Talk:9 January 1917 German Crown Council meeting

German Crown Council
, do your sources explain what the German Crown Council was? There is an article at fr:Conseil de la couronne (Empire allemand) and it is mentioned at de:Bismarcksche Reichsverfassung. TSventon (talk) 13:42, 13 December 2022 (UTC)


 * Hi TSventon, sorry, not really beyond that it was an advisory council convened by the Kaiser (it is presumably of similar nature to the others listed at Crown Council). The German Crown Council comes up a few times in WWI histories I've read.  There's discussion of some towards the end of the war in  and there's widespread coverage in contemporary newspapers of a July 1917 Crown Council that defined Germany's war aims - Dumelow (talk) 15:32, 13 December 2022 (UTC)


 * Thank you, I think it would be useful to add a couple of sentences similar to the content of the fr article on the German Crown Council to the article, but only if sources could be found. TSventon (talk) 09:54, 14 December 2022 (UTC)


 * Thanks TSventon. I've done a but more digging and found some sources to add as background, also added some more details of the meeting from a new source - Dumelow (talk) 12:03, 14 December 2022 (UTC)


 * Thank you, that was helpful. TSventon (talk) 10:02, 21 December 2022 (UTC)

Unclear statement.
The article states "The policy increased the quantity of shipping sunk by U-boats to 500,000 tons in February 1916, 600,000 tons in March and 870,000 tons in April." There was no unrestricted submarine warfare in 1916. There was only the intensified one. Germany restarted the policy only in January 1917. Did the writer mean 1917? אוהד בר-און (talk) 12:46, 29 August 2023 (UTC)
 * Thankyou אוהד בר-און, I've checked the source and it was meant to be 1917. Now changed - Dumelow (talk) 07:18, 4 September 2023 (UTC)
