Great pictures.. the U-Boat with the nice skyline would make a great Intro screen [that's a hint to those Modders out there as I don't know how to do it !]

I'm amazed at how many of those pictures I've seen before, but since they were from black & white books I never knew the originals were in color.

The type XX1 so advanced in fact (especially with its modular design and construction), that it was used as a template for many post-war subs.

..... come to think of it, some housing in the UK is done the same way now too. Pre-fabricated rooms, that get stuck together on site, to build the house.

It is my belief that Germany had the most advanced military and that practically all other countries toke their ideas from there on. May it be in submarines warfare, aircraft technology, tanks (mobile warfare), infantry weapons and equipment, etc. Except for the A-Bomb.

Disagree ? tell me why.

Well, on one-to-one, I believe they, then, could have pulverized everybody.

...If it weren't for some Norwegan commandos who went behind enemy lines and destroyed the German's A-bomb facility
