Long shot guess, but it looks like a Saphire class French sub from WW2

I would say it's Italian. Off hand I might guess Foca or Argo class.

I also thought the design looked a bit like the Italian subs but I couldnt find one that had a deck like that one.

It is, Tazzoli.


................

"The TAZZOLI is the Italian ocean-going submarine that has got the greatest number of victories (18) during the war against the merchant traffic in the Atlantic. Having sunk ships for a total of 92,983 tons, it is only second to the vessel DA VINCI that boasts a greater tonnage (120,237) of sunk ships but a lower number of successes (17)."

 She was later reconfigured to run suplies to the fareast, and I beleave the picture above shows this configuration. Loaded with suplies for Singapore she was beelaved sunk in transet.
