During World War II, the German Navy, known as the Kriegsmarine, had a rank structure similar to other naval forces. The main ranks included enlisted personnel (Matrose, Obermatrose), non-commissioned officers (Bootsmann, Oberbootsmann), and commissioned officers (Leutnant zur See, Kapitänleutnant, and Kapitän zur See). The highest rank was Admiral, with various grades such as Großadmiral being held by prominent leaders like Karl Dönitz. This hierarchy reflected both operational command and administrative roles within the Navy.
