Nah-ah. U-boats were used by the German Navy in World War 1 before the Nazis even came into existence. U-boat is an abbreviation of underseeboote (undersea boat); the German term for submarine then, and now. German U-boats were similar to those used by other navies, although the quality tended to be a bit better than some. The submarine had been in development for a few centuries before the navies of the world began commissioning them around the year 1900. So, U-boats were not an invention, but a German development of an existing invention.

The first U-boats were constructed in Germany in 1904 for export to Russia for their war against Japan in 1904 (Russo-Japanese War 1904-1905). One of those vessels was commissioned into the German navy in 1906, U1.
