Best site with historical content is Thoughty2. Hey mustache professor...hee hee, I have two suggestions that I'm sure will have plenty of meat and potatoes of interesting information. One is the 1893 Chicago World's Fair, complete with the history of the first appearance of George Ferris version of the Observation Wheel, which he called his model the Ferris Wheel. And yes alot of other stuff happened at that fair also. And my other suggestive topic will be the Kodak camera inventor, George Eastman. He pioneered the 401 k retirement plan. I know you'll deliver the goods with such entertaining flare. Peace

My mother's uncle was one of the surviving crew members (signal man) of the Gustloff and got first hand information on the disaster and the Hell the survivors went through. The stories she retold were a bit different than the commonly accepted chain of events. And even more horrific than most documentaries show. I, for one, am still amazed that anybody made it, and still disgusted about how so many civilians were used as a cover. I'm old enough to remember family members telling me (when I was young) stories about their "adventures" in the trenches of WW1, yes, ONE. I grew up in the heart of Europe, surrounded by lots of veterans of BOTH wars. I remember, as a kid, playing in old bunkers and admiring the yet to be fixed bullet holes in the stone facades of the buildings (including the one my grandparents lived in) and I count myself lucky never having to have lived through any of that horror. And I hope my offspring (and theirs) won't have to, either. From everything I was told, there was NOTHING worth "romantizising", like they do in movies. But THIS particular event is in the top 10 of my list of atrocities.

Thanks for waking me up to an amzingly sad and tragic moment in history - left me in tears. Thanks for all your research you do! Naval tragedies are really the worst and saddest! My grandfather was a Navy mate for Australian ships based in Darwin, and in one attack, one of only a doz to survive the sinking of his ship from Japanese attacks. "Never mention the war" was a VERY true axiom in our family. He was SO decorated, the lounge room wall was filled with his medals and photos of his mates lost - but i was never allowed to ask! But after his first ship and his actions that didnt save the ship but did save SOME, he spent the remainder of the war, as a gunner on Aust vessels escorting US troop carriers to Hawaii and back. SO this was a little close to home. Brilliantly written and researched.

My grandfather was in Vietnam. When we were young, we never talked about the war, and we had to be careful not to make loud noises and such. But as he grew older, he would suddenly mention something that happened, and he eventually started telling some stories. My wife's father was much the same way. Both will now openly talk about their experiences. Whenever they do, i listen and take every word they say into my soul, because their knowledge and experiences are priceless and one day will only be memories I carry. It can take a lifetime to open up about those kind of events, so when they do I consider it a great honor to be the recipient.

My great grandfather was an army medic for the US Army (a position he got because he was a farmer throughout his life up to that point and he knew how to butcher animals) and he was, at one point, stationed in Iwo jima, Japan but he refused to speak about it beyond the advice he gave grandpa when my grandfather was given his draft notice for Vietnam. "Get out of it anyway you can. Tell them anything you can think of. And if that doesn't work, I will give you all of our savings and you and Jean can go to Canada." I suppose that says it all.

Thanks for covering this. I have been looking at ship disasters for most of my adult life and the Gusloff still has a special place in my heart, alongside the Titanic and the Lusitania disasters. People do not know that this was in fact the biggest maritime disaster with the greatest loss of civilian life and I think it is bad that so few people know of this. I just think people didn't care about the Gusloff because it was German casualties during WW2. Quite sad actually. By the way, Titanic still holds the record for being the worst maritime disaster during peace times. The Gusloff, is the worst in history.

There’s been debate over the years as to Gustloff’s status in hindsight. While she was carrying civilians and wounded, she wasn’t marked as a hospital ship nor did she qualify as one. She was also carrying active military personnel fleeing the front, such as Kriegsmarine personnel from naval bases soon to be taken by Soviet forces. While the death toll is horrific, she unfortunately was a legitimate target. On the other side of the pin, however, had she been an Allied ship, the submarine captain who sank her certainly would’ve faced war crime charges as history is written by the victor.
@johnwolf2829
@johnwolf2829 2 года назад
Well of course, ANY ship was treated as a legit target by 1945. Did you see the part where he said over 2,000 ships were sunk every year? This was far from the only one, look up the Laconia, another one that was hidden away from history. And there was no holding the Russians Subs back at that point. They had been penned up in Leningrad for almost the whole war, and there was very little time left for them to grab their share of glory. This one sinking made that skipper the "tonnage King" of the Red Fleet.... not that he was politically connected enough to benefit much from his feat. I heard he drank himself to death a few years later, a bitter man ignored by his own people.

