Long detailed description of the plot: The Great Admirals of World War II volume II the Germans, written by Clay Blair, is a historical narrative that tells the story of the German naval commanders during World War II, from the beginning of the conflict until its end. This book is the second part of a trilogy, where the first part focuses on the Allied admirals and the third part on the Japanese admirals. The author presents a detailed account of the battles fought at sea, highlighting the strategies and tactics used by the German Navy, known as the Kriegsmarine, and the bravery and sacrifice of its sailors. The book begins with an introduction to the German naval history before the war, describing the development of the fleet and the strategic objectives of the Nazi regime. Then, it delves into the early years of the conflict, showing how the Germans tried to counter the British blockade of their ports and the attempts to attack British convoys. The author also describes the Battle of the Atlantic, where German U-boats sought to sink Allied merchant ships, and the air and surface battles in the North Sea and the Mediterranean. As the war progressed, the Germans began to lose ground, and the book describes the desperate measures they took to defend their territory, such as the use of suicide attacks with torpedo boats and human torpedoes, known as "Kamikaze".
