That first link was great, showing the Finnish boat. Thanks.
Unfortunately, the second link has a cutaway of a type II . . . which looks like it was taken directly from the Silent Hunter III game!

Turns out it was made in 1933 (two years before the type IIs rolled out) and was made with another Finnish boat, the Iku-Turso, a Vetehinen class submarine, not a Vesikko class boat which more or less became the Type IIA.
Though it did point me to find a new page (
http://www.dutchsubmarines.com/pictu...land_class.htm) that has a small diagram of a Vesikko class with cutaway section, and some pictures of the Vesikko I hadn't seen. I like the note that the four bunks in the stern quarters were more for punishment than a place to sleep.
Wow, this thread is turning into a repository of all type II information available on the web (which ain't much).
