This picture really puts in perspective just how big these were.

    Right? I always think of submarines as small and cramped, and while they are certainly cramped, they're not generally small. Lot of machinery goes into those beasts.

    I might be misremembering, but I thought U-boats were known for speed and maneuverability. So I thought they'd be smaller for sure.
