After, their service in the French Marine Corps. recruits go through 20 weeks of evaluation and commando training.

Kampfschwimmer
History= "Lerne leiden, ohne zu klagen! (Learn to suffer without complaint!)"

- Kampfscwimmer Motto



Germany's postwar commando frogman force are called the Kampfschwimmer ("Combat Swimmers") or Official Usage Group 3402. They are the only special-purpose force of the German Navy. The Kampfschwimmer were set up when Germany joined NATO in 1958. During 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. The Kampfschwimmer were set up particularly because Germany joined NATO and there was felt to be risk of war with the Soviet Union. A unit was needed which could help to secure the Baltic Sea exits through the Danish Straits. On 1 August 1958, Group 3402, as these commando frogmen were called by the navy, was set up. It consisted of men without a Nazi past, who had served in World War II in the small combat forces and the naval employment commands. The first Kampfschwimmer were trained first with the Nageurs de combat in France. France had developed the role of the commando frogmen further in the Indochina war, to the modern single fighter. The Kampfschwimmer should carry out their tasks both in the water and ashore, like German commando frogmen did the first time as an independent body. In the following years they extended their tasks, but lacked money. Thus in World War II. But now a new dimension was added: Air. This three-role concept of the French became the basis of the commando frogmen of the German navy. On 1 April 1964, the Kampfschwimmer appeared for .g. they had to buy their own drysuit undersuits.
