US vs. German subs - which was better?
Hi!
I'd like to know which Country had the better Subs, the United States or Germany?
From what I have gathered the US Fleet Boats were faster both submerged and surfaced, but the German Boats could dive deeper.
What is the maximum documented diving depth of a US and German boat respectively? I know that Kptl. Heinrich Lehmann Willenbrock took U-96 to 220 meters to evade a group of destroyers.... would this have been possible with a US sub?
But what were the other main advantages and differenences between the US and German submarines?
