For a country that has very little coastline, Germany has been very innovative with the sea. As a non-expert boat sailor historian, I often wonder how WW II (or WW I for that matter) wold have turned out had we had to fight the German Kreigs Marine in the Pacific instead of mostly the Atlantic. Something tells me that if those fighters were in warm waters - oh boy. Just my take. Great picture though.
