I think you are correct in that it is a danish submarine.
German Submarines were not Nazis per say. Yes everyone in the German Armed
Forces during WWII were in the Nazi party per say (not by choice but by
default) but the german sailor was just doing his duty to country and had
little knoweldge of the bad things that the Nazi leaders were doing back on
land.

Didn’t mean to imply that. I didn’t even mention the word German. Just making
the point that a building a model of a ship from “your” side, in a time of peace
(or at least Cold War) is somehow less scary than building a model of a ship
which was involved in an actual war serving Nazi war aims.
I must admit when I hear the word “U Boat” in English it brings to mind HMS
Ulysses, Britain withstanding a naval blockade and Admiral Doenitz (spelling?)
even though I think in German it simply means submarine. This is subjectivity on
my part.
