Inside a German WW2 Submarine - Touring U995 U-Boot 

Thanks for the sub video, now I want to watch the movie u571 again.

docm77 .lol, after I posted the previous comment I realized there was "571" comments.. weird

Thank you for the tour , well done, cheers from Canada.

First thing I see in the video is Merkel's hideous sour face! God is she friggin ugly!

docm77 That really was fascinating ! Thanks for the upload.

Why? I'm sure they've heard English before.

We neurotics agree...

About as awkward as walking around America speaking German to a camera

@@davecarakasavage919 No not at all. The difference is that the germans can understand english but can also hear Doc’s german accent which makes it more ”odd” to those who pass by because he is clearly fluent in german yet still speaks english. If he spoke german in america the americans wouldn’t understand him which makes it less awkward when recording because you don’t have to worry about people judging what you say, and it is more understandable that he would speak his native language when explaining something. If he had an obvious american accent when speaking german it would be a little different, but not by much because the americans around him still wouldn’t understand him

I thought it was Arnold at first😅

Me tooo!!! I hope he can put some out of game content up soon!!

I just got this suggested to me and I am now experiencing this as well. Super cool.

Bit of a dark history. Seems like a weird thing to have monuments to

@@user-sz2px8pv3f the monuments are to commemorate the soldiers who fought and died for their country. dark or not, men have fought and died and this is paying homage to that. its not celebrating the dark history, but the lives lost.

@@Kotoy1 Absolutely. A lot of people who fight in wars are fighting to keep them and their country alive, not necessarily because they agree with whatever their country leader is fighting for. (I’m saying nothing bad about Germany here btw, I don’t know anything about their history, I’m just speaking generally like if one country’s reason for fighting is more “morally wrong”)

*CONFUSED EEERIKAAA*

Can you say the current location of this u boat?

Sorry to hear your family were affected so directly by the U-boat war. It's strange though isn't it...that mixed feeling of admiration for the machines themselves (and the young men who crewed them), yet horror at the countless lives shattered by their actions. War is a funny old thing.

It's not the Germans fault that your grandfather died, it was British people's own fault for allowing the crown to use them and follow Churchill. Mosley wanted to unite with Germany to crush the communists. Yet your government chose to side with communists Many Germans were also murdered by communists, by British military too, Specially when churchill ordered your air force to bomb German civilians during the night. Germans must feel the same you do

I must respectfully disagree sir. Those men served the nazis. They served one of the most evil regimes in history. I only feel sad that they served such vileness with such skill and devotion. But thank you for your service sir. You are not like them. Not in the ways that matter most.

@@wambutu7679 Thank you.

@@wambutu7679 well ,really history is written by the victors. While i will not say what they did was right, if they won, the heinous acts they committed would be called justice. I believe that they sacrificed their lives for an ideal or a wish to serve their country. I think anyone could sympathize with those beliefs. It seems obvious to us that theyre wrong and obvious to them that were wrong. Wrong and right technically dont exist. I believe they deserve respect as much as any soldier in any battle field

@Deepak Daniel I visited Germany a long, long time ago. One of those eurorail/backpacking, always broke/always having fun, sorts of trips. One day in Bavaria we met an urban hippie, (I told you it was awhile ago). After the sort of superficial bonding typical to such trips my brother and I were invited to his place. It was the attic of an old building. At one point we asked him when the buses stopped for the day. Here looked out the window before answering. Of course we asked why. "My watch is out there", was his reply. Naturally we leaned our heads out the window and saw an ancient church tower. That was the first answer he gave I still remember. Eventually the conversation got to the second world war. Back then it was in many ways still a current event. I honestly don't remember anything about that conversation. It was, as I said a long time ago. Anything except when we asked did his parents generation know what was happening. That is when he gave the second answer I remember to this day. "They said they knew nothing about the evil the nazis were doing. We don't believe them." Naturally we asked how could he be so certain. After all he wasn't even born yet. His answer; "It was their eyes." This is a round about, indeed long winded why to respond to your post. But I need to make clear the nazis were a form of evil one cannot equate to the evils that happen in most places and most times with depressing regularity. They were a soul taunting evil. To have supported that regime beyond the minimum needed to ensure the survival of yourself and your family is morally reprehensible. I'm sure 18 year old men died horrible suffocating, burning, drowning, claustrophobic deaths on those submarines. I'm sure some didn't know how horrible their nazi leaders were. For those men I will truly feel sorrow. But I can never 'honor' their sacrifice. Only mourn their wasted lives to so heinous a cause. For the rest of the men on those boats, not a tear. I will not go so far as to say I rejoice in the horrible deaths those other men suffered. For truly who am I know what sort of punishment such men deserve. I would no more dwell on those few who survived their time serving on the u-boats. I do not wish they had died as well. Despite the impressions my words have given such moral judgments are not mine to give. If there is a God I'm sure he'll have plenty to discuss with me about my own moral inequities, come the day. But "honor", "mourn", "recognize", those who served the nazis, executed their orders, strove to ensure their victory, by coming within a hairsbreath of starving the UK? No. I reserve such words, thoughts and sentiments for their victims.

