Marineattachés der Reichs- und Kriegsmarine, 1933-1945
Content and structure area
Scope and content
Description of the holdings: In 1920 the attaché service was essentially dissolved. Between 1920 and 1933, no naval attachés were notified to German embassies abroad. From 1933 to 1945, the Kriegsmarine again sent naval attachés to the most important embassies. The majority of the naval attachés' files from 1933 to 1945 are still with the British admiralty in London. In the form of microfilms, the Federal Archives contain documents of the naval attaché in Madrid as well as fragments of files from Tokyo, Moscow and Oslo. Characterisation of content: Of the imperial naval attachés, only files of the attaché in Sofia from World War I have survived to a considerable extent. The tradition for the individual naval attachés since 1933 is very different. While for some attachés, e.g. Washington, no archives have been preserved in the holdings, for others, e.g. London, Rome, Tokyo, Moscow, Istanbul and Ankara, as well as Madrid, Lisbon, Agram and the four Scandinavian capitals, entire series of files have been preserved. The files of the naval attaché Tokyo go through the internment of the ´Personals (first by the Japanese, then by the Allies) and the handling of the office after the Second World War beyond the end of the war until 1947.
