No real WW2 boats I'm afraid.

Only seen the "Das Boot" prop in Bavaria Studios Munich which is a 1:1 scale interior model that cannot be opened and can only be accessed through the aft torpedo room, the bow torpedo room and an access halfway through. Therefore the experience to a real sub is similar. Also had a look into U-1 in the "Deutsches Museum" also in Munich. It's been cut open, so you can't go inside but get a good impression on how damned crowded it was.

The only real boats I was inside were a Typ 206A class German uboat (U-9) in Speyer, Germany, which is much smaller than a Typ VII C.

They also have a German Mini uboat there which is hardly larger, than a torpedo.

And then there was a visit to a Russian Foxtrott in Greenwich, UK.
