German U-boats, largely developed by Krupp, mostly without the Navy wanting or asking for them 
Krupp's Big Bertha cannon, yes named after Bertha Krupp von Bohlen
Kaiser Wilhelm II
did you know the communists actually took over Krupp factories in Essen?
they were put down by the freikorps, however
Gustav Krupp caught a case - sentenced to a fine of 100 million marks and 15 years in prison
the French occupied the Ruhr, which of course Essen is in; there was even a high-profile incident where the French shot Krupp workers
it's a great episode, check it out
