Von der Tann


When I'm getting the daily walk in English Landing Park, I've got something or another on my .mp3 player. Right now it's Robert Massie's excellent Castles of Steel, the story of the British/German naval war in World War I. The narrator does a fine job and one of the things I like is his pronunciation of the name of the German battlecruiser Von der Tann. Seems to have been a fine ship and as lethal as hoped by its designers. Picture courtesy of Wikipedia.
