Enough monthly steel to produce 191 facilities capable of producing 14-33 uboats per month

The facility used 12000 forced laborers, how many died is not clear. Let's assume it's 3000, a fourth. The Reich had 6mio forced laborers at max. You could build 500 facilities with that in two years. Assuming they had enough laborers from 1941 onward that would be 500 facilities in the first run and 375 in the second (because one fourth of laborers died). For fun I calculated how much you could build until you run out of laborers. Turns out you can go for about 20 turns (40 years) until your production drops to only 1 facility per turn. That leaves you with around 1950 facilities built.

You don't know how lucky you guys were that Spain was neutral. We had THREE (3) battleships belonging to the almighty class ESPAÑA (spain). Since they were just 3 it was very hard for the enemy to actually find one and even if he did they were the smallest, and therefore hardest to hit, dreadnoughts ever built. Also the turret placement was super cool. Tremble in fear!

Blohm & Voss, Hamburg
224 commissioned U-boats
224 ÷ 5 = 12 per year 3.73 commissioned uboats per month
I'll use 4 uboats a month for a uboat facility modeled after blohm and Voss Hamburg facility
What do you think

I would like some sources if you find any of amount of workers that worked in blohm and Voss facility during ww2

Yes, apparently it was between 14,000 and 16,399. So using every single forced laborer in the Reich you could run around 400 of those. That's not considering what you need to build them because I don't know.

14,000 workers per facility producing 4 uboats a month consuming 3,040,000 kg of steel per month for 4 uboats
160 facilities equivelant to blohm+Voss would need 2,240,000 workers to produce 640 uboats a month Germany had 70 million internal workers not counting army personnel as well as possible ally workers and pows.
Monthly German steel production is 3.5 billion kg, ea uboat class VII is around 760,000 kg, I would need more information on amount of steel needed to build an equivelant facility to blohm + Voss Hamburg

I don't really know how to find information on that. Probably it would be less than the 20,000 tons I said earlier because this facility was not as heavily armored.

germany was ruled by anglophobes from the imperial navy who had moronic ideas about geopolitics
