The soundtrack to Das Boot, takes me back to the 80's and to still one of the best war films/submarine dramas/just best bloody films ever!! Much love from the UK
I appreciate your appreciation for Das Boot ❤ This movie realy is a masterpiece. Never saw a war film so intense, real and depressing, while still delivering some comic relief (don’t know whether the comical elements translate to not-germans). Let alone the soundtrack… You should look for the Mini Series, which was made for TV. The movie is a cut down version for cinema. The Mini Series is muuuch longer and better (although sometimes a bit slow). As a German who visited all continets beside Antarctica, i have to admit to never have been to Britain. Hope to settle that in the time to come. Cheers 🍻
I've seen this documentary in its original German version - it was more somber and rather somewhat 'cool' in its overall outlook. The upbeat music and the American-english of this narration makes this really fun to watch again...
At 15:27. "Preparations are complete. The big day has arrived. We are heading for England on the manoeuvre we have been training for"..... since 1939. LOL
I love that beer is being stored in the torpedo tubes. Germans are the best!

I served in the U.S Air Force, but much of my family and friends have served on U.S. submarines. I have the highest respect for these men and women who go to sea on submarines and say what you will about WWII, Germany had some of the best submarines and crews. They trained hard, fought hard, and made their mark. I don't think that modern-day German submariners are any different. Well trained, dedicated and willing to go the distance. Calm seas to the crew of U-32.

Funny how I remember a German aircrew asking me for ice one hot weekend afternoon. I told them i would get it when i went to chow. When I returned, they came over with a mop bucket full of beer cans. The then poured the ice over the beer cans, handed me a beer and off to work on their plane they went. I found it kind of hilarious but cool.
Well, lets see, in 2013 a German Type 212 (U-32) not only set a record of staying submerged for 18 days (non-nuclear), but also penetrated the Strike Group’s ASW screen and managed to simulate a torpedo attack on the Carrier. Sort of a repeat of when U-24 (an older type 206 class), which in 2001 during excercise JTFEX 01-2 successfully penetrated the USS Enteprise's ASW screen and fired green smoke next to the carriers hull, "at collision proximity". These type of submarine could also purposely pass a Los Angeles class sub multiple times without it noting them

One of these German subs (an older model) visited our US Navy submarine base in Groton Connecticut with a German Navy support ship back in 1995 while I was there on shore duty in R-9, 31-Fox Hydraulic shop. They invited us to tour their boat, and of course to "sample" some of their European beer, which has a higher alcohol percentage than our American beer... well, that was a culture exchange, for after one of their beers we were "feeling fine." The German guys were looking at us like saying "look at these girly Americans, can't handle our beers LOL... memories...
Oddly, isn't Beck's an American beer? Anyhow, the narrator made it seem as if nobody drank much beer on the boat. The KINGS OF BEER DRINKERS? Not to mention how much was taken aboard?
That is one slick looking boat. Being a diesel, she's nearly silent at under 5 knots. The Germans build a very functional and lethal boat. Bravo Deutschland!!!!!
They had the best technology in WW2, even a little too advanced. The Typ XXI was the first real sub that could run submerged on diesels. The Allies resurrected several of them to see how they worked. I think it is called the U2540 but you can visit one in Bremerhaven.
I was on three Nuclear submarines in the United States Navy, so I can relate to these fellow submarine sailors. Especially in the stores loading and the lack of enough racks aka bunks on board. That's something our newest Fast Attacks have in common. Only my first boat, the USS HENRY CLAY SSBN625, a Polaris missile boat, was big enough for everyone to have their own bed. The biggest difference is how long they can stay at sea. I spent 72 days at sea on my first patrol, which is a lot longer than the German boat can do. However, that boat would be a very dangerous foe in a battle. It's quiet as hell and has the same kind of weapons.
We dont need nuclear subs because we don't want to be world dominators (any more). The 212a class is perfectly suited to defend our coastline. Small, silent, deadly. It is able to operate in shallow waters where the big nuclear powered subs simply cannot. Perfect match for our needs.
I'd even say the weapons are better in some regards. Fiber Optical guided torpedos and fiber optical submarine to air missiles that aren't capsulated. The IDAS system they have on-board a thing to look out for in ASW tactics. And staying underwater for 18 days without snorkeling is pretty impressive, might be the current record for diesel boats. Obviously cant compare to a nuclear submarine.

