The XXI, as advanced as it was, just doesn't appeal to me. A footnote in WWII history yet changed the face of sub design. That should appeal, but strangely, it doesn't. Weird.
I think of tech that *almost* changed the face of WWII. The XXI, the V2, the ME262, the German jet-powered flying wing (can't recall the name), the Stg. 44, German nuclear weapons research...can you imagine if those were all front line equipment in '39?
A handful of years then may have seen a *much* different geo-political environment now. Most folks in the general populace really don't know how *close* the WWII arms race was...
