    The problem with the title is that it can be interpreted two ways, but most readers, including myself, read it as a trap set by the allies, but the trap was just the typical U-boat trap to catch allied shipping. And it should not read 'Entire' fleet as that is just wrong

    Have we run out of WWII stories and are now just making things up? There was no allied trap that destroyed Germany's entire U-Boat fleet ever and even in this story about this one convoy the "facts" about the battles don't even make sense. How many U-Boats were involved in the attack of this convoy? It started with about 60 then 50 then about 20 then 40! These are well known historical facts! Exactly how many and type of ships formed the convoy and what was their cargo? Ballast and supplies for the war effort going to Nova Scotia? What "supplies" for the war effort were going from Europe to Nova Scotia? Exactly how many U-Boats were involved in this attack? How many were damaged? How many were destroyed? If you are going to make up bullshit then don't use things like Germany's WWII Navy because they kept meticulous records of every U-Boat. Where it was made, when it was deployed and where, who was on board, when is was damaged, where is was repaired and when and where they were destroyed. Apart from a few very secret missions we know exactly what happened to every U-Boat during WWII and where they are. So for your next shit clickbait story either get your fact straight of make it so vague that we're not sure of what happened to whom!

    The title should be reworded and the words "accidentally destroyed" removed and replaced with "led to the withdrawal of" . Because of the title, some people are stating that this is clickbait. If they studied or read about the history of the Atlantic War, they would know that Convoy ONS5 was the beginning of the end of the domination of the Atlantic by the U-boat wolf packs. The title is definitely misleading though. ONS5 is a real event that demonstrated of how tactics developed by WATU (Western Approaches Tactical Unit) helped to fend off one of the biggest wolf pack of the Atlantic war. Without these tactics, the convoy would have been totally destroyed. You may want to check out the 6 episodes of U-Boat Wargamers. Doenitz was eventually forced to withdraw the U-boat fleet due to the heavy losses incurred by escorts employing technology and WATU tactics along with allied air cover where possible.

    • @RustySax1949
      @RustySax1949 16 дней назад +1

      @autryld - A great book about WATU is called "A Game of Birds and Wolves," by Simon Parkin. Goes into a lot of detail about the program, with 21-year old Jean Laidlaw, IMHO, the genius behind the most effective tactics.

    • @HarryOld972
      @HarryOld972 4 дня назад +1

      U-Boat Wargamers was accurate in that the tactics they developed were successfully used by Horton to protect convoys. The notion that attacking the convoy from the the rear was some kind of tactical plan was plain wrong.

    The Brits will soon share with the US a new invention that was a gigantic leap forward in technology. The Cavity Magnetron. This invention made microwaves 100X more powerful being able to scan much further distances much greater clarity. And, it came in a small size being able to fit on larger aircraft. It also was used in powerful sonar turning the U-boats from hunters to the hunted, ending U=boat activity in WW2. Many think the invention of the Cavity Magnetron was the single most important piece of equipment that won the war for the Allies.

    Not sure how true, or if at all true…
    But when the enigma code was broken the allies had to be very careful when acting on the information it gave them.
    Act on every decoded message and the Germans would realise that the code was broken.
    So they had to pick and choose when to act, and when to pretend they had not decoded the messages, and not act.
    It makes sense. If every time you send a secret message your foe acts like they know what you just said, it won’t take long before you realise they do in fact know what you just said.
    So, they only acted on some of the decoded messages. We know what you’re doing, but we do not want you to know we know.
    Imagine, the Germans plan to bomb a chicken farm in Sussex. And we know. So we Let them, it’s only a chicken farm. 45 bomb raids later on chicken farms they plan to bomb a spitfire factory. Then we stop them. 46 raids, one interception. Just looks like bad luck. Or good intel, and not acting on the bits that just smash a few eggs.

