglo-French leadership runs like a leitmotiv through German accounts, which even reveal their anxiety that the Dardanelles would likely be breached on the night of the first attempt. They reveal, too, that in German eyes what finally tipped the balance of the campaign was the brilliance and audacity of a lone-wolf U-boat commander.
