I have a tremendous amount of Respect & Admiration for the Kriegsmarine and the British Navy. The German Navy needed more time to prepare for WW II and the action that followed. I often wonder if the outcome would of been different had the Kriegsmarine begun the War with the number of Surface Ships and Submarines needed to properly engage the Allies. The Tirpitz and Bismarck will always be my favorite ships.
Type XXI U-boats, also known as "Elektroboote", were the first submarines designed to operate entirely submerged, rather than as surface ships that could submerge as a temporary means to escape detection or launch an attack
The key improvement in the Type XXI was greatly increased battery capacity, roughly three times that of the Type VIIC. This gave these boats enormous underwater range, and dramatically reduced the time spent near the surface.
1943 wurden neue UBoote konzepiert und getestet,leider reichten die Deutschen Ressorcen(rohstoffe,Personal) nicht mehr aus fuer eine erfolgreiche Wiederaufnahme der ,,Schlacht im Atlantik,,die eine Wende gebracht haette.
Da waren die ausgezeichneten U Boote der Typ Klasse XXi & XXlll,die ersten reinen Unterwasserboote der Geschichte.
Waeren diese in Massen 1944 in die Schlacht geworfen worden,haette die,,Overlord,, Operation erst gar nicht staatgefunden.
@tvain86,an American Weimar Republic is coming, and Sarath Palin is going to be our Fuhrer or maybe Hillary our Stalin. Never mind Obama, he is just to selfish to care about the future probably, or to unready to make the right decisions to save it.

I agree with you.
I think we can all be happy Hitler made those 6 or 7 large mistakes in war.
But if he had headed the Generals and the Admirals advice and waited until 1945
I fear there would have been no way of stopping the German armed forces. The technology was already about 25-30 years ahead of the rest of the world.
