Kriegsmarine Squad

The men of the Kriegsmarine were not limited to naval service. Throughout the war, U-Boat and surface ship crews were often deployed in land combat, far from the oceans they were trained to patrol. Dressed in their iconic dark blue naval uniforms or wearing grey-blue leather U-Boat gear, these sailors adapted to a new kind of warfare, showing determination and grit as they took the fight to the enemy on land. Their unexpected role gave them a distinctive presence among the German fighting forces.
