Aftermath of the disaster
Germany:
After the battle that wrecked both the world's greatest navies in one day, the Germans posted a propaganda poster that they sank every Royal Navy capital ship that took part in the battle over 31 May for the loss of 12 battleships [sinkings of the Bayern, Seydlitz, Posen, Konig, Kaiserin, Ostfriesland, Derrflinger, Kronprinz, and Kaiserin from progressive flooding were censored by the press temporarily to conceal the information from the Entente] and 1 battle cruiser, along with 25 light cruisers [for the loss of 10, actually 14 German] and some 60 destroyers.
Britain:
In the aftermath, the British were shocked when many of the ships that took part were missing and never came home. What happened to them was a major issue of consternation as they searched for survivors. The HMS Barham was in fact, overcrowded with 100 survivors from the sunken Bayern, who were rescued from lifeboats and another 500 from the Royal Navy.
An inquiry was ordered as to charge Admirals Beatty and Jellicoe for what they had done. The victory to be earned turned into a catastrophe that only can be calmed by the sinking or crippling of almost every German heavy unit involved. But, it might not be known until the next year or when prisoners from the German navy were captured, as hoped. The first official news came from broadcasts by the surviving British ships and the British considered withdrawing the losses from the public view. Now, an invasion in 1916 or 1917 might be coming and Britain would be left naked for the 'Huns'. Troops might have to be sent to calm down the populace. In the meantime, the population started to organize attacks on German owned businesses and houses and jeered and inquired at the survivors, especially destroyers, at what they had done when the British battleships were sinking in sight and even the battle cruisers blowing up.
[The British population was shocked that the long anticipated battle had been a victory for Germany. On 3 June, the Admiralty issued a further statement expanding on German losses, and another the following day with exaggerated claims. However, on 7 June the German admission of the losses of Seydlitz, Posen, Rostock and Ostfriesland started to redress the sense of the battle as a loss. International perception of the battle began to change towards a pyrrhic, albeit decisive German victory, the German ability to change the balance of power in the North Sea having been reduced. In July, bad news from the Somme campaign swept concern over Jutland from the British consciousness.]
