Hi captains...
I make my way 1/3 to the first Book "The Hunters" of Clay Blair and...
...beside of the giant torpedo problem I noticed another big problems of the Kriegsmarine:
I read more than 30 times that german submarines must cancel the patrol because dame to the diesel engines.
Was the diesel engines at this times so unreliable? I mean they did not make high rpm and have a own engineer who nurse them all the time....
Anybody know what the problem was? Valves, Pistons or overheating???
Todays 6-cylinder Diesel engines in a bick truck make often more than 500.000 miles....
Enlight me, gentleman
Andreas
