EDITORS COMMENTS
Admiral Hugo von Pohl: Architect of Unrestricted Submarine Warfare in World War I This striking photograph captures the stern gaze and resolute demeanor of Admiral Hugo von Pohl (1855-1916), a pivotal figure in the German naval hierarchy during World War I. As commander of the German High Seas Fleet from 1915 to 1916, von Pohl is most famously known for issuing the order for German U-boats to engage in unrestricted attacks on British shipping. The medal adorning his chest signifies his distinguished military career, while the uniform of a German admiral, complete with epaulets and gold braid, underscores his rank and authority. The photograph, taken circa 1915, captures the intensity and focus of a man leading his country's naval forces during a time of great war. Von Pohl's decision to implement unrestricted submarine warfare marked a significant escalation in the conflict, as it directly targeted civilian shipping and led to the sinking of American merchant vessels. This move further strained relations between Germany and the United States, ultimately contributing to the entry of the U.S. into the war on the side of the Allies. Despite the far-reaching consequences of his decision, von Pohl remained committed to the German war effort until his death in 1916. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the complex and often fraught decisions made during the First World War, and the indelible impact they had on global history.
