    Searching for information on Walter u-boats - Searching for information on Walter u-bo

    I would like to find information on the Walter U-boats of WW2. These where powered by hydrogen peroxide. The subs in question are the V80, V300, Wa201, Wk202, type 17b, type 22 and the type 26w. I think I have them right but if not any information would be appreciated. I know after the war the British, Americans and the Russians experimented with them. The British even went on to build two subs the HMS Explorer and the HMS Excalibur to advanced Walter designs.

    I have Rossler's book on German history of the Uboats and he gives some detail to these submarines. Are there any other books, archives or websites that give more information?

      http://uboat.net/
      look

      have you tried the
      The U-boat War in World War Two (1939-1945) and World War One (1914-1918). Over 30,000 pages on the officers, the boats, technology and the Allied efforts to counter the U-boat threat.

      look under boats at the top of the page, look in the article section..
      go to the discussion forums and check the tech forum..

          Yep thanks for the info.

          Yep thanks for the info. I the two websites contain some information but not much. The book info lead me to more books on the Walter design subs. I will see if I can get them locally.
