WOW for the submarine bay! but.... what is that 'rudder' just behind it?

[TimothyC]

So the water has some place to go when the sub 'swims out' under it's own power.

YES!
BTW the sub bay isn't sealed and it would be necessary to a suitable way-out for the water...
And so i fugured a double rudder able to manage it. Moreover it would be possible to run the Uboot propeller and the rudders would act as a bow thruster...

1.) No. Strictly speaking this ship was never designed beyond table napkin sketches either done to appease Hitler or by Hitler himself, because only Hitler himself seriously believed such a ship can be built.

2.) probably

Hitler didnt like the navy that much as the land/air force.
Because he was himself an infantryman. And somebody in his family flew in the air force.
Hitler thankfully also disliked chemical weapons.(Germany had many of them in WW2!)

This all is because of his self experience, weird guy.

yes he was one of a kind. TY for the info kladldsf.
