I te 23 o Hepetema ki te timatanga o Oketopa, i mahi a Bayern hei rangatira o te III Squadron, i raro i te Vice Admiral (Vice Admiral) Hugo Kraft. I whai waahi a Bayern ki te mea ka rite ki te "rerenga mate" o te High Seas Fleet i mua tata atu o te mutunga o te Pakanga Tuatahi o te Ao. Ko te nuinga o te High Seas Fleet i puta mai i tona turanga i Wilhelmshaven ki te whakaeke i te British Grand Fleet. I hiahia a Scheer, inaianei ko te Großadmiral o te kaipuke, ki te kino i te kaipuke Ingarangi, kia pai ake ai te waahi hokohoko mo Tiamana, ahakoa te utu ki te kaipuke. I te wa e whakakotahi ana te kaipuke i Wilhelmshaven, ka tiimata te tutu o nga kaipuke o te pakanga. I te 24 o Oketopa 1918, i whakahaua kia tiimata mai i Wilhelmshaven.
Ko Hugo Kraft.