That's the low tech stuff and probably why they wanted the enemy to see it, so they they're lulled into a false state of superiority, thinking that Canon Pro 100 wide format printer is all they need to get the technological advantage, when in truth behind the secret compartments not shown on film lay a 3D printer, with hi speed internet to tap into their favorite beer making youtube videos.
As an Englishman in his mid-60's, it felt a little eerie seeing a German submarine on a training exercise but very interesting to see the inside of the submarine and I noticed a lot of the instrumentation had inscriptions in English and I have no idea how much the cook was paid, but it was not enough.
"Little eerie"? Why? Germany has been NATO Member for 65 years, 30% of todays Germans has a migration background, english is our second language and in many universities over here its the first one. Our chancelor is a woman, our Minster of Defence is a woman, our former Foreign Minister was gay, our former Minister of Health had asian roots - and even the grandparents (!) of these submariners were mostly born after the war. I'm always surprised that so many people seems to be stucked in long gone stereotypes. Greetings from Hamburg!
What a lovely, compact modern submarine! I was really surprised to see that the submarine had an anchor, it wasn't something that I thought about other than for surface vessels. Another surprise was to hear that it's hull is made from non magnetic steel, something which I had no idea even existed! The small number of crew, and even smaller number of bunks came as a surprise too! Hot bunks being a necessity in such a compact vessel. The sight of food being stored anywhere that there's space for it to fit reminded me of the WW2 era submarines. Speaking of that time, it's nice that these crews are now our allies. Nice to see integrated crew on this boat too! Excellent documentary, subscribed.
Well actually there are many non magnetic metals. The tricky part is to create a combination that also fullfills the requirements for a submarine hull.
As a former cook, I can assure you this guy loves his job. First, he is a pro. Because good food is so important for morale on submarines, he is given the best quality ingredients, restaurant quality. That roast chicken we saw being served looked delicious. Being able to help keep the spirits of the crew up by his excellent cooking makes for a long day, but also immense pride and satisfaction. You can be sure the crew give him a lot of respect.
Wow, I'm 60 years old and you make me wanna go find an army to enlist with somewhere just so I can be a cook. How come restaurants don't serve morale boosting food in a way that captures whatever that magic is. People need their morale picked up, not just on a submarine, but everywhere. We need Morale Booster Restaurants or Mess Halls where we can all PUMP ONE ANOTHER UP with great food, great beer, and great cheer.
Watch out, the German Navy is testing new battle tactics! They load beer into the torpedo tubes to launch it at beer-starved enemy sailors. When the enemy sailors eventually become intoxicated, they're easy targets!

Great doco, one question I need answered, fantastic boat especially with the hybrid hydrogen system brilliant technology from the Germans as usual,why my government (Australia) went with the crazy design and build from scratch a French nuke conversion to diesel electric with Tech like this available? The regular excuse is range ,the Germans seem to have jumped that hurdle .
@Molloo3 Yes we all know our Government does not make very good decisions these days, i knew people in the submarine service while they did not like the subs, they knew ours was not up to scratch compared to other countries, But our military do the best with what they have.
@Molloo3 Although the range, endurance, and ability to sail at high speed for extended periods would make nuclear submarines a good candidate for the Australians, that wouldn't offset their very high cost. For the niche that Australia operates in with regards to submarines, diesel-electrics with AIP will still be the best fit and provide them with the most optimal capabilities. Nuclear subs can't operate close to shore and in shallow areas, which is where Australian subs are most needed (covert SIGINT missions). Shadowing fast surface vessels is less of a priority, which is what nuclear subs are good at. For the price of one nuclear sub you can buy half a dozen diesel-electrics, so that makes it an easy decision which one would be the better choice.
@@adamjones2025 That sounds like a lot of militaries unfortunately. Thanks to overpayed and idiotic politicians making ridiculous and unrealistic decisions, the men and women serving in our militaries are put in harms way for a crappy salary and often with inadequate gear/material/hardware.
The "fuel cell," is a good idea, giving the boat a near nuclear endurance capability below the surface. And if this boat also has the "hydrogen separator," to provide the crew fresh oxygen rich air, it could potentially continue to refuel itself under water! Ofcourse, it would mean the separator has the capability to over produce, both for fuel and for the survivability of the crew. Maybe a good substitution for a nuclear reactor? By the way... The shoulder patch the crew wears... Is that a rendition of Krampus?
