The usual WWII sub crew was around 70-90, depending on which nation it belonged to. They were very cramped, and only a few more could be crammed in, if necessary. Both the US and Japan had built a few subs which were considerably larger than the standard fleet submarines, and these might be used to carry a few more. One of these large US subs (I believe it was the Nautilus) was used to ferry the Marine Raiders to and from their commando-style attack on Makin Atoll.

With that said, many large and long range German submarines only held a crew of 50 or less.
