Kriegsmarine How do I join the Kriegsmarine?

[Jock Auld]

Guys,

Small booklet no doubt aimed at the kids about how to go about joining up. It has a war time page insert that probably simplified the process?

Hello Jock.

The war time insert advises the proper authority with which to place ones enlistment request in order to avoid delays when submitted to those not involved in such matter.

Volunteers are required to enlist for longer duration straight away.

Hi Bernhard,

What do you mean by, "Volunteers are required to enlist for longer duration straight away."?

Hi Bernhard,

Hello Paul.

In this context longer duration service obligation means commitment to several years service. Probably to be able to give accomodate a long training period necessary for some specialties with a longer time available in service to ensure " a bang for the buck". I have seen unrelated from this, signed contracts for Army longer service extending to twelve years.
