Have a look at this video of a engine run of a WW1 MAN F6V35.
Link: [youtu.be]

Technical info:
This U-boat engine was built in 1917 by Blohm & Voss in Hamburg to operate in a German submarine. This engine however never made it into a U-boat as the war was running to an end. The engine was stored and transferred to Holland during the second World War to operate as a generator engine in a water supply company where it was producing electric power up to the 1960's.

Question: In what type of uboat used this kind of engine? UBIII?
