I am looking for a link but I can't remember where I saw it... but when I first got interested in u-boats I read an article online about the Reichsmarine/Kriegsmarine and it listed the requirements (during that era) for enlisting in the German Navy.

I specifically remember that having normal or better vision without the need for prescription lenses was one of the requirements.

The other one that stuck in my mind was "good dental health."

Damn, I wish I could remember what site I read that at. I want to say it was either Wikipedia or uboat.net but I can't find it at either place.

Someone else here may be able to link to a reference.
