Believe that what they were asking after, is with regards to a "C02" scrubber... which, the Uboats did have on board.
On which, propbeanie, covered quite well, on that point:

The US had the Momsen lung, which was a "re-breather", and functioned in a similar manner, but was for use in the water. Seems to me the US had something close to ready for release by the time the end of the war came - but I am not certain of that. The problem is that you can "absorb" the CO2, but that does not replace the oxygen content of the atmosphere, unless you use the pressurized air... which was known to cause ear and nose bleeds...
