Arguably of all the branches of the German armed forces in World War2, only one - the Kriegsmarine (or navy) - had the ability, ultimately, to bring Britain to defeat once the immediate threat of invasion after Dunkirk had receded. Whether it was the U-Boats in the Atlantic or the great capital ships, such as Bismarck or Tirpitz, in the North Atlantic, the Kriegsmarine had the ability, through its attacks on the all-important convoy system, to starve Britain into submission. However, of the Axis forces of the period, the Kriegsmarine is perhaps the least known.
