Last night I watched the movie Battle of the River Plate, Made in 1957, and featured the actual crews and ships that took part in this battle, THe HMS Ajax, the HMS Cumberland, Tne HMS Achilles, and the HMS Exeter. The Part of the Graf Spee was played by a US Cruiser. It was quite good, and interesting to see these ships in color that I have read so much about.
Anyway, I know that we have this battle as part of the single player missions, but was wondering if it is written in to the career portion of GWX, if so I look forward to changing the outcome of this pivitol battle.

Not all of the original ships were present in the movie, IIRC the
Exeter was replaced by a Crown Colony class Cruiser (HMS
Jamaica) as both she and her sister ship (
York) sank in WWII, and the
Ajax was replaced HMS
Sheffield
Great movie, though