@@wambutu7679 interesting points. i see what you mean and i agree that he nazis were evil.but my point is ,that kind of stuff happens a lot it war. Yes they were in the wrong side of history ,but i gurantee that a majority of them thought they did the right thing. It might not have even ocoured to them that what they were doing is wrong. Slavery for example. But think about this. What if in lets say 100 years,sending children to school is considered a heinous act. While it seems normal to us ,it might seem absolutely moronic in the future. The point im trying to make is that opinions on right and wrong change a lot and that change usually brings war with it. Isint it atleast worth it to accept that those people fought with courage and valor , and appreciate them ,not for what they believed in , but their courage and their willingness to do what they though was right?

Goes with out saying but ... I am currently reading the book, and it goes into a lot of detail of uboat operations. Stuff you don't think of, but after reading it you think, "well, yeah. Makes sense."

I agree! I started taking an interest in subs after watching the movie. I was truly impressed

@@natsune09 The salinity of the water! Makes total sense but who would have thought?

@@philipbarrett3151 If you don't think about it, you assume the whole ocean is the same in amount of salt in the water. But then you think about it, temperature, fresh water from rivers, storms, and so forth, then it makes sense and seems so painfully obvious. But when do most people even think about these things ... unless they are reading Das Boot or are on an actual submarine.

Different boat though...

Wayne Kusy ..You are so right. This is a superb piece of ship- building. The young men who sailed in them must have been the bravest of the brave. DAS BOOT the German movie depicted life aboard....All for nothing !!!!!

I loved going on the U505 it was so cool! I like how they do the lighting and sound affects that go along with the time it was captured.

Wait what I've just found this out

@@panozesperantegtr-1gobrrrr141 It's at the Museum of Science and Industry, in Chicago. It's a superb exhibit.

@@TheRealLaughingGravy I've been there a few times when I was younger as field trips but have never actually seen this.

ABSOLUTELY!!!

He speaks English in every video lol

thanks

Zen I am german and for me it sounds like english is not his mother tounge his accent sounds very german too And the way he pronounces the german words sounds like he is german

Gary Vallone I don’t think they had as much time to think about those feelings, probably only when they were alone or had some free time to themselves, most of the time they just had to get on with the missions.

I saw a documentary about the submarines outside of the Normandy before the invasion and it was clearly said that it was a small space in the British submarines.

mainly it's because the U-boats are boats that go go under for around 2 hours at a time so they were able to bwe bigger then the allie subs, and the U in u-boats means untersea

Yeah, all yellow little submarines

German sub big? See american fleet boat sub in the pacific.

@@angelofwar_7711 ok? You're comparing a ship to a sub, like apples to oranges

Agreed

Ilona Fenton, I had 2 Uncles Carl & Willie that served aboard the untetseaboot as per my mothers oral history. Her maiden name was Klien. May God bless ALL the men and women who gave their lives doing the best job they could.

@ Ilona Fenton Whaaaaat? So maybe soon we will say something like "many great concentration camp guards died, we shall remember them as heroes" huh?

@@eliseereclus3475 As far as I know, submarine soldiers were not with the SS and therefore not responsible for what happened in concentration camps. OK, they fought merchant ships, but their cargo was not peaceful either. The merchant ships transported weapons, ammunition and fuel, causing other German soldiers and civilians to die. In addition, these convoys were accompanied by Krigschiffe. War is cruel, but what should they have done. Shall they end her fight and be shot as a deserter. Or, Should they say thank's, that her mother, wife or child being currently burned or shredded in Dresden, Hamburg or elsewhere with a bomb, which was transported with these ships. Nobody likes to die and nobody likes that his family members die., war is cruel. Before we beat us verbally, we should rather ensure that something like this never happens again.

