Ahh of course.  It was soldiers (Freikorps) against sailors and workers (Communists/Spartacists) - a bloody business which heralded a quarter century of turmoil in Germany.  Evan Mawdsley's book "The Russian Revolution and the Baltic Fleet" gives a concise account of the collapse of morale at Kronstadt and Helsingfors and the subsequent  "sailor committees".  The period 1900-1923 is to my mind the most interesting of European history.
