@DanieleDaugherty barely enough room to change your mind. It had to be amazingly LOUD between those two 9 cylinder MAN diesel engines... and extremely HOT.
The presentations you put together are quite incredible. Capturing the hard work and sacrifice during those hard times, and keeping their history alive
Growing up in the western Chicago suburbs I visited the U-505 on display at the Chicago Museum of Science and Industry many times. After High School I enlisted in the US Navy and severed aboard the USS Queenfish SSN651 out of Pearl Harbor from 1976 - 1979. A lot more room on a US Nuclear Powered Submarine built in the 1960s than a German Diesel boat built in the late 1930s.
that is the truth - I had a training trip on a Diesel Boat - I have been to sea on three different versions and the FBM /SSBN is the best bot could be boring - The SSN can ger real interesting -
Boarding an enemy ship in war time is not stealing, it is properly called "boarding and seizing, (a war prize)". The first time an enemy vessel had been seized by the US Navy since 1812.
It’s at the Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago. When they recently moved it into a new, dedicated part of the museum, there’s some great news footage of it on lake shore drive.
My family got the chance to see the WWII German U-505 last year!! Incredible the US Navy was able to capture it and now sits on display in Chicago along with displaying even a couple of the torpedoes no less! Worth the time to see and a rare opportunity if your ever in Chicago!! I have also had the chance to see the Gato class WWII US Navy submarine on display in Fisherman's Wharf in San Francisco 2yrs ago and it really gives you a good idea of the courage and skill that both navel submariners had to go to war in them!! Much respect for these sailors on both sides!! A disabled US Army Veteran 😃
growing up in Chicago in the 50's and early 60's I used to ditch school and go play on the U-505 - when I was 17, I reported aboard the SSBN-635 on April 10, 1964, and on the SSN-603 on April 10, 1965 - My Exec on the 603 was the same Exec that stayed in port and survived on April 10. 1963 - My Grandson is on his second SSN Boat at the moment -
Capt Daniel Gallery retired as a 2 star Rear Admiral. He was involved in the Revolt of the Admirals incident where he fought against the scrapping of the carrier force. That cost him his 3rd star. Also, most Rear Admirals of his era retired as Vice Admirals. But not him. Rear Admiral Gallery was a true hero.
For anyone interested, the movie “U-571” is (very loosely) based on the U-505 capture. The story has been considerably modified for Hollywood but I think it’s still a good movie. It has some really good actors, Matthew McConaughey, Bill Paxton, Harvey Keitel and Jon Bon-Jovi (yes, the singer).
This's one of the boldest and most brilliant operations in WWII! Captain Daniel Gallery’s incredible gamble to capture U-505, despite the risks and skepticism, was a game-changer. The courage of the boarding party and the intelligence they secured was a turning point in the Battle of the Atlantic. What do you think - could this have been the most daring naval operation of the war?
My great great Uncle was a member of the committee that brought U-505 to the Museum. The bicycle he road in the Olympics used to be on display there as well. He was in interesting guy, wish I had got the chance to meet him.
Failing to mention that the submarine is now on display at the museum of science and industry in Chicago seems like a massive oversight on your writers part.
The most important thing at this time is to get the Enigma machines get all of the intelligence from everybody abandoning ship very quickly but you want to get the Enigma machines, and they were connected with Japanese purple Communications operation, which means you might find the encryption and decryption equipment for the Japanese purple code on that ship
Great presentation - as usual - thank you! Is all the footage around the 505 and its capture, crew, boarding and so on the real thing from that event? I'm not being cynical, just simply curious~
Gallery was apparently kind of a blow-hard. The British had already captured 3- and 4-rotor Enigma machines from damaged U-boots that subsequently sunk. Dark Seas noted that Gallery had good intelligence about the locations of the U-boot fleet, so where do we think that came from? Gallery's efforts were a genuine threat to the intelligence gathering effort, if word got out that a U-boot had been captured, and he was properly chastised by Adm. King. I'm glad that part of the story was included in this documentary because it's so often omitted. That said, the U-505 is a fascinating exhibit at the Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago. I've taken the tour several times, but not since it was brought indoors where visitors can also inspect the exterior of the boat.
Yes... Bletchley Park asked the aroyal Navy to try to "pinch" U-boat Enigma machines but more importantly the code tables that went with them. Some RN sailors died in the attempt, trapped in the U-boat as it sank.
The chastisement of Admiral King of Captain Gallery was primarily due to the effect the U-505 capture might have on the codebreaking activities of the Allies in the Pacific. If the Germans got wind of U-505's capture, they would tell their Japanese allies that Enigma was compromised, and they would changes all of their ciphers in no time.
@@kristoffermangila The Japanese didn't use Enigma, they used something called Purple. The USA had broken it well enough in 1941 that they had advance knowledge that the Japanese consul would break ties on Dec. 7. The Japanese used Purple through the end of the war despite warnings from Germany that it had been broken. So it's unlikely that knowledge of the breaking of Enigma would have had much effect in the Pacific. Interestingly, the Allies got important intelligence about the defense of Europe from communications from Japanese diplomats in Germany using the Purple cipher.
The first uboat captured, after U-110 was captured by the British in May 9, 1941. U-505 (this one) captured by the US on June 4, 1944. The film U-571 being loosely based off of the U-110 capture by the British, but Hollywood reattributed it to the US because well, it's Hollywood. U-110 sinking while under tow to Iceland.
I agree with Admiral King - obtaining an Enigma machine and code books great and no doubt very useful to the war effort - towing the sub back to Bermuda and risking the German's finding out that their messages could be read - not very smart.
Lt Albert David the officer in charge of the boarding party as a MOH winner had a ship named after him the USS Albert David DE1050 (Later FF1050). I was a plank owner of the Albert David when commissioned Oct 19, 1968. I had just made third class radioman and was the duty driver for Congressman Hull who was on hand for the commissioning.
She now resides in the Chicago Museum of Science and Industry, having been moved from the museum's backyard, where the elements had degraded her to the point almost of collapse of some of her thin outer hull, and placed in a climate controlled basement gallery roofed over and protected from everything except tourists. I think I've been in her three times now, at least two, and it's well worth the time and trouble.
@stuartmoon6202 : I don't believe so. He realized later that his crew had all spilled the beans because they thought their Captain had. He, of course, never talked, but by that time it made no difference.
First time I saw the U 505 I was 8y old and the king tut exhibits 75 I believe I remember the museums and zoo was awesome Chicago is a hell of a town mom always said that ❤️ ♥️ gramps was an editor one of the papers tribune ? 30s to the late 70s he was a character 😂❤
You would have thought that some one in German high command would suss hmm the allies are always waiting for us ,maybe our codes are broken ? as for escort flat tops these pocket flat tops deserve more credit than they get
This depiction and the movie are keeping a false propaganda alive, the Americans were not the first to get an Enigma machine or board a German U Boat. The British destroyer HMS Bulldog was the first ship to capture an Enigma machine from a German submarine during World War II: Operation Primrose On May 9, 1941, the HMS Bulldog, HMS Broadway, and HMS Aubrietia attacked the German submarine U-110. The U-boat was damaged and its crew surrendered, and the Allies captured the Enigma machine and other intelligence material
Uploader used "stealing" because the word would help get clicks. Taking an enemy vessel is legitimate. U-505 is public property now. It's on display at the Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago, IL, USA.
Sometimes you forget just how good these uploads are, getting sick of AI scripts and text to voice garbage. Thanks for the great content.
I've been on the U-505... Absolutely amazing how a crew of men can work together in the confines of a metal tube.
I as well, cramped environment

