Destruction - Hofffmannn's Helll Lyrics

2:29 the most satisfying sound

Да, реконструкция классная только подводники больше на американцев похожи,выродились немцы с этой асемиляцией ,где вы потомки ариев,где?❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

0:58 "Hey bud, wanna be in the movies?"

Strange, if the U-Boat were so badly damaged they would probably return to Bessel,a Spanish port that supplied U boats or to the nearest French port instead of going to Lorient

Shut up Guderian Spain is Neutral

Erwin Rommel Spain was neutral but it still helped the Axis, Bessel, was a port that supplied U-Boats secretly.

I’m sure the captain and crew were wearing their service caps and jackets while experiencing this catastrophe. They were all clean shaven, and probably saluting each other, too. How stupidly dramatized.

Salutations to the German navy. Thank you for blowing up British ships .

There was a U-boat that was badly damaged by a British aircraft. It couldn't submerge so the airplane kept circling until a destroyer showed up. The Germans surrendered under their captains orders, The cipher machine and code book were captured. Why the crew didn't destroy it, I don't know. It helped us win the war The allies called it "The Ultra Secret."

Pity he made it. able to sink more unarmed ships.

Outstanding Submarine Commander

Is that actor Til Schweiger at 1:00 in the video?

Far out, almost the only time i'm rooting for the Germans!!

Have you seen Sabatons BISMARCK?

@Strait Jacket No i haven't, is it good?

They have an anti aircraft gun on board lol, or maybe 2 guns

Frode Pettersen yeah, 1. Won’t stop a raid

Or armor piercing 50 cal machine gun rounds. Those also destroyed many a German railway locomotive in strafing attacks.

As a proud U.S. NAVY veteran I salute those brave sailors. They performed their duties while under fire and the constant threat of coming under fire due to a severely damaged vessel that limited the ability to maneuver it properly, thereby saving the ship and themselves. Seamanship deserving of a medal.

Thank you for your service. I'm also a US Navy veteran too, I served from Aug 2001 - Dec 2010. I'm a submarine veteran, I was stationed on the USS Pennsylvania SSBN 735. How many years did you serve and on what commands?

In April 1944, U-515 was sunk but 44 crew survived. U-515's commander, Werner Henke, was among the survivors. Later in June 1944, he was shot and killed trying to escape a secret interrogation center known as P. O. Box 1142 in Fort Hunt, Virginia, while being held as a prisoner of war.

I don’t care what side you serve, if you’re working in a sub, I hope you’ll be able to go home to your families

Why wouldn't they go to the much closer U boat base at Bordeaux?

Because they are not assigned there

@Erwin Rommel Thats weird that you can't retreat to a friendly base. Thats like saying a plane can't land when its on low fuel because its not assigned there.

@Vsatyk Uboat and planes are largely different buddy
Planes can land to a nearby Airbase
But uboats has mysterious mission that they cannot port to a nearby port

ドイツの潜水艦の話ですね。軍事研究家、歴史研究家ペイソンコリンズ

Jeez. How can you have a major name on Uboob have the music in the background at the same level as the conversation> Listen to your own work, and edit.

Sub Commander, Verner Hinken messes up all the time, if you look at all the other videos he messes up all the time

Bay of Biscay is a pain in Silent Hunter 5

looks intresting...

Check out a new show on hulu called das boot. There is a old german u boat show called das boot but this is new . Very good mini series. Has several episodes. Shows what u boat guys have to go through. Check it on hulu

here's the unrealistic element: the men are shaved.

I believe that if Hitler didn't invade Poland or any other European country until several years later, after 1939, then the U-boats would have won the second world war.

I've thought that too.

I had the good fortune of knowing a guy that served on German U-boats during WWII. He had some stories. Very scary to be depth charged.

...AND IF MY AUNT HAD BALLS, SHE'D HAVE BEEN MY UNCLE!!!

Thanks from Chicago, IL

Should have headed to Spain and dumped the sub: It was a wreck anyway : What's to lose?

