Does anyone have any information about foreign born volunteers in the kriegsmarine. I have checked uboat.net and have found that there was several commanders that were foreign born from London, one from New York, South Africa ect. Interested in the reasons that the joined. Was it because of nationalistic pride? Political reasons? Were they in German territories and forced to join?
