The German surface fleet was no longer a significant force by then. Most of their heavy ships had been sunk and the remainder were confined to ports on Germany's North Sea coast. Allied air supremacy and sea power made it impossible for Germay's few remining ships to sally forth. Allied air power also denied Germany use of the French ports. Thus, even if their ships had wanted to leave port, they were much too far away to do anything about it.

Why didn't hitlers soldiers rebel against him?
Hitler used a powerful weapon called propaganda on not only the German soldiers but all of Germany. Hitler promised Germany that they would rule the world for thousands of years to come if they could defeat the allied campaign in the western and eastern fronts. So when the tied of the war turned in both fronts, the Normandy Landing in the West and the recaptureing of Stalingrad in the East many German generals figured out they couldn't win the war. There were many assassination attempts on Hitler by German officers and other high profile men. One of which nearly took the life of Hitler. So the name of your question should be why didnt ALL of hitlers soldiers rebel against him because some German soldiers did.

How did World War 2 stem from World War 1 and the Great Depression?
from ww1 to ww2After WW1 the allied put great barriers on how Germany was allowed to operate, this essentially put alot of strain on the German economy, putting them into a depression. This, ofcourse led to poverty, and since alot of people in Germany never actually noticed the war that much, they didnt think they had lost and they had a feeling of being robbed by the allies. Hitler took advantage of this and created a new hope, he then assumed power and started building the country up. He also started building up the military which was one thing the allied was supposed to not let them after WW1. Since the German people now had someone that could lead them and now they also felt powerfull and times where changing Hitler was allowed more power. This is more the short version of what happened.
