@@thelastaustralian7583 Greatly appreciate it! Have a great week :)

Really is interesting how ineffective the Bismarck's AA guns were. Seems to be the case for most battleships against air power though, none really had much success as far as I know. Thanks for watching and have a great week :)

​@@HiddenHistoryYT qq no

​@@HiddenHistoryYT Were the AA guns ineffective or was it the sighting system? The main guns of some battleships could be directed to fire fairly close to one moving target from another, yet not always a hit. They were on a 2 dimensional sea, air makes it 3D.

@@20chocsaday I believe on Bismarck they weren’t designed for airplanes as slow as the Swordfish that were attacking

My father flew out of Norfolk Flying station Virginia on the Catalina n Mariner as a gunner n Spotter chasing Uboats. From late 1942 til the wars end.May ‘45

Your video history is excellent.

@MrKen-wy5dk: my father worked as a boilermaker, rivet driver, welder, and steel plate and bulkhead installer at Todd Shipyard in Galveston during the era of 1939-1961. I worked at Todd during the summers of 1957, ‘58, and ’59 to help my college expenses. I was born in 1937, raised, and educated in Galveston. I still remember the blackouts we had during the night because of potential U-boats offshore and the blimp base we had at Hitchcock that housed two blimps used for scouting and hunting for U-boats that could be attacked by planes from planes at Scholes Field and Ellington Field. My dad riveted a lot of the ships that went into WWII and he was drafted into the Army in 1944 at the age of 34 yrs, with 4 kids to support. He repaired and converted a lot of the ships that returned from the war after 1945. I worked in and knew all 3 dry docks at Todds as well as the main plate shop and most of the employees at Todds - especially the boilermakers. Since I was a boilermaker helper, I knew a lot of the senior welders, cutters, & fitters as well as machinists and electricians. I learned to cut and weld at Todd. I heard a lot of the stories and tales of what went on during and after WWII. I can relate to the U-boat presence the Gulf of Mexico.

Sinking defenceless ships Unrestricted submarine warfare as the Americans later Employed some were full of pows!

Sure, all those great people who would have murdered half the world were just so wonderful. Sick, man, really sick to praise these nazi killers. Really, really sick. I'm sure your parents wanted something better for you.

@@angloaust1575 u clearly don’t understand y he said that… smh 🤦‍♂️

@@angloaust1575 They didn’t and he didn’t however my grand uncle ran the show towards last years, he sank over 8000 tons (metric) and let others limp away. How dare you judge them defending nation from offensive monsters coming to kill civilians, his babies and wife. What if killed yours in 8 million set fire to your family lost all, nation and better life, all knew wealth positions buisness status home language history job, noble landed family. Your magnificent time on earth. They were bringing death to a peaceful nation unfairly. 53 nation on one? Two giants? Go to Russia or serve Israel ya coward. The terror or being in a semi sub coffin. You’d never do it. 36 hours under the sea, they went all seas, under attic all, America South America, NYC harbor. These aren’t real subs, drop depth, torpedos mines, no washing or using toilet noise. No water to get the sink off of engine. They were bravery godmen. I never heard a word of complaints or anger. He killed no non combatants or concentration camp. They were free, and could have freed us. The filth that fought for Allies should be in hell. Fools, they served in WW1. It would eat your mind. You don’t own a bank nor understand the conflict and stakes. Probably part human, of nations. He didn’t sink a thing, even in all that time. You think you’d rise to top or be of school where all came from. Flying, drowning is terrifying. Not breathing, this wasn’t a game, NO CHOICES! Bombers took Stuttgart and Keil too. The Bombed the harbor The ceiling consisted of pre-stressed concrete-layers being in the end 4,8 m thick, the walls then had a strength of 3,3 m. There were two boxes each with a length of 150 m, the berths within stretched over 138 m per side. Therefore "Kilian" was the only base where two boats could be berthed one after the other. They killed maybe 5 and took not a boat. All slipped out and nobody was harmed but tons of Allies. These punks had real weapons but as an ace in yanks or Brit’s gets ten maybe shot down, they had weaker or better technology. With nothing they stopped 300. Some were on both marines and or other services. All Nuremberg were, Goebbels was dead. You’d not take a gyro or sailboat to sea, not a surfboard. Just being a troll, you know they were right!

@@HiddenHistoryYT I had introduced the book to many other, one suched was a former VP-91 (off the top of my head) pilot who after reeding it pointed out some errows in which I was not took surpriced because I too found afew myself. In his second letter to me Mr. Kelshell informed me that he got so much correspondence from ex-service men that if he were to rewrite the book it would be twice the volume. I even made the suggestion on one of our local radio station in Jamaica that his book should be apart of out local school curriculum but nothing was done.

At least what I've seen it was a pretty difficult job but yeah not the best showing. Can't question their bravery though in continually pressing home their attacks into AA fire. Thanks for watching :)

They usually build the best of what it is they are making.

death camps, gas chambers, evil medical experiments, torture, and murder, that is what the germans excelled in. zero honor for them.

According to the book "Steel Boats, IronHearts"; the French dock workers sabotaged them frequently causing returns to port several times.

@@fazole that was mentioned as a big problem in Donitz' book too.

An archive source. Unfortunately basically all WW2 footage is in possession of archives who put their branding across the videos unless you want to pay $400+ for each 30 second clip. Pretty ridiculous IMO as they weren’t even the one who shot it!

My secret is that the thumbnail is AI generated haha, which is why it's not any particular models. Great eye to spot that! Thanks for watching :)

Was also wondering. Not sure but the thumbnail is a type XXI? Still watching so not going back to check right now

@@willlauzon3744 The thumbnail isn't a Type VIIC which was what U-615 was and isn't a Type XXI either. Pretty sure no WWII U-boat had a full width superstructure like that. As the RU-vid owner has said the thumbnail was invented but bears no relevance to the U-boat or 'planes involved in the story.

I'm no good at U-boats, but when I saw the thumbnail I thought "nevermind that it didn't exist yet, wtf is a deHavilland Caribou-ish looking thing doing buzzing a U-boat?"

While it is true that the diseases don't spread easily without sexual contact having one would still be extremely uncomfortable for the crewmember and with no way of treating or even alleviating the disease while at sea the afflicted sailors performance would be severely compromised. If a crewmember can not fully perform his duties he puts the entire boat at risk. The captain was probably exempt just by the virtue of being a high ranking officer who should know better and not have unprotected sex with hookers.

Don't be too sure. I read in Teddy Suhren's memoirs that some sailors were very much suspected of "closer than normal contact". Even Das Boot, the film, hints at it.
