Administrative / biographical background
The internment of the German High Seas Fleet in late 1918 was the forced relocation of over seventy German warships to Scapa Flow, Scotland, under Allied supervision,as agreed in the Armistice, to prevent their use while the Treaty of Versailles was negotiated; the fleet remained there under poor conditions, leading to the eventual, dramatic scuttling of most ships by their crews on 21 Jun 1919, under Admiral Ludwig von Reuter's command to deny them to the Allies, marking the final act of the war.
