TheGerman battleship Graf Spee in flames after being scuttled in the River Plate Estuary off Montevideo, Uruguay. Three days later, German Captain Hans Langsdorff shot himself in a hotel room in Buenos Aires, Argentina.

Commodore Henry Harwood is greeted by the British Minister to Uruguay, Mr E Millington-Drake after his arrival at Montevideo. Admiral Harwood arrived in the cruiser HMS AJAX after the battle of the River Plate and the scuttling of the ADMIRAL GRAF SPEE.

According to international law, a warship could only remain in a neutral port for 24 hours, and British diplomats tried to have Graf Spee interned or forced to leave. Langsdorff extended his stay by 72 hours but finally had to leave on 17 December.

Stalingrad was one of the most decisive battles on the Eastern Front in the Second World War. The Soviet Union inflicted a catastrophic defeat on the German Army in and around this strategically important city on the Volga river, which bore the name of the Soviet dictator, Josef Stalin.

The Battle of the Atlantic pitted Allied convoys protecting supply ships from North America and the Empire against German submarines (U-boats) and warships. At first, German attacks demolished Allied convoys, but in May 1941 when Germany's battleship Bismarck was lost, the Allies extended their convoy operations, routing them away from danger and lowering losses significantly.

The Second World War was the most destructive conflict in human history. Years of international tension and aggressive expansion by Fascist Italy and Nazi Germany culminated in the German invasion of Poland on 1 September 1939. Britain and France declared war on Germany two days later.

River Plate Amazon Outfitters has been a pioneer in Peacock Bass fishing since 1992 and has evolved from fixed land based operations to Fly-in Floating Cabins. These changes have allowed anglers to access remote, unfished water while still receiving the best levels of services, facilities, comfort and safety. Currently, River Plate Anglers accesses 30 individual remote river fisheries, spanning a 400-mile radius and have exclusive entry permits for more than 12 Indian Reservations and Government Preserves on the Rio Negro, the Rio Maderia watersheds, major tributaries to the Amazon River.

River Plate is the only outfitter in Brazil that has legally obtained fishing permits for Indian reserves, which restrict potentially damaging commercial fishing, greatly benefiting the Indian tribes by preserving land, water and wildlife in these delicate ecosystems. This also means that guests will not have to share the fishery with other outfitting companies. Especially with the floating cabins, guests fish in areas above natural barriers: shallow water, sandbars and rapids that prevent the passage of sport fishing yachts and commercial fishing boats.

The author tips a nod to the well-known eponymous movie of the Battle of the River plate that used the USS Salem as the Graf Spee and two real ships from the battle, the former HMNZS Achilles and the elderly HMS Cumberland. He fully appreciates that the film is of a sort that transposes reality. When I think of Hans Langsdorff I always see Peter Finch. Although the plot is not entirely accurate it has the effect of relaying that Langsdorff, the honourable man who committed suicide, was the kind of German we could admire back in 1956. All this is light years away from the modern world and when you consider these impressions it is easy to understand why some Germans see a stereotype of British people obsessing with the war when only a very small percentage probably do. I guess the impact of the film detracts from the story itself.

The important thing to take from this is admiration for the crews of the British cruisers and the excellent leadership and tactical nous of Henry Harwood. Somewhere in my house I have a contemporary booklet of cigarette cards depicting the battle and I have handled photos of the crew of HMS Exeter parading through a grateful City of London. These men were heroes admired by the whole country. Their success created the chimera that the Royal Navy was unbeatable just a short time after the tragedy of the Royal Oak at Scapa Flow.
