	Kriegsmarine Admirals: Karl Donitz, Erich Raeder
		Grand Admiral Karl Dönitz (16 September 1891 -24 December 1980) served as the leader (Befehlshaber der Unterseeboote) of the German U-boat campaign during World War II.
		Nevertheless he was promoted to Grand Admiral in 1939, and later that year suggested 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.
		A series of failed operations after that point, combined with the outstanding success of the U-boat fleets under the command of Karl Doenitz led to his eventual demotion, and eventually to resignation.

		Donitz was fortunate in having the services as commanders of a number of officers who had seen service in the U-boat arm during World War I. But increasingly as the war went on the officers and men of the U-boat force would be new, and usually young, in their late teens and twenties.
		A meeting between Donitz and Walther in November 1942 led to the decision to concentrate in the interim on the "electro" submarine.
		Donitz, reasoning that there was no proof that the "asdic" detection system was actually as effective as had been claimed, ordered his commanders to close in to about 550 yards before attacking.

		Grand-Admiral Karl Donitz commanded the U-Boat arm of the German Navy for the first three years of the war, then, in 1943 he succeeded Admiral Raeder as Commander in Chief of the Navy.
		On "Count One," although Donitz built and trained the German U-Boat arm, the evidence does not show he was privy to the conspiracy to wage aggressive war, or that he prepared and initiated such wars.

	Amazon.com: Donitz: The Last Fuhrer: Books: Peter Padfield (Site not responding. Last check: )
		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.
		If you are hoping for a book that portrays Donitz as he was seen during his life, an officer who did his military duty and kept his hands clean of the atrocities of the Nazis, try another.

	Battle of the Atlantic - Prelude to War
		Donitz’s other u-boat doctrine included the coordination of reconnaissance aircraft, supply vessels and night surface attack allowed his boats to strike without warning, where they were most effective and least expected.
		Donitz was a well regarded officer, but he was just a commodore (one star officer) and his views were given the same weight as his rank.
		As we would learn later, Donitz’s U-boats were highly successful upon the opening of the war, and at one point had nearly won the war for Germany; while on the other hand, the big battleships of Bismarck and Graf Spee only made headlines as being hunted and sunk by the Royal Navy.

		The message stated that all senior submarine staff officers and U-boat commanders were to report for a "reunion" on August 19 at Donitz's headquarters on the submarine tender Hecht, moored at a naval pier in Kiel.
		When all had gathered, Donitz outlined the complicated geopolitical situation that had developed, the perils entailed, and the submarine war plans.
		To avoid the prospect of a two-front war, Hitler was attempting to negotiate a nonaggression pact with the Soviet Union.

	Wolves 2
		In his memoirs, Admiral Karl Donitz, the wolf-pack mastermind, wrote about "a sea-war of attrition." Defeat the convoys and Britain would fall, he said.
		Visiting Admiral Karl Donitz' one time wolf-pack headquarters (the admiral in chateau's map room) in what is now the port admirals private residence in nearby Kerneval, became the trip highlight.
		Since all but three houses in a town with a pre-war population of 45,000 were destroyed in Allied air-raids, I expected a reply that the chateau had been destroyed during one of 300 Allied air raids, but I was surprised by his answer.

	cantonrep.com - Hitler preferred battleships over worthy U-boat
		Donitz left the meeting convinced the coming war was won.
		But as was often the case with the vacillating Hitler, his passion for U-boats cooled, in part because other German naval officers — with their own turf to protect — downplayed the importance of U-boats, and in part because of a character flaw that would repeatedly undermine Hitler’s war planning.
		And so Donitz never got the U-boat fleet he envisioned and England survived long enough to keep Germany at bay until America entered the war.

	German U-Boats and Battle of the Atlantic
		Winston Churchill, the then Prime Minister of Britain was most noted in his speech summarizing the German U-boats and the Battle of the Atlantic as "The only thing that ever really frightened me during the war was the U-boat peril".
		Grand Admiral Karl Donitz, commander of the German U-Boat force understood the potential of the submarine’s unconventional ability, and believed Germany could fight a naval power like Great Britain, and win.
		He was the only officer in the German High Command who viewed that victory in the Battle of the Atlantic could only be achieved by German U-Boats, and such a victory would lead to an early conclusion of the Second World War.

	Grand Admiral Karl Donitz: Last President of a United Germany
		As Dönitz relates in his Memoirs, Dr. Karl Hermann Frank, Protector of Bohemia-Moravia, concerned with Czech worries over the political fate of their nation should it fall into Russian hands, sought the agreement of Dönitz to make an offer to surrender to the Americans.
		Karl Dönitz was never a political man, and he took but little interest in the wearisome struggles of German political parties during the Weimar era.
		Karl Dönitz "is reported to have maintained contact in recent years with active neo-Nazi elements."[55] The Grand Admiral himself commented sensibly: "You must remember I have been isolated and cut off from the world for eleven and a half years.
