I think they were simply removed when the boat put to sea.

Hi, thanks for your reply, ive recently read a report by the allies on a type IX-C incorprating comments about type XXI, where it briefly mentions retractable handrails, twist and turn, & drop type but was unclear as to which submarines where fitted with them.

All the Best Chris
