Unlike other navies, the German Kriegsmarine did not have many special designed escort vessels. The only class that got operational were the ill-fated Flottenbegleiter, which proved not to be very useful ships. Although some new designs were planed none of those were completed.
Therefore, several other ships were used as escort vessels, mine hunters, torpedo boats or various captured ships, the so called "Schnelle Geleitboote". They were a mixture of different ships, escort vessels, torpedo boats, even transports or passenger ships that could fulfill the requited task only very limited.
