This cabin with 12 berths is identical with those of the XXI type. For the enlisted personnel onboard the self-contained rooms with a comparitively large number of berths were quite a progress from their "accomodation" on earlier submarines (shared berths along the sub's alleyways).
On WILHELM BAUER 12 petty officers lived on the right side, 8 chief betty officers on the left side. All rooms are connected to the central ventilation supply and ventilation exhaust system. Total number of berths on the type XXI: 51.
Underneath the floor the third battery room with 2 x 62 accumulator cells is situated. Exposure Time: 1/60 Aperture: f/4.0 Sensitivity: 100 ISO Focal Length: 24 mm Make: Canon Model: Canon EOS 40D
