	Grossadmiral Karl Doenitz
		Doenitz explained that his reason for these orders was to insure that the German civilian population might be evacuated and the Army might make an orderly retreat from the East.
		Doenitz said that if they were captured by the Navy their execution was a violation of the Commando Order, that the execution was not announced in the Wehrmacht communique, and that he was never informed of the incident.
		Doenitz claims that what he meant by "measures" were disciplinary measures against German troops to prevent them from surrendering, and that his words had no reference to measures against the Allies; moreover that this was merely a suggestion, and that in any event no such measures were ever taken, either against Allies or Germans.

	Axis History Forum :: View topic - IMT Testimony of Karl Doenitz
		Doenitz: Right at the beginning of the war it was our experience that all merchantmen not only took advantage of their radio installations when an attempt was made to stop them, but that they immediately sent messages as soon as they saw any U-boat on the horizon.
		Doenitz: I have already stated that between an offensive and defensive use of armament on the part of a ship against a submarine, there is practically no difference at all, that it is a purely theoretical differentiation.
		DOENITZ: There is, of course, a great difference in risk between rescue measures for which the submarine has to stop, and men have to go on deck, and a brief surfacing to pick up a captain, because while merely surfacing the submarine remains in a state of alert, whereas otherwise that alertness is completely disrupted.

	The World at War: Karl Donitz (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		During 1941 and 1942 Doenitz submarines nearly won the war for Germany, sinking a large percentage of the ships carrying essential supplies to Britain and the Soviet Union.
		Hitler was highly impressed by Doenitz' talent, and appointed him Commander in Chief of the Navy in January '43.
		Doenitz' claim to have been taken in by this operation seems plausible to the intelligence officer, because, he says, HE was taken in by it himself, even though as an American, he had less reason to believe the Nazis than Doenitz did!

		Doenitz was awarded the following decorations: On 18 September 1939 he received the Cluster of the Iron Cross, first class, for the U-boat successes in the Baltic during the Polish campaign.
		It describes in detail Doenitz's work in building up the U-boat arm; his ceaseless work in training night and day to close the gap of seventeen years, during which no training had taken place; his responsibility for new improvements and for devising the "pack" tactics which were later to become famous.
		Doenitz accordingly issued an order, which intended not merely the sinking of merchant ships, not merely the abstention from rescue of the crews, but their deliberate extermination.

		Doenitz became Commander-in-Chief of the German Navy in 1943 but the evidence does not show he knew of Hitler’s plans to initiate war.
		He did have the U-boat arm of the Navy prepared for war, however, and was solely in charge of this area of the military.
		He is ultimately unsure if this order was carried out as Doenitz was not in charge of the shipyards, but it does offer evidence of his knowledge of the concentration camps’ existence.

		As Padfield so eloquently proves, dedicated officer Dönitz was corrupted by his inner need for a cause and for a leader to serve--both of which he found in Adolf Hitler.
		Karl Donitz began his career as a Naval officer at about the age of twenty, being commissioned just prior to the outbreak of World War I, where he quickly earned an Iron Cross Second Class and his own command.
		Unlike other senior Nazis (Goring for example) Donitz never played socialite; he was a naval officer at heart and in deed from the age of twenty until the last days of World War II when he was appointed by Hitler just prior to his suicide to take his position as Chancellor of the Third Reich.
