Scope and content
History of the Inventory Designer: Created on 15.2.1916 at the Admiralstab as a collection point for files from the naval area. The Marine Archives emerged from the collection point. The tasks of the War Science Department included the preparation of a naval warfare book on the First World War, the collection of official documents, evaluation of the naval war 1942-44, and the history of the Reich and war machine. The war science department of the Navy was ultimately under the command of the chief of naval warfare. Description of the holdings: On 15 February 1916, the War Science Department was created at the Admiralstab and assigned, among other things, the task of collecting files from the naval area, from which the naval archive emerged. Its most important tasks consisted in the work on the naval warfare work on the First World War, the official records collection 1928-1937, the evaluation of important events of the naval war 1942-1944 and the series "Taktik" 1939-1941 comprising eight issues. On 22 January 1936 the naval archives received the name Kriegswissenschaftliche Abteilung der Marine (at the same time research institute). It was last subordinated to the Chief of Naval Warfare and was divided into three groups for general business operations and the Naval Archives, for the descriptive processing of war events and research work on the official naval warfare work from 1939, finally for the conclusion of the naval warfare work 1914-1918 and the presentation of the history of the Reich Navy and Navy up to the beginning of the Second World War.

Characterisation of the contents: The collection mainly comprises announcements and current orders from November 1918 to March 1945, as well as preliminary work and drafts for the naval warfare work "Der Krieg zur See 1914-1918", including in particular materials for the volumes "Der Krieg in der Nordsee" VII, "Der Krieg in der Ostsee" III, "Der Handelskrieg mit U- Booten" III and IV, which did not appear until 1945, and collected reports on the 1918 revolution.
