Reinhard Scheer
In 1928, Scheer accepted an invitation to meet his adversary from Jutland, Admiral of the Fleet Jellicoe, in England. However, at the age of 65, Scheer died at Marktredwitz before he could make the trip. He was buried in the municipal cemetery at Weimar. His tombstone reads: [Here rests Admiral Reinhard Scheer] — with the dates of his life, his flag in metal applique and the single word (the German name for the Battle of Jutland).
