As for torps not going off at a 90 degree hit, it probably hit too close down towards the keel where the hull curves under. Remember you want a 90 degree hit on a near vertical surface for the torps to reliably go off.

Just for memory, most of the nazi ammunitions were build by the people jailed in work(death) camps ...

Actually, my grand mother was jailled near Hambourg at camp Neuengamme at age 24. This camp was building "Brick" for building and bunkers.

It was one of the first camp (1942) to start building war refurbishment like guns, ammunitions .....


Some of the working Kommando put theirs lifes even more at risk by building defects ammunitions and goods.

Neuengamme was part of the torpedo building circuit ...
