Kriegsmarine - Captured Ships

Captured Ships

The military campaigns in Europe yielded a number of captured vessels, many of which were under construction. Nations represented included Poland, Norway, the Netherlands, France, Yugoslavia, Greece, Soviet Union and Italy (after the armistice). Few of the incomplete ships were actually commissioned. Some captured not completed ships were used as block ships later in the war others were broken up.
