Ergebnis für "Das Boot" in Militär

In Deutschland spielte die Kriegsmarine über viele Jahrhunderte keine Rolle.

Da sie der britischen Marine hoffnungslos unterlegen war, favorisierte die kaiserliche Admiralität den Einsatz von U-Booten, um mit relativ geringen Mitteln eine größtmögliche Wirkung zu erzielen. Auch im Zweiten Weltkrieg spielten die deutschen U-Boote lange eine zentrale Rolle, ehe die alliierte Übermacht und neue Ortungssysteme aus den Jägern Gejagte machten.

Von Hunderten deutscher U-Boote, die im Zweiten Weltkrieg im Einsatz waren, sind nur wenige zurückgekehrt.

Der sehr persönliche Bericht des Matrosen Anton Staller lässt nicht nur den Alltag auf dem Boot mit seiner bedrückenden Enge, der ständigen Bedrohung durch Wasserbomben- und Fliegerangriffe plastisch werden.

But behind the iconic photographs and battlefield legends lies a deeper, more human story. The U.S. Marine Corps: Boot Camp to Battlefields is that story told in full—an exploration of the history, traditions, challenges, and spirit of one of the world’s most respected fighting forces.

En 1906 se lanzó el primer U-1, y en 1917, la Armada Imperial alemana ya contaba con 128 submarinos. Durante los últimos meses de la Primera Guerra Mundial, el éxito de los U-Boots parecía imparable hasta que se incorporó el avión como arma antisubmarina. Tras el tratado de Versalles, el mando alemán emprendió en secreto el rearme de sus ejércitos, proceso que se aceleró con el ascenso de Hitler al poder.
