Couldn't even imagine how terrifying it would be to be a merchant sailor during this time. Middle of the ocean, no other ships in sight, then suddenly the ship in front of you gets split in half by a torpedo and you know somewhere out there a U-Boat captain is looking at you through a periscope getting ready to give the same order.
@@Gay_Nigga_Hoodmoments 3 out 4 never came home. If your on a ship there is a chance you can jump off, cling to debris or get away in a boat and get rescued. It might only be a slim chance but you have one, if a u-boat gets hit while its submerged there is no chance everybody dies. Imagine sitting in a steel tube listening to the sounds of destroyers passing overhead then the deafening explosions as depth charges go off bouncing your boat around like a cork for hours on end, everytime you think you’ve gotten away they come again bang, bang, bang until something breaks. The water rushes in, you can’t stop it, the boat sinks and all you can do is wait for the end. That happened to a relo of mine. Only he was lucky they were in shallow water. They hit the bottom and managed to repair the boat enough to surface. Neither option appeals to me very much.
The destructive power of those U-boats was truly awful. Can't imagine being on a ship blown up like that. War is always terrible. The engineering prowess of the Germans and skill of the U-boat crews does come across really well here. This really shows how they were worthy and scary opponents for the allied forces.

Well that tends to happen when you're a NAZI. It's not a popular idea. Unfortunately something like communism or radical Islam is, so we still have problems there.
Type VII and Type IX (albeit highly effective, initially) were essentially submersibles, not true submarines. Their efforts soon were directed primarily upon survival (from Leigh Lights, air attacks, Hunter-Killer Groups, etc), thus negating offensive effectiveness. Had the Elektroboot been introduced earlier in sufficient quantity, that may well have made a very real impact on the outcome.

Simply awesome footage I have never saw before.War is the most terrible thing people do to each other.May civilization never see another war on a world wide scale.
Fun fact - all of the periscope footage from those times was faked.There was no way to get a camera to film trough the periscope.They just filmed footage of ships sailing and getting hit and doctored the periscope lens into the image.
If information on old film-editing methods upsets you so much I will give you even more information on it.The way the lens effect was done was they had a projector play the footage of ships sailing on a wall (most were allied german ships,and the ones getting hit are training dummies,most of the german torpedo hit footage is from training) and then another man held a periscope lens prop to the image on the wall,then another filmed that with a camera,and thats how those images you see were made.
Great historical footage! It reinforces for me how incredibly accurate the film “Das Boot” was. Question: Does anyone know what type the last sub pictured was? Clearly not a Type VII or Type IX; maybe a Type XXI?

My mother (when she was a child) and her parents would see burning freighters off the coast of Long Island, NY that had been torpedoed by these U-boats. This would have been circa spring, 1942 thru spring, 1945.
Must've been scary, knowing the enemy was so close to home. I believe when this started occurring, coastal American cities would black out, shut down all lights to ensure that any Uboats would have little to no visibility during the night. Truly some dark times.
@@smokincolt6425 Actually, that's nothing compared to my Father-In-Law's "interesting" childhood in northern Italy during WWII. He witnessed aerial combat with B-25 Liberator bombers, P-38 Lightning fighters and BF ME109 fighters.

Great video. Question: there was a video several years ago, very similar if not the exact same video, but the soundtrack was different. I’d like to use it, but can’t remember the artist or song title. I think the song was called Danger… or Paranoid? Anyone recall?
Really feel for those liberty ship guys, they were huge targets that were cheaply made ships. So cheap they would split in half sometimes on their own, but America made so many of them the Germans had so few torpedoes to get all of them

I wonder how many of those men now lie in the lonely deep blackness of the sea: now silent skeletons with empty eye sockets and jaws agape, staring forever upwards towards the surface - all for the vanity of a despot!! R.I.P.
There are no skeletons at the bottom of the sea, they decompose.
@@ethanrumley8459 I know that. But during the war, they were there. You're concrete thinking is correct, but my post is what's called "poetic license" evoking emotive imagery. Get it? 👍
Dumbest questiin ever.
Heroes at the sea.
Human being cannot live together on a planet called EARTH,
Mein Onkel war U Bootmann, fiel 1944 im Nordatlantik, diese Männer haben meinen größten Respekt und meine Liebe! Es waren keine Nazis!!!!! Es waren SOLDATEN, die für ihr Vaterland gekämpft haben!
Ich empfehle allen einmal nach Heinickendorf zum U BOOT Ehrendenkmal zu fahren, ein Ort der Stille und zum Gedenken, ich war zweimal dort und werde wieder hingehen, wenn es die Zeit und die Situation erlaubt, ich liebe diesen Ort!!