@@johnwolf2829 no, even in 1945, ships displaying Red Cross markings denoting them as hospital ships were still not legitimate targets according to the accepted rules of warfare (aka Geneva Convention).

War is brutal. Kriegsmarine or no, if she flew the swastika without identifying as a hospital ship, she was a target.

It's up to people to judge or forgive. History can only present the facts.

The worst horror story I've heard about the Willhelm Gustlav was that many parents put their children in the ship's life jackets, but because of their design for adults, it left children floating head-down in the water, with their legs kicking powerlessly in the air for a few minutes before the stillness.

They almost boarded the Gustloff but were turned away at the last moment. Lucky! They boarded another ship that took them to “safety” near Hamburg. Had they stayed there’s a good chance the Russians would have raped and killed them all. After the war my mom grew up and met a young US Air Force airman in the early sixties and married him (My dad).

Just had a weird idea . You know how one of the most dangerous things about being on ship if not the most dangerous is the damn lifeboat . What if instead of lifeboats if a ship sank the top deck was designed to release and be a flotation device like a floating dock on a lake or a pond. I mean obviously it's not perfect and you don't want to wind up like Jack and Rose but it beats having a butt ton of people in the damn water *And by top deck I mean the actual floorboards of the top deck being designed as a raft before installation so during an emergency they can be immediately released and will immediately float free upon contact with the water . *Also , sorry Keeps but I took the initiative with a pair of trimmers instead . I'm too old to be worrying about saving individual hairs . No pun intended 🤣
@PhoenixLyon
@PhoenixLyon 2 года назад
Intriguing idea. I think rough weather, and/or high seas would be a problem. Although, I know they use enclosed lifeboats on cold water cruises. I don't think it's feasible, really. By the time you got it balanced to stay right side up and enclosed it, I think it would be too expensive. Cool idea, though.
@juliashenandoah3965
@juliashenandoah3965 Год назад
Hm that´s the same idea as equipping aircrafts with parachutes. They.... "COULD" do it, but ehm too expensive too much hassle to engineer design and construct, and the calculations say that only so many thousand people are going to die the following deacades caused by accidents while millions are not so it´s "not worth investing the money in safety" and blah blah blah blah blah - so they (the big aircraft companies) just will never do it, and the case is closed. It´s just pure calculations and the big icecold money and CEO-floors in the highrise building talking.....

I've heard this a very long time ago... crazy ! Before this tragedy civilian ships were usually only "pirated" but not sunk. So the back story is in order to not be sunk the entire crew dressed as women ( yes dresses & bonnets ) to appear a civilian ship! It worked. But it changed how civilian ships were treated afterwards. It was in the minds of the sailors "Fool me once, but not ever again! "

If makes a video of it, than better than tell about the bad sides also. Not just the glorified 'uber-swede' story that tells only one side. If we are talking about being accurate with the history... Sweden was not the 'oh so wonderful overlords' like they are portrayed, they were just as racist, slave-loving, elitist, powerhungry and greedy as every single other nations trying to be the super power of their day. Sweden was trying to be nr.1 exactly as long as they controlled Finland. From the moment they invaded and subjugated the country in the early 1200's to the day Sweden lost it in the 1809. The day they lost Finland was the day Sweden suddenly wanted to live in "harmony and peace with everyone else". Oh funny that.. Dying in wars was fun as long as someone else did it for them. One small example: The number of Finns that died in hundred years from 1600 to 1700 is more than quarter of the population, around hundred thousand people. With all the estimates, Finnish population has been 50% of the Swedish population, the ration has stayed the same for millenia. With million Swedes, that's 500k Finns. Nobody talking about that because it's not sexy and not glorifying the 'awesome Swedes'. Oh and that sweet, sweet slavery ended only 60 years after England, 50 years after losing Finland and decade before USA so not really the forward thinkers of their time.
