This pictorial record explains the Kriegsmarines World War I roots and its rebuilding in contravention to the Treaty of Versailles before going on to examine the rebirth of the German U-boat fleet, the use of commerce raiders like the Atlantis and Komet, the naval campaigns in which the German navy participated, and Kriegsmarine leaders. Even without a large surface fleet, German ships like the Graf Spee, Bismarck and Tirpitz kept Allied forces occupied, while the U-boat fleet proved a formidable force beneath the waves. All categories of German vessels are explored, accompanied by an authoritative history of the Kriegsmarine.
