@15:00 The Radio room has the empty wooden box, but no Enigma decoding machine in it. The Kriegsmarine initially used a 3-rotor version which was later updated to a 4-rotor version for better encryption. The video was very dark, I couldn't even see the Officers Quarter's.
Very cool! My father served on the KNM Kobben around 1980. He is over 2 meters tall, but he didn't have any problems with the space onboard. But he did say that if you were taller than 150 cm, you had to walk backwards into the toilet :) He also say, like you, that the submariners ate better food than most. The food was very important for morale, when being underwater for a long time. He reckons the most he spent was 14 days without daylight. When he served they had 6 hour shifts. They were also of course, hot-bedding, but they luckily had their own sleeping bags :) He was a diesel mechanic, and they had a lot of different stations, depending on what the submarine was doing. From handling the engines, to steering and doing the ballast balancing. He gave me a tour of KNM Utstein which is at the naval museum in Horten, Norway. I made a video of it, but haven't listed it atm.
This was poorly videoed. Throughout the audio would say look here or there, but the video did not turn to take in the things described. Tremendously frustrating.
The background is that the video was only meant as something I could go back and see later - it was never planned for RU-vid. I some time later found the audio tour available for download, so I just put it together, never expecting much interest. At some point it got traffic and I figured "well, the next one will need to be done right" and the result is my video of the U995, which has passed 3 million views. So you are right, the audio and video do not align, but every video I have made since has been a learning experience to keep improving the quality.
I also wondered why it has a U designation, however it may be because it has to be registered as a vessel in Germany and all submarines require a U designation - but this is speculation on my part. I think the U995 is very well tied with the memorial, so from that point of view the location outside a major city makes sense.
My mother s first cousin used to tell her things going on in the Cold War ! The way they would come in to Hawaii beat all to hell ! Like they were having underwater crash derby with the Soviet submarines lol !!
The cold war had some very interesting and dangerous encounters with submarines. I can highly recommend Blind mans bluff : en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blind_Man%27s_Bluff:_The_Untold_Story_of_American_Submarine_Espionage
Really interesting video - thank you!. I’m constantly fascinated by the construction of the German war machine, weather it’s submarines, half tracks, bunkers, tanks, rear tracked motorcycles, huge guns on mounts on trains, Hitlers own 6 wheeler Mercedes, submarine pens, the list is endless … Just like in this submarine, the configuration of all that kit back then is nothing short of bewildering!. They certainly knew how to build with their engineering expertise.. I must make a visit to this submarine….
Thank you. The Germans did make many innovations during WWII. Some historians view this as an attempt to innovate to a win, which of course does not work on its own. I have another German submarine video coming up , so make sure to subscribe 👍
I’m always fascinated by the engineering the Germans did… obviously I’m fully aware of the pain and suffering that people endured also… I’ve already clicked subscribe so I await your next video. Many thanks!
I was thinking that countries that construct and use non nuclear subs could possibly replace the diesel motors with fuel cells powered by hydrogen. They would generate electricity to run the sub's motors and charge a bank of batteries that would be for emergency use. The fuel cells would create drinkable water as the by product. And hydrogen could be replenished by electrolyzing salt water. This a simplification to it's basics but it would be worth looking in to,
The current German designs use a combination of Diesel electric and Hydrogen fuel cells. The Swedish use a combination of Diesel electric and a Sterling engine burning diesel combined with liquid O2
It really does! And Silent Hunter 5. The team who developed Silent Hunter 5 actually visited U995 to capture details about the interior during the game development.