Alex Jervis >>>
The first and foremost objective and duty of a ship's captain and crew is save the ship and themselves. As long as the consensus is that the ship can sail under it's own power and remains seaworthy (able to maneuver and stay afloat, even if it's a sub) regardless of the damage, it's their duty to bring the ship home. Until it becomes obvious that the ship cannot remain afloat. Neutral Spain is still NOT home base. U.S. NAVY vet ✌🏻🇺🇸

Can i just ask: why dod the boat sink wjen the batteries cut out? Shouldnt it have continued floating with its momentum, and kept a steady depth due to the air in the ballast s?

A sub is only slightly negative buoyant. The bow and aft planes act like a wing, the forward motion flies the sub. You can trim via the ballast tanks, but if the sub was 1:1 buoyant, it would keep altering its diving depth due to sea currents. By using power and altering the bow planes, the sub is under trim control.

Wow, buncha lucky fellas!

Outstanding seamanship and exceptional skill while under extreme pressure. 🇩🇪

My parents bought shares in Standard Oil, and Ford, they made a bomb out of this war.

I'm no fan of Nazi German and I am disgusted at the horrific losses caused by U-boat attacks, but I found myself rooting for them to return to base unscathed.

What about two diesel engine.

Only can be used on the surface because of fumes.barriers used under water but had to be charged on service will running diesel engines.

40,000 German seamen served on U boats throughout the war. Only 10,000 came home

So what.

@cocodog85 Why do you think that is it because your mom has served that many John's?

Michael Naisbitt so what

Ahahahahhahaha Uboat looks like a shark taking a rest

We should never that these submarines killed lots of merchants

so did u.s subs in the pacific, even civilian fishing vessels

How many similar stories are there, but they didn't make it...

Unfortunately neither did this boat

No roses bloom on a sailor's grave.

I sailed across bay of Biscay

This U-Boat it's commander and crew killed my uncle aged seventeen who died on the sinking of the Ceramic a passenger ship. There was only one survivor and there were rumours they machine gunned the survivors in the water. I am named after my uncle.

Nothing that u.s subs didnt do tenfold in the pacific.
Guess what? Thats why war sucks.

Had they used the Enigma encoder and transmitted a distress signal..........?

White people should never fight against white people.

I'd have beached in Spain...

Goddamn it, the Smithsonian Channel making click bait spam on YouTube? This Story is incomplete and isn't linked to it's conclusion.

U-515 - type IX, no type VII.

*German Ingenuity* intensifies

No bias but I’m glad they survived .

Surviving meant they probably went out on another patrol and sunk more Allied ships and drowned many many more sailors.

How come some of the U-Boat crew wore civilian clothes along with their uniform clothes?

They wore civilian clothing for the same reason they were allowed to grow beards. Regulations were relaxed, once at sea, upon the Captain's consent.

Das Boot, Mostly civies, cramped, dirty grimy. 50's U.S. Sub movies, spiffy, spotless, spacious, laughable.

Then they get shot by an American submarine

It's karma for attempting a fight.

Story of Dasboot

See the movie Das Boot. German with subtitles in English. Great movie and gives an idea of what it must have been like for the German Submariner. Think it's still on Netflix menu.

There's also a new series called "Das Boot" on sky Atlantic too in Britain. USA sees it earlier. Have a look at it if you are in Britain or in Europe.

@Rob Fraser there was a series made after

@Brock Augusto yeah and it sucks

I watched it in German without subtitles the first time I watched it

Or like me,buy the collectors edition on DVD.worth it haha

1 of these u boats sunk the lusitania and other Innocent ships or boats

@Tristan Hurrey
Watch "Hellstorm Documentary" you'll know the truth.

And? The germans in WW1 were blockaded by the entente powers and that caused 763,000 possible civilian casualties due to starvation and diseases. With also the US sending things to UK, its a logical action to sink their convoys to make sure the UK doesn't receive them and finding out who's delivering the equipment and supplies is hard enough so it's common sense to just sink the ships of the country you are at war with.

The Lusitania was carrying munitions for Britain, hardly an innocent ship. And the Germans at first gave neutral ships entering the aquatic war zone plenty of warning of the U-Boats and not to proceed.

The German embassies also warned the Public in the US that the English ships were carrying munitions and were targeted by German submarines.

