Hamburg
In the big German port of Hamburg there is no doubt as to who won the war.
They have seen their own prize merchant vessels sail out under other flags
and watched American food arrive for Russian prisoners
and then been forced out to help load other supplies to feed these former soldiers of the Czar
as they were being repatriated by way of the Black Sea.
Hamburg has no illusions about German sea supremacy

more than any other city of the former Empire that the merchant trade supremacy of the seas
has passed into other hands
