The Nazi would need a U-boat in order to escape the war, and not just any boat stealthy long-range U-boat. They had something long range, they just needed something stealthy.
The Germans already had U-boats that could travel that far, the IXC/40. They just needed something stealth. U-boats were pretty stealthy, but they needed something that was not being tracked. This would be a job for U-518. U-518 was a type IXC/40 U-boat and was claimed to be sunk already in April of 1945, by a hedgehog. This kill was recorded by USS Carter and USS Neal A. Scott. There was just one problem, no wreckage has been found. It was still recorded as a kill, so the allies stopped looking for it.
Because it was not being searched for it would make for an even stealthier ship. This would make it an ideal vessel for smuggling out Hitler.
