i wish i served on a u-boat

Did Germany's navy even... do anything during World War II? This is coming from a The Great Game caca by the way, in the sense that I only really care about pre 1900s colonial history. I mean, they had the Bismarck, right?

Their submarines posed a large threat towards British supply boats for the earlier parts of the war. Besides that, I'm pretty sure that their navy (what was left of it bureaucratically, at least) could technically be considered as having led the German Reich during its very last days, as the supreme naval commander Karl Donitz succeeded Claus as Fuhrer following his death until the government's full and official surrender a few weeks later.

Thank you for telling me.
