                                        GERMAN NAVAL FORCES--World War II

 

 

       The German High Command during the early years of World War II distributed photos to the nation showing successes of their navy against the Allies on the high seas.  Many of the photos were confiscated and destroyed by the Allies during the occupation.  Following are some that survived, with details of battles and the sailors and their officers who were involved in the conflicts.  Immediately apparent are the young ages of the sailors versus the older officers, which is common when nations engage in war.  The youth are always required to take oaths of allegiance and must vent destruction on enemies that they may bear no animosity against.  History repeatedly shows where enemies frequently become allies in future wars as political aspirations vary.  It is fitting that the service of all those caught up in the conflicts be accessible when records are available.
