The Navy [Kriegsmarine]
The
German Navy holds a long and honorable tradition. Unlike
the other services, German Navy uniforms and accouterments
have been historically slow in reflecting change. For example,
the German Navy edged weapons which remain in service today
bear only a minor modifications to the edged weapons carried
by members of the Royal Prussian Navy in the mid-nineteenth
century. Although the Versailles Treaty signed after World
War I seriously limited any sizeable overt expansion of
the German Navy, covert submarine production continued outside
the country. When Hitler gained power in 1933, he immediately
boosted the Navy to a formidable military force under the
aegis of Admiral Erich Raeder. Raeder remained at the helm
of the German Navy for the next fifteen years, when he was
replaced by Admiral Karl Donitz. Early in the war, German
U-boats were the nemeses of Allied sailors throughout the
Atlantic Ocean. As anti-submarine warfare was perfected
by the Allies, heavy combat losses were inflicted on the
Germans. For more information click

the Edged Weapons of the Third Reich", or some of the
other reference books that we offer.
