I have read a number of books on this subject and own more than a few. It is a subject I know something about and your not hearing of the problems of water getting into the air intakes of the Schnorchel tells me more than anything, that you don't have any background or listen to a logical explanation as to how it happens.
Also you haven't mentioned the main advantage that the Germans had over all other navies, namely that they could dive a lot deeper than any other navy. Almost twice the depth of most submarines.
If you had anything like the knowledge your postings imply, it would have been the first thing that you would have raised.
I strongly reccomend that you read Iron Coffins written by Herbert A Werner ISBN no 0-304-35330-2. He served in U-Boats from 1941 to the end of the war. All the points I have raised are covered in one way or another and its an insight into the battle, the people and how they lived and died.
Re Electric engines for silent running All submarines had engines for silent running.
Alberich was only fitted to one U-Boat that is a fact plain and simple.
