A Study On The Reconstruction Of The German Navy From 1919 To 1939

With the end of the first World War,the German Navy suffered a devastating blow,the elite high seas fleet in Scarpa Bay was destroyed,and the punitive restrictions in the Treaty of Versailles put heavy shackles on the reconstruction of the German Navy.However,the German Navy is still actively promoting the reconstruction work.Through planning the future development strategy of the Navy,reorganizing personnel,formulating new training and training plans,secretly carrying out equipment research and development,and under the restrictions of the peace agreement,remanufacturing new warships,and formulating ship building plans and many other activities,the reconstruction process of the German Navy in the Weimar government period is difficult,and it has been short of funds for a long time However,through unremitting efforts,the German Navy is still gradually recovering its vitality,and its strength has been restored and developed in an orderly manner,and it has regained a certain position for itself.After the Nazi government came to power in 1933,the German Navy was bolder in getting rid of the constraints and began to expand its forces on a large scale.The scale of the fleet was further expanded,and the quality of its personnel was improved day by day.The signing of the British German naval agreement made it possible for the German Navy to expand its forces on a large scale.After it became possible to take the British Navy as the enemy,the German Navy made the largest shipbuilding plan "Z plan" in its history.However,due to the limitations of the Nazi government’s "land before sea" policy,the heavy burden of the German economy under the background of large-scale expansion of the army and the changes of the international situation,the urgently needed peace time for the reconstruction of the German Navy is less and less.Although the German Navy is in a hurry to make operational plans,strive to promote its own construction,expand its scale and strength,it is difficult to build a naval fleet that can cope with the war and complete its own predetermined plans before the outbreak of World War Ⅱ.The 20-year reconstruction of the German Navy ended with the outbreak of World War Ⅱ.