A very impressive documentary, well done on the advancement of H&S, we have had many near disasters and loss of lives over the years. It’s an exciting life with many highs and lows, if u ever want to know what’s really going on ask the chief, they were experts at giving false information but it was something to talk about after a 4 hour down time and will spend the next 12 working at various tasks from driving the submarine to cleaning decks. A very strange life, I’m still not sure to this day how I served 15 years on them. I would never change a thing or shipmate or Captain, I always felt save with a bunch of strangers who became shipmates and friends still to this day. A stunning life I was privileged to experience

@@jonasnorden8916 actually an Italian and a German were both able to sink a US aircraft carrier in war games
Awesome boat, awesome crew!
The German shipyards are one of the best all over the World incl. submarines.
I just love the fact that aside from beer ,they also have redbull , so awesome 😂
I saw a crate of Fanta
my fave is the crate of kit kats
I was just imagining what would happen if they had an authorised missile tube test, but did it with the wrong tube...
"Darn it, you've launched the beer!!!" 😱😆🤣
that would never happen. germans might forget where they put a torpedo or two but they never forget where they put the beer.
The hole Crew is freaking out. The next torpedo is the gunman that short the beer 🤣 happy day from Germany.
Whoever launched it would get to ride home on the outside... "Hold your breath Hans"
😂😂😂
the beer noooooooo the beeerrrrrrr noooooooo!!!!!!
great HD documentary, I had no idea how modern diesel subs are now. Looks much better than my days on Oberons.
Which one did u serve on?
Love the music from ‘Das Boot’ just before the sub leaves harbour’. Great film. Nice touch I thought
Beer stored in torpedo tubes --- hahahah I love Germans and being German :)
D B ugh i cant
@QE ornotQE which lie are you talking about.
Beer is the German's secret Wunderwaffe :)
@D B Her probably got torpedo tubed to catch the beer.
Impressive.... This is amazing. What a crew, what a machine. An amazing weapon. The crew seems well prepared and very professional. It would take a special person to tolerate this environment.
Excellent, WELT is doing marvelous job for quality information and investigative research based documentaries. Well done. Full marks.
I love how they use the torpedo storage for beer! 😁
I guess it keeps it conveniently at a pleasant drinking temperature.
The sub has knobs and handles so nicely polished like the Germans build their ships the same way they build their cars
If they did that the the sub would be in the shop every other day.BMWs makes the worst engines and Transmissions for their M Cars...
@@CH-pv2rz I know like does an oil pan really need two drain plugs? Next they'll put a sensor on each lug nut to tell if it's kept proper torque, lol 👩🔧🇺🇲🇷🇺
Captain: play the song, number 2
Number 2: sir, I don't think that's--
Captain: I said play it.
Number 2: It's a loong way to Tipperary, it's a long way to go!
Whole crew: Its a long way to Tipperary, to the sweetest girl I know!
Awesome, the best "day in the life of a submariner" documentary ever!!
The commander is doing his job with utmost responsiblity and dedication.
It had never even occurred to me that a submarine would require an anchor.
sneaky doc makers, though: when the anchor was retracted into its recess they cut out its final rest - can't tell from the video if it makes a clanking sound when retracted or not.
@@Scriptorsilentum Ha!
Me neither! Though now that I've seen it it seems like the most obvious thing.
Andrew Robertson same...now that I realize that they have it, it’s screwing with my mind really badly.
It's a boat, correct?
Now they have to sing the Tiperarry song from Das Boot!
"It's a long, long way...." !
Beer and smokes on board, where do I sign?! All we need now are zee Vimen! Oh, wait, they have those too! How very interesting.
We party hard, even 500 meters below water level.
Здравствуйте, спасибо. Отлично и Замечательно. Строгий порядок и организация без суеты и "показухи". Спокойная работа команды. Идеальный экипаж.

I have great respect for the submariner of the navy of Germany, I worked on British submarines at my naval base at Devonport, Plymouth...I was employed as a Shipwright..GO Navy Go!
Love the music used at 14:37 with the Das Boot movie. Classic!!!!
