I just got 2 warship models from your hidden history store! They are absolutely incredible young man thank you. I will be gifting one of them to my grandson for his birthday and keeping one all for myself. I think ill put it in my living room but dont tell the old lady HA!
Around 1960 while in Explorer Scouts I was lucky to spend a weekend on The Buckley as a guest of the Naval Reserve. We went from San Diego to to the neighborhood of Catalina. They let us have the run of the ship including the engine room. They let us play with the 3 inch guns and take the helm for a while. The next day they dropped depth charges and fired depth charges. They also fired the hedgehogs. Then they did target practice with one of the 3 inch guns. It was quite an experience. Living arrangements sucked. Anyway, I went into the Air Force.
I'm amazed that the Germans actually boarded the Buckley when their own boat was all but crippled. Throughout the narration, I kept waiting for the u-boat captain to surrender. Very die-hard crew, Nazis or not.
So many different reports on this. One was Americans throwing potatoes to another saying the subs crew including captain was captured and sent to Louisiana POW camp or Canadian camp
They weren’t really ahead in submarine design prior to the experimental type 21 design. The U.S Gar, Gato, and later Tambor class were superior to the type 9 in pretty much every way. Faster, longer dive duration, integrated mast radar that didn’t need to be removed and brought down into the hull, and a superior torpedo load and patrol range
PS: Upperhand in allied flotilas against uboots WASN'T about tactics as you said, but about STEALING enigma machine and decoding messages, so nothing BRAVE, HONOURABLE and about MILITARY FIELD VIRTUES.
As a retired Naval Officer and historian, you obviously have absolutely no idea about the battle of the Atlantic, including the Murmansk convoys and the natural environment, naval operations strategy and tactics or ASW. The battle, like the other actions against the Kreigsmarine, was a mix of many factors including Enigma (oh dear, the naughty Poles stole it, have you called the Police?), but at the end of the day it was sheer guts, determination, courage and seamanship/warfighting skills by those poor bastards out there on both sides. I suggest that you stay off making comments on these channels and go look up the battle and other anti-submarine actions on Google or somewhere. You might just be enlightened
The tactics employed against submarines absolutely played a massive factor in sinking them otherwise finding their rough positions with RDF wouldn’t mean anything
@@andrewstackpool4911 who said you are what you said above? I'm a prime minister, did you know? Mate, you're just a tool of british empire PROPAGANDA, not an Historian as you would like to be seen by public, wake up and watch yourself!
Almost definitely a cover up for the americans slaughtering the crew. There is no way the beaten uboat crew tried to board the ship and fight to take it. They were obviously trying to board the ship to survive and surrender and the americans got trigger happy. Just apply common sense

This is the same destroyer escort that was in the movie "The Enemy Below".
Indeed it is! Appreciate you watching and have a great rest of your week :)
The battle was very similar.
USS Haynes, Buckley class destroyer.
Wouldn't surprise me if the book the movie was based on took elements of this true story for the fictional book.
@@johnharris6655 I just watched the movie two days ago - you are correct
Nice video, thanks for sharing! My dad served on a Buckley class DE in the Pacific during WW 2. The USS Frybarger.
Thank you to him for his service, he’s a hero! Appreciate you watching and have a great week :)
Credit to the U-boat crew as well. They were also brave men who put up quite a fight.
To hell with the u-boat.
Evil murders no glory
Indeed. Appreciate you watching and have a great week :)
@@briancooper2112 they were fighting for their country. Don’t be so sour.
Who cares lol
This was a thrilling story. Thank you for sharing it.

Very cool! Appreciate you watching and have a great week :)
That thumbnail U-boat looks more like the USS Monitor than a submarine
That skipper was itching for a fight! 🫡🇺🇸♥️
That is so freaking cool

They were party members?
@@conveyor2the were fighting for the state and also a majority of German citizens were in fact party members
That's a thrilling story. Brave men fighting for their very lives using anything at hand...including that hand grenade.
My grandfather’s ship, he served on it during the Korean War.
Thank you to him for his service! Appreciate you watching and have a great week :)
Brave crew
Both of them.
Bremen is not really on our Baltic coast but on the Weser river which ends in the North Sea. You probably mixed it up with Kiel.
No, he is just ignorant
@@juhopuhakka2351 A I is both !
@@EDD519 It sure is buddy. Semper Fi!
Also, Kiel has no animal musicians :P
beast mode
Wow!, just Wow! never heard of this story before after 50+ years of military studies.
Hope you enjoyed it! Appreciate you watching and have a great week :)
My guy👍👍
Thanks for watching my guy :)
Shotgun buckshot.Thats insane!

Appreciate you watching and have a great week :)
Resolute and unwavering U-boat crew!
Appreciate you watching & have a great week :)
Thank you and thank you for sharing!🙏
Brave men all around, RIP
Indeed. Appreciate you watching and have a great week :)
That's not a Buckley class destroyer in the picture
No kilowatt power translation?
beast crew
Insane
It couldn't be a video about World War 2 wianother most important battle.
There's 10000 most important and fierce battles according to you tube videos
But why didn't they surface in the beginning
So many different reports on this. One was Americans throwing potatoes to another saying the subs crew including captain was captured and sent to Louisiana POW camp or Canadian camp
Appreciate you watching & have a great rest of your week :)
Wow.
Appreciate you watching and have a great week :)
Wow😮😳👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Appreciate you watching and have a great week :)
My dad fought the Germans in Europe and found the Germans ferocious fighters.
Thank you to him for his service, a true hero! Appreciate you watching & have a great weekend :)
It's foc'sle not forcastle!
It seems that the German U-boats could submerge to a far greater depth than the US fleet submarines. I always wondered why?
Leaders in submarine technology at the time. Appreciate you watching and have a great week :)
They weren’t really ahead in submarine design prior to the experimental type 21 design. The U.S Gar, Gato, and later Tambor class were superior to the type 9 in pretty much every way.

At 7:57 you show a F4U instead of a TBF.
Ah dammit my bad. Appreciate you watching and have a great week :)
Just FYI ... The two aircraft at 7:57 are Grumman F4F Wildcats. The F4U was the Vought Corsair. Skal, ^v^
Sorry, no more USBS war stories. the RCN did 10x the ASW, and never got half the credit..

105 rounds of 3.5 inch to sink a sub typical american useless fire
As for the AI voice no TY
Nothing like racism to add to the comments. So when did you serve?
