I am looking for information about Kriegsmarine ranks, more specific; after which time a Kriegsmarine soldier could be promoted.
On http://www.uboat.net is a very detailed list about the promotion time of officers, but not about the lower ranks.
I'm looking for information from Matrose to Feldwebel/Stückmeister.
For example an Oberfähnrich Zur See:
"During the last few months before promotion to the Leutnant rank the Fähnrichs became an Oberfähnrich. In the prewar era 6 months were the norm, later on only one to three months was more common."
I have searched on the internet for this kind of information, but I am unable to find this.
Hopefully someone is able to help!
