This was a STEAM turbine that worked by the catalytic disassociation of high test peroxide, 4 Walther U-boats were built by the Kriegsmarine, the SS were not involved. Post war the technology was 'appropriated' by the British who hired Dr Walther and his team to build the power units for HMS Explorer and Excalibur. They were NOT popular and less than succesful, their crews nicknamed the boats excruciator and exploder. Both had many problems and short service lives. Modern submarines do NOT use gas turbines.

I have seen the hook line and sinker disappear but never rod, reel, fighting chair and part of the transom as well. Perhaps it was the added realism of the "Dora-Nordhausen" reference ? |

Ok you got me but there are enough Luftwaffe 46 types around here to make almost any post believable Keith |
