Hello everyone,
I was hoping you guys might be able to help me out regarding a question on the Imperial German Navy (Kaiserliche marine - not Reichsmarine, as given in the title to this thread). I am doing some research on officers and would like to know who and what exactly was the rank of the executive officers (or first officers) of German warship captains? Suppose a naval admiral was on a ship in 1912 - who would he be delegating his orders to?
Any books or articles that may also help clarify these matters would be especially welcome and appreciated! :smilie
