How large was the force that Karl Dönitz surrendered?

That is an incredible amount of warships! Wow!
Thanks for bringing it up.

Anthin.

I thought it odd that there's no mention of that. Here's a list of the surface fleet --> http://www.scapamap.org/history.php

This does not include some 200 U-Boats surrendered at Harwich on 8th November --> http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-essex-29952848

Dönitz was the Grand Admiral of the Naval High Command and Reichspräsident (successor to Hitler) in Weimar/Nazi Germany who surrendered in 1945. His navy surely dwarfed that of the 1918 Imperial German Navy.

Ah yes, of course.

This is the best I can find on the subject.
