Information:

Battlefield Detectives is a forensic documentary television series that aired
on the History Channel from 2003 to 2006. The series explores famous battles 
focusing on the battlefield itself, and tell its story based on recent scientific research. 
It uses modern science to examine how the battles were won or lost.

According to History Television, "This series approaches the perennially interesting topic 
of famous battles in a fresh and exhilarating way. Focusing on the battlefield itself, 
each programme takes an important battle telling its story and posing a puzzling central question about the battle that recent scientific research is helping to illuminate - 
a contemporary journey of discovery and a compelling story from the past."

It’s May 1916.
The British Grand Fleet is moored in the peaceful harbour of Scapa Flow off the North Coast of Scotland. Unchallenged since the Battle of Trafalgar, the global dominance of the British Royal Navy is seemingly assured.
But this is all about to change.
The Battle of Jutland between Britain and Germany was the largest naval action of all time. It was a confrontation that the British wanted. An opportunity to unleash their lethal super weapons of the day – the great ships they called Dreadnoughts – and to prove that Britain did still rule the waves.
Yet, in the cold grey waters of northern Europe, the showdown ended in carnage on a scale few could have imagined. Today the ships with their vast gun turrets and thousands of shells still litter the sea bed.
Nine thousand lives were lost, the majority British. Thousands blown apart in three catastrophic explosions.
Now, using the latest modern science Battlefield Detectives investigates. And asks: what went wrong? Why was Jutland so disastrous for the British Royal Navy? And could it be, that in losing the Battle, they won the Naval War.