      @paulsander5433 51 минуту назад

      Yes, Peter was onboard U-954 that attacked convoy ONS-5 April 25-May 6, 1943 as part of wolfpacks Meise, Star, and Fink. His sub was sunk two weeks later by way of hedgehogs deployed by HMS Sennen and HMS Jed that were defending convoy SC-130.
      This was the beginning of Black May, when the Kriegsmarine for the first time had no response to unsustainable losses, thanks in large part to the anti-submarine tactics designed by the war gamers at the Western Approaches Tactical Unit of the Royal Navy. It was also the month when Operation Raspberry, the first effective U-boot countermeasure used by convoy escort destroyers (and successor to Operation Buttercup), was discontinued.

    It's simply not true to say the fleet was destroyed. Right throughout the war Germany never had more than 150 U Boats deployed in the Atlantic and Mediterranean at any one time. When Germany surrendered, 122 U Boats surrendered and 116 were scuttled by the Allied Navies. At most, U Boat losses never exceeded 10% of the fleet at sea. They were defeated by detection and evasion, not sinking. The last U Boats built in early 1945 had twice the performance and could stay submerged for days by using a snorkel at night. They also had the 5 rotor Enigma Machine which the Russians copied and used right through the 1950s. No 5 rotor Enigmas were captured by the British or Americans.

    At this stage of the war the Atlantic convoys had air over via long range flying boats Sutherlands out of Scotland and the north islandic airfields and the US, leaving a much smaller danger zone,
    The British had , through necessity, developed tactics that aggressively going after the U-boats forcing them to focus on survival.Using the escort ships to hunt together in grid form using experienced sonar operators and highly trained depth charge teams the number of U-boat losses turned the war in the Atlantic.
    My father served on HMS Sheffield on the russian convoys and told that everyone prayed for bad weather which made it impossible for the U-boats to operate,.....bad weather was uncomfortable but preferable.

    I'm starting to think that this is a purely AI-generated channel.
    Titles are often very inaccurate and misleading to the video's topic,
    Voiceover has some peculiar artifacts from obvious audio modulation, and no audible breaths are taken meaning it's either AI generated or it's heavily edited and the producer puts unusually high levels of audio effect for simple voicework,
    and there are multiple "Dark X" channels which put out a fairly volume of videos on a regular schedule.

    How was this a trap when it was down to changing weather that changed the course of the sea battle? This was a smart convoy leader that used the situation to his advantage and technology he had to hand. This was down to some gutsy sailors that took a fight back to the germans and gave them a bloody nose!

    Inaccuracies abound! If I heard correctly it was stated that Doernitz issued orders on May 23, weeks after the German surrender.

    You said decimated and then said a quarter lost. Make up your mind, 10% or 25% lost.

    "I Had" two DFCU Downey High teachers Merchies' one with a hook for one hand, Mr Chick, sunk both theators, last Paific, the other Dutch from German Occupation, maybe under aged? Rosenberger, sunk in the Gulf and or? Noth Atlantic, or Batic and or Med areas? As "I recall" their testimonies, told to me, and anyone in class listening.
    Grampa Paul or Papa Paul was PBY's maybe? a first EWO? for all these Battles in all the "American" Theator!
    He was proud he fought the whole War, never left the US as he put it technically. That's everything from Antaritic, Arctic, North and South Atlantic, with the Whole of the "Atlantic" Caribbean and Gulf, East Coast and Canada, with Greenland?(yes we already paid! in Treasure, Blood, Actions, and pain)!

    The thing with the enigma machine is the British let ships be sunk so the Germans didn't realise we could read there messages. So many lives could have been saved including my grandfather's brother. After watching the documentary on the British machine that decoded the enigma machine I was disgusted to see my grandfather's brothers ship. If my grandad had been alive he would have been devastated and felt betrayed by his own country.. Churchill was not a good or great man. He did what he did to make himself look good

      Use too much information it triggers a complete Enigma Blackout and strengthening of encryption.
      That 'stroke of luck of Allied plane found a single U boat' was likely the Germans testing for Enigma eavesdropping by watching how the Allies respond to a controlled leak of information.

    I got less than 2.5 minutes in before the part of my brain that learns names became overwhelmed and dropped all the names I had heard so far. For the rest of the video, names were meaningless noise interrupting an otherwise probably interesting story. This is why I barely passed history classes.

    It was, perhaps, a decisive battle, but 25% does not equal complete loss. This channel is slipping, and soon to face losses if this continues.
