Fregattenkapitän Fritz Lüdecke (SMS Dresden)

[Paul_G_Baker]

I'm interested in anything that could throw some light on Fregattenkapitän Fritz Lüdecke's patchy performance at Cruiser Warfare while commanding SMS Dresden.

If anyone knows anything about his Service History before setting out in SMS Karlsruhe, it would be much appreciated!

Thanks in advance!
