Comments by "Big Blue" (@bigblue6917) on "Why The Nazis Never Built An Aircraft Carrier?" video.
Actually the Germans planned to fight the French not the British. If they planned to fight the British then U-Boats would have been much more useful. And Britain had over twenty years experience operating carriers by this time. Whereas Germany had none. Germany's knowledge of aircraft carriers and there operation was so limited as to be useless. They planned to launch their aircraft by using catapults of the type normally used to launch floatplanes off warships instead of using the aircrafts engines for takeoff from the flightdeck as the British, Americans and Japanese did. So each German aircraft would have to be moved into position, attached to the launcher and then it would be launched. You can just imagine how long it would take to get a strike strike force into the air, as well as the amount of fuel wasted by the first aircraft to be launched waiting for the rest to get airborne. By this time a British strike force would be well on its way by that time.
