Historical information

The Type XXI submarine was a groundbreaking vessel of the Kriegsmarine fleet, designed and introduced in the final years of World War II. Germany brought this type of U-boat into service in 1944, and its innovative design—featuring larger battery capacity and a hull optimized for underwater operations—was intended to revolutionize naval warfare. The Type XXI was used in combat mainly at the end of the war, but its advanced technological solutions inspired post-war submarine designs in many countries around the world.
