Hello All,
I've recently gotten interested in the surface war during WWII with regards to the Germans. What I am in really interested in is the development of German Raider strategy in the 1930s. What was the plan for raiding at sea when friendly ports were non-exisitant? What about resupply at sea?
Does anyone know any good sources for this topic?
Cheers,
German Raider Strategy

Re: German Raider Strategy
Heres a really good article on the development of German naval strategy. I include several sites for the same article because some may ask you to sign up to get the article, which you may not want to do. But the first site has the complete pdf, along with maps and diagrams.