@@eliseereclus3475 The rank and file soldier, sailor, aircrew...all they did was fight for their country. not all were the stereotyped cold heartless gestapo type and a lot died terrible deaths too Both sides/ be they american, Brit, kiwi whatever. \atrocities were committed on all sides FACT War is man's Lowest point and sadly one we still all subscribe too, nation after nation when really we should all unite and fight the real war, the war that mankind has started,and may lose...Overpopulation, famine, Draught, and Global warming,,,oh hang on, of course the 'Donald' says that was made up by the Chinese to gain an upper economic lead...yeah, TRENDOUS Donnie!

Yeah i noticed that too. I don't know if he knew the attack periscope was up in the conning tower. I'm still trying to work out how these guys slept in those short bunks. I know people are generally taller now but surely not by that much.

@@ApriliaRSA250 they recruits shorter people for subs i think

I know, he walked past the Captain and Number One's bunks and didn't realize those were their zero enclosure "staterooms." Slim living conditions, but I kinda like how close everyone is to the boat and it's operation.

She's such a good girl

Let's be honest Soviet subs basically sink themselves

Dynamic Solution .......... .......No. Soviet merchant ships. Study the Uboat war better pls kthx

@@commanderrockwell1123 i know all I need to know, I know who won. I will let you be the expert and recall every unimportant fact that lead to Germany losing

And if you are into sims you can even Captain Uboat Check out ubisofts Silent Hunter series. though stock release if very arcade like. There is a rich modder community that makes the game even more realistic real navigation manual TDC real cool stuff.

Troche cie ponioslo...

Casimir Kulikowski dan über setze das mal XD

Ich auch. :(

ROFL

@@abondendchannelabondendcha179 Dann übersetz das mal.

Speed was one thing, fuel efficiency was another. Also, you don't have to worry about your air running out when you are on the surface, and have much better vision, as you can send the lookout team to the bridge. This was important to make sure you had as early a warning in case you were spotted by a plane.

@@OdenKanzaki probably a glitch

Why did they return it to the Germans? They could've kept it and used it as a museum, no? Good for tourism, though. The city of Chicago obtained the former U-505 Type IX-C U-boat -- one of only two remaining in the world -- that was almost scuttled by its crew when it was captured by a U.S. Navy destroyer task force in the South Atlantic toward the end of the war. A quick thinking U.S. Navy sailor who was part of the boarding party detected the scuttling mechanism and was able to turn it off thus saving the U-boat from sinking. The captain, who was a Chicago native, convinced the Navy to turn it over to the Museum of Science & Industry in his home town, Chicago, after the war, and the City of Chicago was able to raise enough money to transport it by barge from some port where it was hidden away in Bermuda.

Was there in Chicago and toured the sub... Very impressive... Most important for the US was the capture of the ENIGMA cipher-machine together with the valid code-books...

It was sold by the Norwegian navy back to the Germans for the symbolic price of one German mark. It was to ring in a new era of cooperation with Germany after the war that's why

Jimmy Harris - Most important was the fact that capturing the enigma machine benefitted the Elite Bankers etc that ran most of the countries in the world back then and still do including the US and suckered the people to go to war to take out Hitler/germany who did the right things that our corrupt controlled governments should have been doing back then and now - Google Paisley Expressions and the Jesus, Hitler and Wizard of Oz post on there just now exposing all of this and the LIES about Hitler and WW2 and all of the totally FAKE Debt/Austerity and totally FAKE terrorism that these Elites are using to carry on with their agenda that Hitler and Germany fought against.

Yep. Tell me if you agree though, people think that all Germans were bad in ww2 and 1 but that's not true only the nazis were bad the others were fighting to protect there country and family just like us

@@MitchellC564 A lot of the frontline soldiers were unwilling conscripts by the time the Allies invaded Europe.

With all respect, fuck all those soldiers. Sick of those agreed for everything patriots. Who ends up guarding Guantanamo or aushvitz!!! For motherland or flag sake they will kill anybody. Or even, for their religion. Violance bring more violence.

@@MitchellC564 now, you wrong.

Ronnan Bauman ?

Hahaha lul

@Jipke Oh, it's very interesting would be to know what's wrong there, namely. I guess, that there's smthg wrong too. I mean the very end, where's the english bombing attack - at 1940, so crucial? Doubts. And what's your opinion, if you are so kind to share it?

