True, the Jumo 205 and 207 are interesting engines indeed. I don´t know how reliable the source was, but it claimed that the 207 was being tested at 1800 hp at the end of the war. Not bad for a 17 or so litre engine!
Don´t get me wrong but it is not fair to compare slow speed two strokes to medium speed 4 strokes. I think the MAN and GW U-boat diesels should be compared to HOR, F&M and GM two strokes used in fleet boats. I am trying to locate data for the latter.
