Default What if Hitler scrapped the surface Navy fleet in 1934?
Hitler scrapped the surface Navy fleet in 1934. No more ships were built but Hitler allowed the U-Boats to be built up, after the victory of 1940 the Navy personnel clicking there heels were now put to work in Fortifying Europe. And all that lovely metal that was earmarked for a surface fleet went on Tanks and Coastal guns along with some more U-Boats.

Basically Hitler's plans lay in a war on land, and what is the point building up a surface fleet that could not really challenge the Royal Navy.