The german captains always look handsome and manly. That seems to be a tradition, too then. :)
You noticed it too? That man is BURNING HOT ❤️🔥🔥🔥
Great documentary. Special people in crew. I could never do it.
I could, tho would want a cyanide pill in case of being sunk. Thought of drowning is not for me.
"The interior is pure high tec - much it of top-secret"
*passes HP laserjet printer on the desk* :)
That's the low tech stuff and probably why they wanted the enemy to see it, so they they're lulled into a false state of superiority, thinking that Canon Pro 100 wide format printer is all they need to get the technological advantage, when in truth behind the secret compartments not shown on film lay a 3D printer, with hi speed internet to tap into their favorite beer making youtube videos.
@@quantumpotential7639 yay for 3d printed craft beers!
Great documentary, I enjoyed it.
German sub still the best of the best
just had to use the das boot theme, i was waiting for it... hahaha
My father served on diesel boats from '46-'49. He'd get a kick out of watching the plush conditions these crewmen are living under.
He didn't serve in Germany.
Enjoyed watching this Doc. 🤙 up to the cooks, pushed to the limits preparing grub for ships crew.
Maybe they dock in LaRochelle and drink with Thomsen!
Great, great comment!
🤣🤣🤣👍
..."wo Dingsbums den Most holt!"
As an Englishman in his mid-60's, it felt a little eerie seeing a German submarine on a training exercise but very interesting to see the inside of the submarine and I noticed a lot of the instrumentation had inscriptions in English and I have no idea how much the cook was paid, but it was not enough.
"Little eerie"? Why? Germany has been NATO Member for 65 years, 30% of todays Germans has a migration background, english is our second language and in many universities over here its the first one. Our chancelor is a woman, our Minster of Defence is a woman, our former Foreign Minister was gay, our former Minister of Health had asian roots - and even the grandparents (!) of these submariners were mostly born after the war. I'm always surprised that so many people seems to be stucked in long gone stereotypes. Greetings from Hamburg!
@Wilhelm Eley They use the same alphabet but it is written in German. So close, but no cigar.
What a lovely, compact modern submarine!
I was really surprised to see that the submarine had an anchor, it wasn't something that I thought about other than for surface vessels.
Another surprise was to hear that it's hull is made from non magnetic steel, something which I had no idea even existed!
The small number of crew, and even smaller number of bunks came as a surprise too!
Hot bunks being a necessity in such a compact vessel. The sight of food being stored anywhere that there's space for it to fit reminded me of the WW2 era submarines.
Speaking of that time, it's nice that these crews are now our allies.
Nice to see integrated crew on this boat too!
Excellent documentary, subscribed.
Well actually there are many non magnetic metals. The tricky part is to create a combination that also fullfills the requirements for a submarine hull.
Lovely?? Really? That's hardly the adjective to apply to a combat vessel.
@@drats1279 *word* LOL how wouls you describe it..beside "lovely ".. I'll use " heavy "
Use a magnet on your pocketknife blade. Most are stainless steel.; tough and nonferrous.
Historically, Germany invented and perfected submarines. They were the fear of WW2.
"Ive prepared 132 meals for the crew today" OUCH
As a former cook, I can assure you this guy loves his job. First, he is a pro. Because good food is so important for morale on submarines, he is given the best quality ingredients, restaurant quality. That roast chicken we saw being served looked delicious. Being able to help keep the spirits of the crew up by his excellent cooking makes for a long day, but also immense pride and satisfaction. You can be sure the crew give him a lot of respect.
136 even xd
Wow, I'm 60 years old and you make me wanna go find an army to enlist with somewhere just so I can be a cook. How come restaurants don't serve morale boosting food in a way that captures whatever that magic is. People need their morale picked up, not just on a submarine, but everywhere. We need Morale Booster Restaurants or Mess Halls where we can all PUMP ONE ANOTHER UP with great food, great beer, and great cheer.
Watch out, the German Navy is testing new battle tactics! They load beer into the torpedo tubes to launch it at beer-starved enemy sailors. When the enemy sailors eventually become intoxicated, they're easy targets!
😅👏😄
I am SO scrood...
No one is feeling sorry for poor Marcel, the cook. :-( I'd love to try some of his recipes!
The Kriegsmarine would be jealous of these modern days submariners :)))
I love that the Captain still wears the white cap year around.
@@craftpaint1644 Традиция такая!
