:''This article is about Germany's commando frogmen. See also Minentaucher. For other nations' commando frogmen, and information about frogmen in general, see Frogman.'' Germany's postwar commando frogman force are called the Kampfschwimmer ("Combat Swimmers") or ''Verwendungsgruppe 3402'' (Usage Group 3402). They are the only special-purpose force of the German Navy. The Kampfschwimmer were set up when Germany joined NATO in 1955. During the existence of the GDR (East Germany), the People's Navy of the GDR also had a commando frogman force, which was stationed in Kühlungsborn. They trained at Prora on Rügen. ==History== The first German frogman commando unit was formed under the direction of Alfred von Wurzian during World War II, an Olympic swimmer originally from Austria. Wurzian was initially an artilleryman. He had to overcome a lot of hurdles to form this specialized unit as many brass types could not buy into the concept of such a specialized unit. The unit's name was Küstenjäger-Abteilung "Brandenburg". 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「German commando frogmen」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
