German First World War wing-turret layouts

A brief historical aside notes the recurring German use of wing turrets during the First World War and questions the rationale behind it.

Notes

A campaign layout prompts a historical aside about German capital-ship design during the First World War. The recurring use of wing turrets is treated as a puzzling preference. No explanation is offered for why German designers kept returning to the arrangement. The passage therefore preserves the design question without inventing an answer.
