<HTML>Hi Les
I will try an answer your question....I hope it will help.?
In 1935 Germany repudiated the term of the Tready of Versailles that had ended her part in WWI, and this included provisions of a ban on German submarine construction at that time. The repudiation had forced the rapid negotiation of an Anglo-German agreement which allowed Germany to build U-boats again with a total displacement no greater than 45% of the submarine force operated by the
British Royal Navy. Karl Dönitz, was the commander of the German U-boat arm at the time. He did divide this total tonnage into the numbers & types of U-boats that would provide the basic of an effective U-boat force for the German Navy.
One of the first requiresments Dönitz needed was that for a coastal submarine which would be roughly equivalent to the "UB" classes that was operated very successfully in British waters during WWI. These German U-boats design were based on a combination of features used in WWI. That is the reason Dönitz maintained a WWI design for the U-boat Building Policy of 1935-1939.
