Then why did they copy German technology after the war? Without the V-2 rocket you would not have reached the moon in 1969! Tell me, why are the American SABER and Russian MIG which fought against each other in the Korean War so similar to each other? Because both the Russians and Americans copied german technology. I have a friend who served on a submarine and he told me that the VII were so much better in all ways than the American subs. That a VII in the Pacific would be a dream come true for any American submariner. Well, I guess nobody can tell.

The IX-D2 HAD a snorkel. There is one IX-D2 just of the coast here in Norway and it has a snorkel (The only submarine to be sunk by another submarine when both were submerged). Another IX-D2 which was sunk near South-Africa did only run on the surface 15 minutes every day because it had a snorkel. Guys, have you ever seen Das Boot????

Okay, you changed my name. I can understand that but you must know it was just a silly joke. Sorry.