Can anybody identify the escort ship guarding the convoy viewed through the periscope at 1:14, 1:49 and 1:53?
appears to be a town class destroyer
some submarine experts told me it was a german destroyer during some practice. Not a real combat footage but training the Kriegsmarine
imagine being these men, fighting to the bitter end knowing you wont be able to see your family or loved one's again and you are condemned to keep fighting even if it means death, My neighbor was a former uboat crew and he told me the horrors and times where his uboat he was on came close to death many times but they kept fighting but sadly he passed away this year
1:04 right, Erich Topp.
exactly its him.
Great video. Question: there was a video several years ago, very similar if not the exact same video, but the soundtrack was different. I’d like to use it, but can’t remember the artist or song title. I think the song was called Danger… or Paranoid? Anyone recall?
よくこんな事を命令したし命令された…
1:14 ¿destroyer and merchant?
Yes! overlapping !
Really feel for those liberty ship guys, they were huge targets that were cheaply made ships. So cheap they would split in half sometimes on their own, but America made so many of them the Germans had so few torpedoes to get all of them
well tbh u boat where kinda strong, and later in the war german ad some noice torpedo. Fat for example that where able to follow a specific patern, very usefull for convoy... ^^
accoustic torpedo for single targer where also something at that time.
@@Micropoint. U Boats were the only thing Churchill feared the most during the war. Makes sense considering he got most of his supplies from the United States
They were almost literal kamikaze boats. 80% lost.
kamikaze no, doing their job yeah.
Japanese where real kamikaze *...*
0:54 - Peter-Erich "Ali" Cremer on the left (U-333) :)
Ya mein Freund
Eerie footage 🍁🇨🇦R.I.P.
thanks 🙏 for posting this
Curiosa la imagen del ultimo submarino, no se ve ninguna normalmente de ese tipo de sumergibles .
Greyhound vs greywolf u boat ww2.
It's a propaganda movie they didn't even show German side inside of u boats how hard they try
I would rather fight the russians then serve on one of those uboats
Then you haven’t researched the comparative data very well. Your chance of survival was probably greater on a U-Boat than on the Eastern Front.
you won't have a BITCH or any LAUNCHES
There is no honor following an evil leader, whether it is Hitler, Stalin, Mao, or Trump.
Most of these guy inside u boat... Where not okay when it come to hitler, but they ad a job to do and they did it...
And lot of these guys died you know that.
@@Micropoint. ...should went against the orders....like the federal police trump is letting loose on civilians...you have the right to dispute orders......
@@wolfmansicario4482 should went against the orders.
They would have been executed then..
@@wolfmansicario4482 Says the the Antifa Soy Boi. The good ol' boys are going to kick some antifa ass ;)
Most of them fought for their land, not for Leaders. And in the end, the winner of war write the History-Books, who is the good and who is the bad. It's allways a honor, to fight for the fatherland...
Poor the neutral ships that were only on trade

The job with highest death rates ever !
true.
Kamikaze was worse
@@JohnMarrington Kamikaze was a choice at least... or most of the time *...*

amazing 2:04 7 flotilla emblem on hat :)
+MrModernwarfare12 The bull of scapa flow.
Gunther Prien?!
@@humbertoflores2545 Yes, the bull emblem was first used by Priens U-47 but it later became the emblem of the entire 7th Flotilla.
Protect the Fatherland and all Europe from communist supporters such as England and Canada. Thankyou Axis from preventing total takeover.
Que buen vídeo,fueron lo mas grandes soldados del mundo
Took a lot of balls to volunteer for Uboat duty
Brave men!
Great!
+Winterz691 I agree ^^
Rare to see a XXI in color and in video btw.
GLORIOSA ARMADA DE GUERRA ALEMANA!!!!!!!

What is that music?
Freedom fighters by Thomas Bergersen
I tuned it out.
I’d like to know how much of that was real combat footage and not training/promotional footage.
The Bastards machine gunned survivors in lifeboats and in the water covered in heavy oil.
War=EVIL NO WAR= NO PAIN. WAR=CRAzy PEOPLE> NORMAL PEOPLE=normal live . remeber Never again WAR. ALL PEOPLE = ONE WORLD NORMAL people = live+LOVE NORMAL LOVE= NORMAL WORLD
I don't understand why Uboat who saved themselves eventually dismantled them. There was one in the hands of spain, at 26 thousand euros. Instead the British went to retrieve a wreck (the 4 surviving specimen) on the ocean floor, mad.
They probably had money to waste
What's the u-boot... is more u-boots than 1 be in this video, last u-boot in video is U-2613... but What's the First?
Fluteeeeeeen
