<HTML>Admiral Raeder ordered a court-martial investigation which found out that the construction of the fuses were not be done carefully and that there was only unsufficient experimentation before the war.

The German Navy was already short in financal resources, so it was not easy to realise in peace the exact war conditions.

To fire a live torpedo on a real target is even an enormous cost for a big navy.

That\'s why certainly the US Navy had the same problems as the German. the torpedos run to deep, the magnetic ignition worked to early or not at all and the impact ignition was even worse than the German.

Admiral Riedel one of the responsible officer in the German naval arms office suicided.
