In this episode, I share the history of Kriegsmarine, the German Navy, from the year 1935 to 1945. I talk about the expansion of Kriegsmarine, the remaining ships of Kriegsmarine after World War 2. The Anglo-German Naval Agreement signed on June 18, 1935, the attack of Duchland on May 28, 1937, and the authorization of Plan Z in January 1939. I also share some insights on the beginning of The Battle of The Mediterranean in June 1940, the submarine warfare, the attack on the Soviet Union by the Germans in June 1941 and, the role of the Kriegsmarine in evacuating fleeing German citizens from Pomerania and Stettin. Tune in to learn more about Kriegsmarine and its role in the world war.
