Aircraft carrier Graf Zeppelin
Graf Zeppelin is a German aircraft carrier, the only aircraft carrier of Nazi Germany. Launched in 1938. The ship was named after the German airship designer Count Zeppelin.
By the beginning of the war in 1939, the ship had reached 85% readiness. At the end of April 1940, the completion work was stopped at the suggestion of the Commander-in-Chief of the Navy. By this time, artillery and electrical equipment were not fully installed, and there was also no flight technical equipment. The ship was taken to Stettin. In 1942, by order of Hitler, work resumed. Hull works and installation of machines were completed on it, but due to the uncertainty of the timing of the development and production of flight equipment, the work was stopped by Hitler's personal order on January 30, 1943.Â
During the offensive of the Soviet troops on April 24, 1945, by order of the senior naval chief Stettin V. Kaler, a special team blew up the charges installed on the ship at 18:00. As a result, the main turbines, electric generators and airplane lifts turned out to be unsuitable for restoration, and the Graf Zeppelin hull leaked, and the ship lay on the ground.Â
In 1947, according to the agreement between the member states of the anti-Hitler coalition on the distribution of the fleets of Germany, Japan and Italy, the aircraft carrier was to be destroyed. It was used as a target and sank at a depth of 250 meters near the Polish coast.
