How could U-Boats actually bring in a considerable amount of raw goods? It seems like they are already so crammed so how could they actually bring in a decent amount of anything at all? Not even to mention all the losses along along the way... it really seems like they received almost nothing in the grand scheme of thing in terms of raw goods.

[@aleksazunjic9672]

Japanese subs were fairly large and raw goods in questions were some things that Germans lacked (mica, shellac, rubber, tin, tungsten ...) . Not required in very large quantities but still valuable.

[@guyh.4553]

It depended on the class. Not all U-boats were the same. Some had large cargo spaces to carry goods.

[@ImperialistRunningDo]

Your "Milk cow" type XIV u-boats were refueling stations. They could hold a lot of cargo as well. Nevertheless, all the u-boats that sailed to Japan were type IX. Except for one, the U-234, which was the sophisticated type X. It's cargo bound for Japan included scientists, plans for a glide bomber, blueprints for the ME-262 jet fighter, and uranium. The contents must have created quite a stir when the boat surrendered before reaching Japan.

[@DjJugend]

@@aleksazunjic9672 Still they are U-Boats. Not cargo ships. No matter what the model ww2 subs weren't huge. And there wasn't a lot of space in any of them. Sure you can cram pack them and hopefully make it and bring some stuff but in the entirety of the war effort it seems so minuscule.

It is curious that Admiral Dönitz doubted the Japanese had the technical ability to produce a U-boat copy, as the Imperial Japanese Navy was building, or at least planning, the largest submarines of WWII, the I-400 class, complete with stowed seaplanes. The IJN also planned to build one of the fastest submarines during the war, the I-200 class. I can understand Dönitz' reluctance to part with 2 valuable assets, considering that he constantly complained that he needed more U-boats to isolate Great Britain. Furthermore, it would take time to produce new Japanese copies, even if they had blueprints and examples to work from, as the tools required to manufacture the copy would have to be built and calibrated first. I wonder if the Admirals dismissal of Japanese ability was made in racist ignorance, or simply because he was angry at losing the craft.

[@sc1338]

Well it’s true the Japanese were far behind western standards in many fields. It’s not racist just a fact

[@castleanthrax1833]

Was it because of technical capability, or just physical capacity (like they didn't have the industrial strength that Germany had)? I'm just asking, because they clearly had the ability to build a pretty decent surface fleet with some advanced ships (for the time).

[@robert-trading-as-Bob69]

@castleanthrax1833 Japan was a contradiction in many ways then, a mixture of modern and old. They lacked natural resources especially iron ore and oil, which lead to the expansion of the Japanese Empire. Their priority was Naval craft and Aircraft production, which they were damned good at designing and building, but at the expense of the needs of their army, which was crudely mechanized. If they concentrated their resources and abilities, they were the equal of anything out there, so yes, I agree that their production ability was not ever going to overwhelm the Allied production.

[@aleksazunjic9672]

Japanese had larger subs, but were lacking in some other technologies Germans had : 1. steel quality was worse so U-boats were able to dive deeper. 2. Japanese sonar and radar detection was worse 3. Japanese optics and torpedo computers were worse. In fact, these things are the reason Japanese wanted German subs.

[@robert-trading-as-Bob69]

@aleksazunjic9672 Yet the Japanese had two of the best torpedoes in WWII, the Type 93 and 95. The American torpedoes barely worked at first, until they FINALLY admitted there was a problem (2 years later) and set about fixing those problems. The Japanese military was full of contradictions like this. Maybe the IJN subs couldn't dive as deep due to their poor metallurgical abilities, but they made up for that in other fields, like working torpedoes and seaplane bombers on subs... but they could never reach the same productuon levels as the Allies in terms of quantity. Quality can win a battle, but quantity wins wars. The Sherman Tank is the best example of this maxim in that it wasn't the best tank of the war, but without it, we'd probably be typing this out in German.

Approx. 100 years ago, as the young, now independent Republic of Poland was trying to rebuild after hundreds of years of many occupations, came the helping hand from ... USofA. RCA made an investment in the largest radio station outside of United States called Transatlantic Radio Station in Stare Babice, just outside Warsaw. Right next to the military garrison to protect it. 6 x 120m radio towers for the receiver + 6 of the same for the transmitter. This way Warsaw Stock Exchange could play on Wall Street and vice versa. Telegrams could be transmitted etc. THE Internet of these times. When on Sept 1st 1939 Poland was attacked, pictures of the barbaric German bombardment of civilian targets were on the front pages of American Newspapers. Polish Soldiers were suppose to blow the towers off. They did not. Long story short and to the point: that's the installation Germans used to communicate with U-Boots all over the globe, via Enigma machines. Using American and Polish equipment. And they blew it up in the last days of occupation of Poland. Few Poles know this history.

I can only find 2 u-boats with the wounded badge as an emblem: U-123 and u-2506. The U-123 under Reinhard Hardegen was the first U-boat to attack off the east coast of the United States. If memory serves me, when the U-boat was first launched, the lines parted and the boat shot across the water out of control and rammed another boat in the water, taking damage. This is why they chose the wounded badge for an emblem.
