The information from U-boat.net is not complete. Some type IXD2's were also fitted with snorkels. U-873 was actually surrendered to the United States with its snorkel intact.

Although I was pretty sure that I have seen pics of a surrendered IXD2 with a snorkel, probably U-873, I did not want to BS Doolar so only provided examples with references.

You know, the whole "show your work" thing

I actually started a IXD2 patrol in SH3, GWX3 (I think) but got sunk by aircraft during the breakout from the North Sea so I knew that they work on the D2 in at least some Mods.
