Although I was pretty sure that I have seen pics of a surrendered IXD2 with a snorkel, probably
U-873, I did not want to BS Doolar so only provided examples with references.
You know, the whole "show your work" thing
I actually started a IXD2 patrol in SH3, GWX3 (I think) but got sunk by aircraft during the breakout from the North Sea so I knew that they work on the D2 in at least some Mods.
