- The submarine U711 were sunk by 44 aircraft from three offshore aircraft carriers in Operation Judgement the may 4. 1945 in Kilbotn at Harstad. The uboat base were hosting the passengership Black Watch wich sunk in the same fjord.
The U711 are resting at the depth of 55m. The reason the U711 sunk, was a valve who made leakage into the sub. The sub were filled with water and the battery made an toxic gas. The twelve onboard manage to save themselfes, while the rest of uboatcrew fought for their lives during the bombattack on Black Watch. The grey wolfs made an huge threats for the allies during WW2.
It extreme bravery to be a crew member in a submarine it doesn't matter which country they fought for every one of them very very brave total respect to all who served on submarines passed and present
As were the merchant seamen who had to traverse the Atlantic in slow merchantmen with fingers crossed.
Incredibly brave young men on both sides 🥺
I've Dived some awesome places man. Wish that was one. 😎
My father was serving on HMS Trumpeter that sank this U Boat.
@G Edwards You hope all hands were lost? Are you a barbarian by any chance? Nasty little man.
@@Stephen.C. He's probably one of the idiots who can't distinguish "Nazi" from "servicemen fighting for their country/family/because they were forced to".
Really now interesting because they said it was sunk by an aircraft not a ship
Yes aircraft from the escort carrier HMS Trumpeter during operation Judgement, the last air raid in the ETO of WW2.

So kurz vor dem Ende des Krieges
Ruht in Frieden
Great pictures of the wreck.just subscribed illl be watching for more grwat videos.thank and stay safe.
Cold down there.
Hell of a way to go.
Nice dive, good viz and no current but too deep for me.
Это история...подняли бы ее...и в музей...состояние отличное
She's a grave sight so very unlikely she'll be raised.
It's a war grave.
Great video no spastic music just bubbles
Hello from Sweden 🇸🇪
Hallo
A good video very clear pic poor guys on her to be sunk at such a time the war was nearly over
Tnx for watching. No one deseased in this uboat. The causalities were onboard Black Watch. 12 submarines made it while rescuing the uboat from the battle. Because of a injured pipe, it sunk after 400m away from the Black Watch.
Onore ai marinai tedeschi
Jeez, not even a crab😱😱
This should have had English subtitles.
They nearly made it to the end of the war :-)
Yes, but they were still a threatening for the allies.
Excellent video....is someone using a typewriter (very slowly) in the background??....🤔
Tnx. It's my shutter on my camera shooting stills while filming with the gopro 😄
Nice video, high visibility. Me like.
Tnx.
Awesome man! 😎
Tnx a lot 🙏😎👍🇧🇻
All these videos should have a little visual info of location. Maybe a map insert?
I don't think they want people to know the location of these wrecks. People are stealing them for metal. The metal used before ww2 is different than metal made after the atomic blasts. The older metals can be used for medical diagnostic equipment. Whole ships (grave sites) are disappearing all over the world. With illegal salvers.
If you google these wreck, you find out excactly where it is. Well known wreck.
@@bangfilmogfoto still it's advisable to begin with an introduction of 30 seconds or so, just a suggestion
Many of these subs were sunk off the coast of the u.s. that never made it back across the Atlantic
Wood and rope still there, must be a lot of remains of crew as well.
Sorry but none. All twelwe made it in the try to save the sub. Rest of crew lost the lifes onboard Black Watch were the sub was beside when the attack came. Hans Günther Lange was after the war a decorated officer in Nato. He wasn't a nazist. He only served because he had to...
It's a war graveyard, man...Respect.
Hello from Latvia
I miss my Latvian friend from school !
Awesome Brother's. 😎
Sunk May 4, 1945. The war ended 3 days later. How sad that they fought so bravely for so long only to die for nothing so close to the end.
Depends on your definition of fought. Did they"fight"innocent people? My Great Uncle was a merchant marine crewman on a cargo ship which was sunk by a u-boat. The cargo ship did not pose any threat to the u-boat. He saw a lot of his friends die in the cold water.He survived partially paralyzed. Not sad to see people get exactly what they deserve.
Yes.I agree on that. But none died on this sub. The attack was ment to sink this one while is was docking beside Black Watch. 12 members of the sub, manage to unlease the sub, in a attempt to rescue from sinking during the attack. Sadly it sank because of a broken valve. Maybe if the did save it, a new attack would havet been done later to sink it.
@@jeffhallel8211 Your great uncle and his crew mates got exactly what they deserved too. They were helping feed a country that was trying to kill this boats crew members family’s. everyone deserves to die. You think a little kid in Hamburg or London deserves to die in a war just because of the country they were born in? You think every German soldier/sailor had a choice ? People only know what they are taught and if a bad government controls the media then it controls the people , especially in 1930s and 40s. Stupid ass comment.
@@guaporeturns9472 Mr Guano, Are you suggesting the people should be murdering the grocery store workers who's businesses are in drug cartel territories?
@@jeffhallel8211 Yes , that’s exactly what I’m suggesting
dipshit
Are there 'onshore aircraft carriers' ?
Wow!
Hi can you give the dep of this wreck please ? Thank you
Hi. Depth is 45 to 60m
@@bangfilmogfoto Hi, I see after on the movie thank you !
@@bangfilmogfoto Feet??

