Nuremberg, 1946 — the world watches as Nazi Germany’s most powerful men face justice. Once the Grand Admiral of the Kriegsmarine, Erich Raeder helped Hitler wage war across Europe and the seas. From the Battle of Jutland to Operation Weserübung, he commanded fleets that carried the Nazi flag into battle. But at Nuremberg, Raeder stood not as a commander, but as a criminal. Accused of aggressive war, war crimes, and crimes against humanity, his life sentence marked the end of a man who once ruled the oceans in Hitler’s name.
Discover how one of Germany’s most decorated admirals became a symbol of moral collapse and military complicity.