Um... getting your radio transmissions intercepted by the AMERICANS is the very definition of bad luck😂
I’ve never heard this story. What an incredible feat. Excellent video 😊
This was incredible. Thank you for your hard work.
TFE did it first but I appreciate a more textbook breakdown. Keep up the great content & shouts to both channels for educational / historical content
Astounding.
Submarine life is hard.
Even today. Jim in Chile
Great documentary 👏 👍 thank you. You're Pro
Oh hey, Finding Nemo Submarine thumbnail.
The original Finding Nemo
The Allies already had Enigma machines. What they needed were the code books and the current machine settings. This was the real value of the capture.
Failing to mention that the submarine is now on display at the museum of science and industry in Chicago seems like a massive oversight on your writers part.
A two-thumbs-up for this report.
A story well told!

The Enigma code machine had already been broken 2 years before at Blechley Park UK, but kept secret.
Great presentation - as usual - thank you!

A time in history when the US military could keep a secret. Something unheard of today.
Hitler did have a pretty big nose.

U-505 a type IX C was captured during WWII and it's currently housed in the Museum of Science and Industry.

The fat electrician does a hilarious cover of this as well and would highly recommend watching it.
Unplayable. Gets 3 minutes in and freezes. Figures. RUclips keeps thinking security software is a security risk!
Excellent video. =PC=
I don't know where you get your stuff from but a hedgehog was designed to destroy a submarine not to disable it
Does anyone know what happened to the skipper of the U-boat after being took prisoner
He later committed suicide.

Has this story been made into a movie??? If not it should be!
it has, but the movie deviates considerably from the actual event

I wouldn't call capturing a vessel or vehicle from the enemy during wartime "theft". 😋

They repeatedly say this was a first for the U.S. Navy! Significant enough!
Western Atlantic surely.
Wow
The video would be improved by the removal of the music.
Aboard a ship/submarine sailors cannot be thrown to the ground. They get thrown to the deck. Fix the audio.
