So, I'm knocking about my control room - can't live forever on that damn chart table - and I notice a tall level gauge near the controls for the bow and stern planes that seems to indicate the fore/aft angle of the sub. Got me to realizing that I don't know a lot about the actual controls and systems aboard the U-Boat.

Can anyone point me to a good web reference that talks about how U-Boats actually operate - how a real TDC works, etc.

Thanks, and good hunting to you.