@Jipke If so? As I remember, they have emerged before that. The point was if they could emerge with the accumulators sunk. After solving the problem, they have emerged immediately. If I wrong?

@@wolodymyrshkurko6329 , I think you're right. For me, "Das Boot" is the best war movie ever made.

@@Juscz Agree! And it's the only(?) detailed and I guess true enough (in the main) feature film about Germans side of WW2 with its "hardwear" and "softwear"

The U-Boat living conditions are a little better than sleeping in a Panzer 🤔

@Craft Paint it’s not about the living conditions. They’re not that great on subs even today. It’s about this incredibly complex machine built such a long time ago without any meaningful computers

Type XXI boats are cool. I am fascinated by them. Because if the Kriegsmarine had them even 2 years earlier, they may have changed the course of the battle of the atlantic. They were far deadlier because of their extended endurance and ability to remain submerged.

@@armchairwizard8613 You are very right there. The Germans had many advanced weaponry that would be soon developed into serious war weapons to be feared, such as the super tank (Tiger, Panther, Maus), rather like the M1A1 Abrams, the V-1 and V-2 rockets (Cruise and ICBMs), the first true submarine attack vessels, the jet airplane (Me262), the Comet as a jet attack craft, and even supposed UFO/alien techno that led them to the bat wing plane, like the B2 bomber. Germans know their shit. It just takes a long time. And yes, Typ XXI boote would have made a huge difference. HUGE! Churchill admitted that he only ever feared the U-boote, since they would have starved Britain.

@@armchairwizard8613 Those would have changed the war if they were deployed earlier in numbers.

Criss { Lastname } my great great grandfather was a captain we never found out what happened

That is so cool! Which boat did he command?

But this boat is another type, it's newer.

TractorsNStuff His voice

If our beloved old Arnie would decide to take on a role as a German high ranking officer in WW2 movie it would simply be epic top of his career.. I always wanted to see him in Wehrmacht uniform speaking fluent German!

@@lassekristensen385 Arni being the best actor of all time couldnt take such a role. I agree it would be cool but theyd have to rewrite history to allow for Arnold winning the war single handedly.

Clapafool i think people will like it better if the german/russian loses

@@lassekristensen385 It would make sense Arnold in his prime is what the Nazis would consider to to be the "perfect human".

Wow, cool, wow, cool, wow, cool, wow, cool......... lol!

I tried. My kidneys don’t work anymore, is that bad?

So I’m not the only one doing it.....?

I'm so doing that!

Ja man waauuhh

Vow the great German engineering they can build much better now with best engineers n scientists

i was going to write the same

vuesch That is Awesome and deserving I would never known. History really should be taught better it is so interesting. I have total respect for All Veterans no matter which side I’m one also. It’s the Governments that can be bad. Thanks for the information:)

Trouble is history is a massive LIE and it is the winning side that writes the history and the Allies failed to mention that they were fighting for the Elite Bankers etc that controlled them back then and still do today and now Germany as well. Google Paisley Expressions and the Jesus, Hitler and Wizard of Oz post on there just now that exposes the TRUTH about Hitler and WW2.

@@williamwoods8022 Go lie with your hero, Marx.

I think it was only around 42 on a Type VII but keep in mind they also had to store food wherever they could.

Sorry, the Type VII had a crew complement of 44. No freezer and little refrigeration contributed to rather primitive food storage. Food was carefully stored throughout the ship and so as not to interfere with the controls. Fresh food went fast. Once it was gone meals were mostly comprised of sausage and canned food.

You know some could take 500 people

+Roblox cat 707 SSas .....say what??

Yeah, even in the Head! There are two, but only one got used until the food was used up and the 2nd one could be used...

37,000 never came home. Highest loss rate of any armed service. Sad.

Rare case

imagine being trapped in there which happened most of the time ...

They had to endure the terrific claustrophobia!

Don’t forget about the brave merchant seaman who were sent to the bottom by these ‘brave’ nazi ?

@@astragreen They weren't Nazis most of the time. Especially the Kriegsmarine was pretty apolitical in its ranks. They were young people you wrongly thought their country was under attack by their old enemies.

The one thing of being a young 20 to 25 year old sailor - strong and invincible. Especially when fighting for home and country! "Must stop the commies and yanks!"..something like it.
