Alan's YouTube on the WWI U-Boot motor prompted me to dust off my 1922 facsimile copy of a comprehensive
Germaniawerft analysis of WWI submarine development, Fascinating was the trial and error of previous engines
utilized prior to the Diesel. Four and Two stroke petrol engines that seem larger than the one portrayed in an
effort to squeeze more power from MAN, FIAT and Koertin. Twin units up to eight cylinders, Regret doesn't
give the bore and stroke. Have/had original text of 'Das Boot" and a photo album of the making of the brilliant
movie, though the novel is full of succinct submarine jargon hard to translate. Haynes Manuals publishes a superb
guide to the 1936-1945 VIIC easy to find in UK. Finally, check the #36 copy of 'After the Battle' magazine of the
Royal Navy deposing surrendered U-Boots in 1945 off the coast of Scotland, mMny brand new that had not served
a mission
