This is a very interesting thread.
I see a two way problem
1. Is a sub who was a part of the Kriegsmarine a Nazi-sub during WWII? indeed it was.
2. Was the crew Nazi's? maybe some of them, not every one though.
The crew followed order and did what they had to do and they did their best as they have learned.
My father is dead and thereby having lost contact with families on my father side. Some of his cousin made their service in the German navy during the WWII.
I would have asked them if they saw them self as a Nazi, now that they was on a Nazi, vessel.(Wonder how many of them is stil alive)
I can't predict what kind of answer I would get from them.
