Diversification

With the war looming, Blohm+Voss diversified into building warplanes and submarines in the 1930s and delivered the infamous German warship Bismark, which was the biggest European warship of the time. Recovery for Blohm+Voss was slow following the war, and they made a few different products, including oil-rigs.
