Found this submarine for sale it claims to be a world war 2 german submarine this lools like a delphin but i am not sure if it genuine or a reproduction .http://bronzecannons.net/submarine.html

Sorry but I think it must be a fake.
Most German midget submarines were developed late in World War II in an attempt to stop the Allied invasion of Europe and used later to disrupt its supply lines. As a result, the submarines mostly engaged in open water attacks rather than harbour penetration.
Have a look over here:

and go to Germany.
Have also a look here:

I seem to recall seeing something similar on the cover of magazine from the 1960's i also recall a submarine built prewar for argentina that was intended as companion piece to the neufeldt kuhnlke panzertaucher suit.perhaps the two stories got crossed .