One can also not forget that the Russians sank the Steuben the Wilhelm Gustloff and the Goya in 1945 that were all carrying refugees from Ostpreußen. These attacks cost around 20,000 people their lives.

Hold up it’s been damaged for 2 months and not sunk

I see you’ve been to Kiel ;)

nothing but good honerable men on those boats. they did the best they could with what they were given. if people want to lay blame, lay it on the politicians who forced them to have such missions.

Submariners during WW2 were the only arm of the armed forces allowed to kill civilians (merchant seaman) delivering food and other goods. Hardly honourable to hide in darkness and murder delivery men, that's as honourable as jumping out of a tree and biting the guy from Pizza Hut who is just trying to deliver a meat feast.

Mej,i agree.Maybe not exactly the kreigsmarine is a good example but probably the Wehrmahct

Just toured U-505 in Chicago. Awesome exhibit! So huge on the outside, but tiny inside.

Rcbif ballast tanks are big

They have very large ballast tank as an way to control the pressure of the U-boat from crushing itself due to the water pressure as they dive down lower.

So what was actually broken in their ship?

Kevin Schultz the batteries, which meant that they couldnt use compressed air from air compressors in order to displace the air in the ballasttanks, which are used for the submarine diving and surfacing

or not the batteries, the generators for the batteries

Basically the batteries cut out and then the electric motor dies

I m from India..I love German s and their bad ass engineering

why couldn't they just get a telsa powerpack? I heard they are using them on the power grid now.

And if this were the History channel they would have said Aliens helped him back to his base, not the luck. Good old History channel, RIP.

I know right! The Reich only called aliens near the "end" of the war.

Acc0rd79 Amen. One of the reasons I let cable go.

Acc0rd79 , Smithsonian is not as good as the old History Channel. I missed the “old” History Channel.

Der Kommandant T4H1G6

Hello What can you say this show in Sweden

are people forgetting these are literal nazis?

NAZI was the acronym of the ruling political party. your thinkingvof Hitler's SS they were the baddies.

@Ain't no Slice they fought for Germany. "Nazi Germany" is not the official name of the country during WW2. It's just a term to describe the political theater of the country during that time. Might as well say the US right now would be the United Republican States of America.

Are you a Millennial? Why does the Emo Generation always have to say "literally" in every sentence? What else would they be, "figurative" Nazis?

Are you a 80 year old grandmother? Because you really just need to let people be who they are and understand language changes with time.

ct92404 Are you a 70 year old baby boomer? It’s used as an emphasis it’s not hard to understand, though you probably wouldn’t from your lack of higher education.

The book "iron coffins" is one of the best WWII i've ever read. If you want to known what it was like to serve on a U-boat, just read the book.

mindeloman thanks

Lazer beam, are you the real lazar beam if you are what does g’day mean. I watch your vids daily

just finished it and damn that guy was incredibly lucky like insanely lucky

Yes I read the book much better than any film

mindeloman: Yep, read that book years back, by Herbert Werner! Great story! Also do yourself a good turn and read a book that is a true story, by Robert Kurson, titled “Shadow Divers” Herbert Werner is in this true story! Thanks!🌈

Mr. Smith, thank you for 4 videos today!! Great work!! I sincerely enjoy them no matter how long

Phew 😅

They thought for the Nazis, they were carrying out the will of the Nazi party. They were trying to help the Nazis win the war. For all intense and purposes, yes, all German soldiers were Nazis. They may not have shared the ideology bu they were still Nazis.

Ain't no Slice I recommend you open an actual book, it was against the law for German soldiers to be affiliated to any political parties.

Either way, my initial comment has nothing to do with your cringy sperging.

''Open an actual book''. Oh the vague zingers Brizzy, clearly your WW2 knowledge trumps my own. 'Ether way', you're forgetting who these people are, and who they are fighting for.

Brizzy, the ONLY rules that Nazis followed were one's that fit their latest agenda. For the Nazis, there were no rules. You may be revering to the Weirmacht, but they were effectively silenced after the Night of the Long Knives.

Brizzy Muñoz I do agree with your answer.....

Thanks for sharing this history lesson I do enjoy learning
