Craig WatsonHOST
Every postponement meant either accepting German strategic objectives unfulfilled or finding more fuel that simply did not exist.
Craig WatsonHOST
The Kriegsmarine added its own voice to the chorus of demands.
Craig WatsonHOST
Strike the remaining Soviet ports and vessels on the Black Sea.
Craig WatsonHOST
But doing so would strip Army Group A of its air support it desperately needed for ground operations.
Craig WatsonHOST
The Luftwaffe was equally powerless to prevent Soviet air forces from mining the Crimean Sea lanes or to stop VVS torpedo attacks on German vessels.
Craig WatsonHOST
Resupply missions were repeatedly postponed until minesweepers could clear out the routes.
Craig WatsonHOST
Kriegsmarine officers around the Black Sea lodged frequent, bitter complaints.
Craig WatsonHOST
The Luftwaffe was so chronically overstretched that it could not even prevent VVS raids on German bases in Crimea and on the Taman Peninsula.
Brad OlsenGUEST
So they got the lion's share of Nazi intelligence.
Brad OlsenGUEST
From the Kriegsmarine came these maps.
Brad OlsenGUEST
They got notebooks of the ranking officers that were in charge of sending down personnel and material.
Brad OlsenGUEST
They also uncovered quite a bit of the Nazi sciences at the time, including their concept of a hollow earth.
Chris O.CORRESPONDENT
We were keeping the British Isles alive because they were already – everybody's talking about World War II and the U-boats in World War II.
Chris O.CORRESPONDENT
And the guy that was running the Kriegsmarine in World War II was Dernick.
Chris O.CORRESPONDENT
And he was a submariner in World War I.
Chris O.CORRESPONDENT
They were doing that in World War I.
Jack MaxeyHOST
I'm reminded, actually, interestingly, between 1941 and early 1943...
Jack MaxeyHOST
The German Kriegsmarine sank, I believe my memory is correct, fully one-third of all the global tanker capacity on planet Earth.
Jack MaxeyHOST
sank it to the bottom of the sea now we're not even near that point with the uh iranians but every time you take a two million barrel ship offline that's two million barrels that can't be shipped or needs in normal circumstances another ship to be built to be able to get us up to the same sort of capacity where we were before The other thing that I think is a little bit frightening, it came out on Tuesday, that Bibi had planned to attack Iran on October 10th.
Jack MaxeyHOST
And what they're saying is that Trump talked him out of it.
Michael WeyersHOST
With it stand Kampfgruppe Brunn, a Heer Panzergrenadier unit, and 140 men of SS-Panzerjäger Abteilung 9.
Michael WeyersHOST
There are 100 Kriegsmarine personnel, a detachment of SS-Panzeraufklärungsabteilung 9, and a patrol of Nachrichten Regiment 213.
Michael WeyersHOST
Together, they form Kampfgruppe von Auwerden.
Michael WeyersHOST
Spindler commands the central section himself.
Michael WeyersHOST
It is 350 strong, with elements of SS Panzergrenadier Regiment 19 and SS Panzergrenadier Regiment 20.
Michael WeyersHOST
Behind it stands Kampfgruppe Harder.
Michael WeyersHOST
It has around 350 dismounted tank crewmen, fitters, and logistic troops of SS Panzer Regiment 9 with 100 Kriegsmarine personnel.
Michael WeyersHOST
It holds a line 270 meters long from the main railway line to the lower Rhine.
Brad OlsenGUEST
They do not like that name or the British name.
Brad OlsenGUEST
holding it there but the fact is most of the occupants of the Falkland Islands are British descent and Germans but they now multi-generational Germans that live there um but they uh I think they like their own form of government but I was I did find some really interesting information about the German colonies there you asked me that at the beginning of the interview said at the end of World War II, the Soviets were the first to capture several of the high-ranking Nazi buildings in Berlin, including the Annenerbe Society and the naval Kriegsmarine headquarters.
Brad OlsenGUEST
They discovered that two German naval bases had been established on the western Falklands and the south Georgia islands.
Brad OlsenGUEST
And that's exactly where these two branches of vessels went to.
Brad OlsenGUEST
Port Howard, they renamed it Bergensdorf, is home to about 500 German families.
Brad OlsenGUEST
The island of South Georgia is home to about 100 German families who arrived in early 1945.
Brad OlsenGUEST
On the island of South Georgia, a garrison of the German Kriegsmarine is hidden.
Brad OlsenGUEST
About 20 German families live on the South Sandwich Islands.
John BullGUEST
yeah before the war lutyens is one of the only german and admirals who has publicly come out against hitler in the run-up to hitler become coming to power and beyond so lutyens was anti-nazi he was an incredibly good He'd served in World War I in naval combat as well.
John BullGUEST
And he was effectively able to get away with this because he was protected by the two commanders of the Kriegsmarine of the German Navy, Dönitz and Radar, because they were good friends and they knew what a good admiral he was.
John BullGUEST
And Hitler knew what a good admiral he was.
John BullGUEST
But he had repeatedly objected publicly to the treatment of the Jews in Germany.
John BullGUEST
He was just over 50 when he was Admiral in charge.
John BullGUEST
He was one of the younger admirals in Lutyens.
John BullGUEST
in the Kriegsmarine but in the film they need him to be that craggy old Nazi kind of like figure so
Jonny HenniganHOST
that's what he is in the film I don't understand why because with we've got Captain Jonathan Shepard Kenneth Moore's character the guy that this is loosely based on or that played that role in real life was like Ralph Edwards or something like that right like Rab or whatever yeah Rab Edwards yeah Why didn't they just rename Lutyens? Because they've, as you said, in your words, have done dirty on him.
JoeHOST
I'm sorry.
JoeHOST
That's ridiculous because maybe, maybe if he talked to his generals, maybe if he talked to his Kriegsmarine and they'd said, "Look, we expect the Americans are going to attack us at some point quite soon anyway, so you might as well just do it," then I'd give him a bit more credit.
JoeHOST
But he's come up with this decision on his own.
JoeHOST
He's just thought about it hard and he's gone-
Giles BrownHOST
... they're in Norway, and they set off to...
Giles BrownHOST
If it's a Beaufort, they're setting off to bomb the, the Kriegsmarine up there.
Lorraine EvansGUEST
