Upcoming XXI design video - Any factual mistakes?

Hey guys

I have an upcoming video on the type XXI design and wanted to get some more eyes on the facts I have included. 99% of it comes from books, but in any case your validation would also be appriciated.

Im down to pure polish at the moment so I expect to premier it soon...

Interesting, will look at it this evening.
If i do it now at work, Eichhörchen might interfere

Hello again,
just watched it two times, and i think it is done quite well

For me it is a bit brief in some aspects, but the information is correct and nicely put together. Hans Techel is seldom mentioned, so this was a nice surprise.

Those special smaller and specially "rafted" silent engines engines would be called "Motoren für Scheichfahrt" like "engines for silent running". So i am not sure whether creep or crawl engines is the correct description, it somehow sounds a bit strange - but everyone will know what you mean anyway.

Are you doing this completely privately, or is this some work for a study/education project?

Nice video

Did you read Clay Blair's comments about that model and were you able to get access to the USN's evaluation report?

Nicely done.

Hey.
No I think I missed that comment, but I will have a look for it.
I did use some parts of the USN evaluation report - great stuff!

Nice video

Hey

Thanks for watching !
The audience is not meant to be people with a great deal on insight already but more the general public, thats why there is a limit to the details.
The creeper motors were named so in my source material.
The video is just for my YouTube channel 🙂
