    The K-Verband This is the research of Graham Pickles, Webmaster and owner of “The Hemlington Nautical History Society” (http://www.freewebs.com/graham7760/). …The swift raising of a completely novel unit, equipped with completely new kinds of arms.-Grand Admiral Karl Donitz, 1914 Germany was the last of the powers to enter the belligerent powers to enter the fields of midget submarines. In theory this gave the Germans a position of some advantage in that they could learn a good deal from the experience of their Italian and Japanese allies together with whatever intelligence they had gained of British operational methods and material. However. Despite the efforts of there allies in this field and the known threats imposed by the British. It was not until the end of 1943 that the Kriegsmarine began a serious investigation of the subject. Even then, it was threat of invasion which provided the stimulus rather than any desire to take the offensive against the Royal Navy. They had however, been two attempts to interest the Kriegsmarine in midget submarines prior to 1943. In October 1941 professor Drager of the Dragerwerk Company submitted a paper to OKM in which he proposed the construction of midget submarines with displacement of 120 tons. Drager foresaw these crafts been used in the defence of the European coastline, to support the VP-Boote and for use in mercantile cruisers. Drager’s midget was a torpedo like craft powered by a diesel motor using nitrogen injection; He believed that his craft would be of considerable value in the waters surrounding the British Isles and in the Mediterranean, where there small size would make them difficult to spot.

  • Japanese Midget Submarine Attack in Sydney Harbour on 31 May1942
    OCCASIONAL PAPER 12 August 2017 The Naval Historical Society of Australia PERSONAL EXPERIENCES: AFTERMATH OF JAPANESE SUBMARINE ATTACK: SYDNEY HARBOUR The following are accounts of individual contributions made by two remarkable people in the aftermath of the Japanese midget submarine attack in Sydney Harbour on 31 May1942. Actions by these two brave individuals at significant risk to themselves ensured others were protected as the damaged midget submarines were recovered and ordnance rendered safe. The first account is that of Able Seaman William Herbert Brian Marr who dived on a Japanese midget submarine. His typed report on the dive was provided by his nephew ex Leading Seaman Radio Operator Peter Goodchild. The second account is that of the efforts made by Mr Frank Lindgard a highly experienced and valued torpedo Fitter employed in the RAN Gunmounting & Torpedo Depot Garden Island. Diving on Japanese Midget Submarine M22 By Able Seaman H.E.B. Marr This is an unpublished episode which occurred during salvage operations carried out by naval divers from the Royal Australian Navy on two Japanese Midget submarines which were recovered from Sydney Harbour in June 1942. There were five Naval Divers employed in the operation and their names were, Spencer, Bullard, Coots, Marr and Martin. We were finishing off the construction of the submarine net, spanning the main entrance of the harbor when the Midget subs came in. We had left after a days work and the subs came in during darkness. The net was to protect warships at anchor and merchant shipping moored at wharves. One submarine was caught in the net and it blew itself up.
