Karl Dönitz was a German admiral known for his significant role in naval history during World War II. He demonstrated strategic prowess in the Imperial German Navy by developing the concept of U-boats operating in attack groups for increased efficiency. As Supreme Commander of the Navy, he led the Kriegsmarine’s U-boat arm and was a prominent adversary of Allied naval forces in the Battle of the Atlantic. Following a brief period as head of state after Hitler, Dönitz was tried as a major war criminal at the Nuremberg trials.
