However this engine never made it into a U-boat as the war was running to an end. The engine was stored en transfered to Holland during World War 2 to operate as a generator egine in a water supplying company where it was producing power up to the 1960's. It's a four stroke engine with six cilinders and a overhead camshaft. The exhaust valves are water cooled.
