It took three years' preparation and over 3,000,000 moves of the model ships to reproduce faithfully ev course steered, every sinking, torpedo attack broadside, and every other recorded incident. Ea model could be moved but a sixteenth of an inch a time. It is this fidelity to facts which makes T Battle of Jutland the greatest historical drama e\ screened.