That's pretty shallow.
She was tied up alongside another ship at the time. Her skeleton crew cut her lose and she was a couple hundred feet away from the other ship when the first aerial bomb detonated next to her. Other bombs destroyed her and she sank killing 40 of the 52 on board. 12 survived, the rest were not onboard at the time. She was sunk by bombs from a british Avenger aircraft.
Wait, how could it have "killed the rest of the crew", if the "rest of the crew weren't onboard at the time"? The info on the title page^ says that 12 men managed to save themselves, but it makes no mention of any crew members dying. I didn't think these subs had crews much larger than about 50 anyway.
4 days before VE day.
Older subs were dirty, cramp, and extremely smelly sardine cans. The only way I could be on one is sedated. I believe the death rate for German U-boats was the highest in the German military.
I agree. But the crew onboard this sub, stayed at Black Watch, a hotelship for German navy. 12 men manage to cut loose the sub in a hurry to prevent bombs at the attack on 4th may 1945.
@@bangfilmogfoto The individual sacrifice is one of the few admirable aspects of war. The prospect of war is a paradox. It should be avoided at all cost and it should be readied for quick and decisively to discourage those foolish enough to engage. People weary from war always wonder why it wasn't avoided. Usually us peons.
@@bangfilmogfoto I'm not a pacifist but prefer peace. If you fight, win.
not only in the Wehrmacht but in the rest of the world, as well...30.000 out of 40.000 submariners died fighting for their homeland at sea. Brave among the bravest.
@@roybrowning2685 All subs were dirty cramped smelly duty. The accommodation were very limited and it required a special kind of person to endure it. Sub duty and bomber duty had a high mortality rate. No one should find war glorious. My great uncle was killed in France. He was a wonderful person from what I've been told. My grandmother's great aunt was a young woman during the Civil War. She said all sides were dangerous and best to be treated as such. Civil War is particularly violent with lawless roughs common. The sacrifices of good and decent men and women should always be appreciated and honored.
The sides of the sub look like there made of wood.
Pani ke andar kya h
*Получаетса гни сами специально затопиди эту подлодку?*
So what sunk her? How about some details? Cool. Video though!
Tnx for liking the video. It was a valve who leaked while they tryed to save the uboat as she was attached to Black Watch. Halfway out Kilbotn, the level of water inside went dangerously hight, due to batterycompartment.
Sunk on 4 May 1945 at Kilbotn, near Harstad, Norway, in position 68.43,7N, 16.34,6E, by bombs from Avenger and Wildcat aircraft (846, 853 and 882 Sqn FAA) of the British escort carriers HMS Searcher, HMS Trumpeter and HMS Queen. 40 dead and 12 survivors.

That’s awful, the war is nearly over and you die for nothing!
@@sexysilversurfer tnx. More videos will come. Stay tuned.
@@sexysilversurfer exactly watching and learning about how much it took to build, and man all these instruments of war how that energy could have should have been spent for positive change . Someday perhaps and RIP to all of the sailors on all sides.
Germany brought seven eleven to Norway lmfao
