Germany did not build an aircraft carrier during World War II. Why?

During World War II, Germany's military level was the highest in the world, and there was no comparison between the United States, Japan and Germany. At that time, because Germany and Japan only wanted to rule the world, it was an absolute joke to us today, but it seemed almost possible at that time, so Germany's military strength was still very strong.

Germany and Japan are strategic countries. Japan put the battlefield in Asia and Germany put the battlefield in Europe. Actually, this is easy to understand. Europe is more powerful, so Germany's strength has also been exaggerated. Germany did not build an aircraft carrier during World War II because Germany was not very strong in the naval field, and Germany focused on developing submarines in the naval field from the beginning, so it ignored the aircraft carrier.

Another point is that building an aircraft carrier requires huge investment, because Germany is waging wars and aggression all over Europe, so the military expenditure is huge. If an aircraft carrier is built, the pressure on military spending will be even greater. The key to building an aircraft carrier is not just as simple as imagined. There are many supporting facilities around an aircraft carrier, such as cruisers, frigates, reconnaissance ships, etc., which are not small expenses.

The main reason is that the Germans put all their strength on armored infantry, because they can conquer the world without fighting at sea. If it weren't for the fact that the Germans were in the Soviet Union and couldn't fight alone in the cold climate, perhaps the world pattern today would have changed a lot. In the final analysis, we should thank the two atomic bombs in Hiroshima.
