Modern German Submarines

[Newinger]

The Prien Class, Hardegen Class, Schultze Class, etc. That would be a neat tribute to those German heroes.

I think this will never happen, because the relationship of current Germans to military is a bit difficult.

Many Germans don't like the military at all, and they are certainly not proud of it. They would be even less proud of WW2 war heroes -- esp. since these were the guys who fought for Hitler, even if not "real" Nazis.

I (as a German myself) tend to agree with this sceptical view, because even today we have Nazis, and there could be the danger that today's Nazis get stronger if military traditions from the past would revive.

On the other hand, I somehow like the fact that Germans still build submarines which are good enough to be exported to other countries.

Germans have a problem with themselves.
