    My Father's uncle was a seaman on the Sydney, he died just hours before they were due to take that fateful voyage from a fall out of a 2nd story window of the building they were housed in.
    He got up in the wee small hours to go to the toilet, and as was the custom before a mission all the crew had been having their fill of liquid refreshments the night before, and in his befuddled state he turned right instead of left and walked straight off the balcony. Broke his neck...
    If he had not have died in the fall and just been injured he would've stayed ashore and been the only surviving crew member of the ship...

    One research video I found was they were able to close on U-480 because they had scraped the rubber coating when they went to rest on a sand bed giving an accurate location of “the dragons lair” to mine it.
    I didn’t know about the Sidney and found the whole story amazing. There were model kits available as a kid which had freighters with hidden guns on deck, but the Germans definitely took it to the next level.

    I've always loved the Nat Geo documentaries over the years. But I really love the "Drain the Ocean" series. Technology today that helps find these underwater wrecks and then helps to scan them in 3-D like a model is just fantastic. I'm waiting for the tech that allows you to walk through these ships as if they were on the surface through some kind of hologram-ish type of thing projected down to the wreck, eliminating the danger of actually having to dive to it. Just a thought. 🤔 Anyways, loved the video and can't wait for more!! 😁👍

What you described about walking through the ships will someday certainly exist.

      Alot of these sunken vessels are also sites of memorial, mass sea graves and in some cases house a spectacular ecosystem of flora and fauna, if the hologram would ever be able to scan the internal of these vessels you'd have to have permission and a lot of nerve to wander around them, even if it's only digitally, my grandfather was sunk on an allied merchant ship and if a James Cameron would want to document the internals of that ship and they came for me for permission I would have to let alot of historians down, sometimes it is better to simply not know these kind of things...

      The German raiders were not warships camouflaged as merchant ships. It was the other way around, merchant ships carrying concealed armament. It was the job of these raiders to sink enemy merchant ships. They were not meant to engage enemy warships such as the Sydney. That is why the captain of the Kormoran, Detmers, had no choice but to try and lure the Sydney into point blank gunfire range and surprise the Sydney and Detmers succeeded in doing that.. Six officers and 70 odd crew of the Kormoran lost their lives. The Captain, Theodore Detmers, and the rest of the crew spent the remainder of the war as pow's in Australia.

    The first Allied ship to be sunk by U480 was the Canadian Corvette HMCS ALBERNI on 21 August 1944. The official memorial for the crews of both vessels is in Courtenay, British Columbia at the HMCS ALBERNI Museum and Memorial (HAMM). Besides artifacts from the Alberni the museum also has records of U480 prior to her last voyage out of Norway. With the assistance of Library and Archives Canada and Germany, all of the names of crewmen have been authenticated as well as correct spellings. HAMM has been in operation since 1999.

      No, you wouldn't...Germany had absolutely no chance to win the war. Once the US got involved there was no way a relatively resource poor country with no good access to the sea had any shot of competing with the industrial strength and production power of America. Germany should have been defeated by France had the French leadership been competent. They were hoping the majority of the world would be reluctant to enter the war due to WW1, and a lot of the things you've likely learned about the German military from the time period is propaganda. You were much more likely to find German soldiers moving field guns with horses than a battalion of Stugs etc.

      One of those missing countries would of been Germany. The reason why Hitler attacked was because they had intelligence which was very correct that the Russians bad fully mobilized its population to build an unprecedented tank producing machine. They attacked because so many tanks were being built had they waited the situation would of gotten impossible. The USSR basically the equivalent of a tank nuclear arms race. There is no doubt. Stalin was loading up and poised to attack Germany when the moment was right.

    • @AlexFromnic

      @@Abhorrent1 yeah that's just wrong. Germany was an economic power house and their allies in Japan had all the sea access the Axis needed. As they gobbled up countries they also gobbled up armies and means of production. The United States wasn't the power house army you think it was. It was successful given the fact the Axis was busy battling the Soviets at the same time. History shows Germany and their chances were very strong. It was the Soviets not the US that tipped the balance

    This could have been a good documentary if the presented scientific data wouldn't have been messed up right from the start.
    3:03: Heavy water is not "chemically hydrogen". It's water. You've cut out the essential part that it's made from Deuterium ("heavy hydrogen") and oxygen, and that Deuterium is chemically hydrogen, but has twice the weight of normal hydrogen.
    3:50 Heavy water was mainly required as a moderator, so natural Uranium could be used. Of course it also worked for cooling, but that was not the main purpose.
    4:00 They produced (almost) 1000 kilos of heavy water _in_ _total_. Without that last part, the information is useless.
    I'm not going to mention the rest, if already after 4 minutes the mistakes pile up. Sad to see that the level of exactness has decreased so much at national geographic.

    The heavy water was only one of several needed components for nuclear fission. Experts who worked on the Manhattan project who were involved in making the successful atom bomb which were used to bomb Japan later inspected Heisenberg's lab in Germany and their report was that he wasn't close to building an atomic bomb, he was missing knowledge critical for being able to do it. He was off on the wrong track.

It was in their financial interest which is number one for anyone for their opponents to be very dangerous. Even today warriors are judged by how great their foes are, so NO, I don't believe the report was a conspiracy, and this history of the German development of the bomb by Heisenberg was shown to have floundered. The fact is that they got a head start on the US, but never actually came close to completing their bomb.
      I do agree that the victor in wars always drags the vanquished through the mud further justifying the war and the defeat, demonizing them, but that doesn't have anything to do with this. On top of that the American scientific community continued to get funding for going on to develop the H-Bomb with the new nuclear boogeyman threat, Russia.