И сравнивать не стоит!
Fun fact. The U-boot type XXI (also called elektroboot) was used by USA as prototype for new submarine
I might have to watch Das Boot now
Did you know that the boot is actually an 8-part series that was cut into a film?
@@terminator235 I did know that
@@Staravora best thing, dont know if its in english language too but in german language the series has multiple plus sceenes not shown in the 3,5h film.
also crazy that this ship only requires a crew of 30 sailors!!!
Sorry, But why its 30?? In wikipedia its say 22, is it wrong or just different subs??
@@satriat4995 The Type 212 can support a maximum of 30 crewmembers. They typically patrol with 27 which consists of 22 enlisted personnel and 5 officers.
Does anyone else think the Commander is absolutely gorgeous and you just wanna hug him ?
Liebling 😉
Uh, no, I didn't...
This isn't Tinder! Go away sex pests!
@@seltaeb9691 :-))
Great piece of kit well done Germany. Ex Royal Navy
I never realized how the anchor was weighed out and in on a submarine!
Якорь на подводной лодке,- скорей всего дань традиции, чем необходимость. Он, как правило, использоваться только в аварийном случае или-же, ...в случае крайней необходимости.
The best submarine in the world !
Bold statement
Great doco, one question I need answered, fantastic boat especially with the hybrid hydrogen system brilliant technology from the Germans as usual,why my government (Australia) went with the crazy design and build from scratch a French nuke conversion to diesel electric with Tech like this available? The regular excuse is range ,the Germans seem to have jumped that hurdle .
Purely a political move or were bribed by the French. I'm ashamed we ditched this type for that shit French sub.
@Molloo3 Yes we all know our Government does not make very good decisions these days, i knew people in the submarine service while they did not like the subs, they knew ours was not up to scratch compared to other countries, But our military do the best with what they have.
@Molloo3 Although the range, endurance, and ability to sail at high speed for extended periods would make nuclear submarines a good candidate for the Australians, that wouldn't offset their very high cost. For the niche that Australia operates in with regards to submarines, diesel-electrics with AIP will still be the best fit and provide them with the most optimal capabilities. Nuclear subs can't operate close to shore and in shallow areas, which is where Australian subs are most needed (covert SIGINT missions). Shadowing fast surface vessels is less of a priority, which is what nuclear subs are good at. For the price of one nuclear sub you can buy half a dozen diesel-electrics, so that makes it an easy decision which one would be the better choice.
@@adamjones2025 That sounds like a lot of militaries unfortunately. Thanks to overpayed and idiotic politicians making ridiculous and unrealistic decisions, the men and women serving in our militaries are put in harms way for a crappy salary and often with inadequate gear/material/hardware.
@@pieterveenders9793 Yes unfortunately the politicians get paid high wages while the rest of us struggle to earn a honest living.
2 beers a day supposedly, it is just great to be a German soldier 🤗
It's as though it is a ship from the sci-fi series "the expanse" ...cool as ☆☆☆☆!!!!👍👍
Imagine the tears the crew would shed if that torpedo bay was accidentally opened.
I wonder if they flood the tube without opening it in arctic waters to flash freeze the beer 🤔
The "fuel cell," is a good idea, giving the boat a near nuclear endurance capability below the surface.
And if this boat also has the "hydrogen separator," to provide the crew fresh oxygen rich air, it could potentially continue to refuel itself under water! Ofcourse, it would mean the separator has the capability to over produce, both for fuel and for the survivability of the crew.
Maybe a good substitution for a nuclear reactor?
By the way... The shoulder patch the crew wears... Is that a rendition of Krampus?
It's way better than a nuclear reactor for this size
A very impressive documentary, well done on the advancement of H&S, we have had many near disasters and loss of lives over the years.
It’s an exciting life with many highs and lows, if u ever want to know what’s really going on ask the chief, they were experts at giving false information but it was something to talk about after a 4 hour down time and will spend the next 12 working at various tasks from driving the submarine to cleaning decks.
A very strange life, I’m still not sure to this day how I served 15 years on them. I would never change a thing or shipmate or Captain, I always felt save with a bunch of strangers who became shipmates and friends still to this day. A stunning life I was privileged to experience
Great job thank you for defending us my Brothers
Seems as though the cook arguably has the most important and most difficult job.
