Default Air supply in U-boats (again)

I have received fresh information from my friend, a former U-boat officer, concerning use of compressed oxygen.

This link contains the original information, and subsequently the new information:

Unfortunately, it appears that no one really knows the answer today, despite my friend's searches in Germany. However, he is clear that - under normal circumstances - it was depletion of U-boat batteries that caused the U-boats to surface, not depletion of oxygen.
