The '''Kriegsmarine''' was [[Germany]]'s Navy during [[World War II]]. It consisted of several capital ships and the infamous U-boat groups. The [[U-boat]]s were very feared and very destructive. Its codes were cracked in 1941 and was taking heavy casualties, but made new codes in later 1941 and inflicted many [[Allies]] casualties. In 1943 the last codes were cracked and all that was left of the Kriegsmarine was drawn back from the [[Atlantic Ocean]].
