Messerschmitt joins Sven Longshanks and Dennis Wise once again for a presentation on the life of Admiral Karl Donitz.
We learn how Donitz started his career in the Imperial German Navy and was decorated in the first World War by both Germany and the Ottoman Empire.
In the interwar years he came up with theories regarding tactics and strategies for submarine warfare that proved to be very effective once war had broken out.
His successes as Commander of the Submarine Fleet were soon rewarded with promotions resulting in his appointment in 1943 as Grand Admiral, the highest Naval rank possible in the Third Reich.
Towards the very end of the war he was responsible for Operation Hannibal, the largest evacuation operation in history, which saved almost 2 million Germans from the raping and murdering Bolsheviks.
After the war he was unjustly imprisoned for 10 years in the same jail as the martyr for peace, Rudolf Hess.
Living a quiet life until his death in 1980 at the age of 89, he was buried near the village he had always lived in and thousands came to pay their last respects, including members of the British Royal Navy and over a hundred other Knight's Cross recipients.
Presented by Messerschmitt, Sven Longshanks and Dennis Wise
