In January 1940 the Marinegruppe of the Militärärztlichen Akademie in Berlin was moved to Kiel and made an independant Marineärztliche Akademie. It was made subordinate to the Inspektion des Bildungswesens der Marine (B.J.). In 1941 the Akademie was moved to Tübingen. In early March 1941 Kompanien stationed in Freiburg im Breisgau formed the 2. Abteilung (Reserve Officer Applicants). In Tübingen 3 Kompanien were used to form the 1. Abteilung (Active Officer Applicants) with the Kommandeur der Marineärztlichen Akademie acting as the Kommandeur der 1. Abteilung. In the spring of 1943 a forth Kompanie was formed in Straßburg for active officer applicants and in November 1943 further Kompanien were formed. In the Autumn of 1944 the Kompanien in Straßburg were withdrawn to Tübingen. In Vienna in May 1944 a 4. Abteilung (for reserve officer applicants) was formed but by the years end of 1944/45 it was dissolved again. In the last weeks of the war the Marineärztliche Akademie became a Marinelazarett with the Chefarzt becoming the Kommandeur der Akademie.
