Nevertheless he was promoted to Grand Admiral (Großadmiral) in 1939, and later that year suggested Operation Weserübung, the invasions of Denmark and Norway in order to secure sheltered docks out of reach of the Royal Air Force, as well as provide direct exits into the North Sea.
Since such circumstances were never gained, the invasion was thus postponed indefinitely due to the Luftwaffe's failure to obtain the invasion prerequisite of air superiority during the Battle of Britain, and instead the focus of the German war machine was diverted to Operation Barbarossa, the German invasion of Soviet Union, which Raeder opposed strongly.
A series of failed operations after that point, combined with the outstanding success of the U-boat fleets under the command of Karl Dönitz led to his eventual demotion to the rank of Admiral Inspector of the German Navy in January of 1943, and eventually to resignation and retirement in May of 1943.
