Historical Information

Type XXIII U-Boats were designed by Germany for the Kriegsmarine as compact and modern hunting units with diesel-electric propulsion. They were the first small submarines adapted for full-scale underwater operation without the need for frequent surfacing. Used mainly by the Third Reich in 1944–1945, at the end of World War II, during the defense against Allied invasion and sabotage operations in coastal waters, including the North Sea, the Baltic Sea, and the Bay of Biscay area. They were famous for their maneuverability and modern technical solutions, despite being limited by a small torpedo supply and short operational range.
