I cant recall where I heard/read about this (I think it was some doc about Wehrmacht and some guy wanted to serve in the navy, but couldnt get in because of his sight), anywho before/early war you had to have perfect sight to get to the Kriegsmarine (not just Ubootwaffe), but as the war progressed, the requirements were lowered significantly.
