Nazi naval leader testifies prewar plans limited to avoid England
Testimony from Admiral Werner Wagner for Doenitz before the International Military Tribunal states the German Navy drafted no prewar operational plan against Britain as war seemed hopeless. He notes Germany had about 20 submarines fit for Atlantic service versus Britain and France with over 100 each. Wagner says the Kriegsmarine followed the 1935 London protocol, wary of enemy propaganda, and observed merchant ships repurposed as armed warships, while radar and aircraft-era detection changed U boat warfare.
