An unverified report has Battenberg obtaining information about German warships directly from Kaiser Wilhelm II. The story concerns the Kaiser himself sending ship details, extending the earlier example of royal correspondence as a source of intelligence. Its plausibility is treated separately from its truth. The anecdote may be apocryphal and cannot be counted as a confirmed intelligence success.
