Video

Thanks, groovy flick.

My uncle was killed by this sub ! "Hell Ships" he was on the Karadochi Maru , one of about 600 british , aussie and others being transported to Japan for slave labour that died that night , there were 2 ships sunk and the survivors were rescued the next day !!!!

Like many of the late War “wonder weapons” the Nazi weapons were lethal in promise but in reality the expensive new weapons remained mostly the fantasy of Doctor Goebbles

Por fuera parece una especie de Frankestein lleno de remiendos fabricado en un desguace, pero por dentro es bastante moderno 😂 👍👍

The statement that 40,000 submarines were built and 30,000 never returned is wrong. The type VII and VIIA were built in 709 individuals.

You couldn't imagine being in a tin can, surrounded by depth charges going off. Never knowing if you would see the sky again.

Get rid of that black commercial at the beginning. We don't want to see that garbage.

This was a good video except for the black commercial at the beginning. GET RID OF IT!

Da ist ein Köm missing.

Well done!👍

My grandfather ( T.R.M.) served on this vessel during the invasion he was finishing his schooling & comission at Kings Point 🦅🦅🦅🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲

If you havent listened to ww2 tales " memoirs of a german u boat commander." I highly reccomend.

love how they just poured dump trucks of paint over eveerything

Great video. Thank you

@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.

Germany were way way ahead of their time back in the 30s.

Magnificent machine. Boggles my mind things like this were built so long ago.

U-505 is on display in Chicago Illinois, USA.

👌🏻

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.

Very interesting…….

What chemistry and capacity those batteries were?

That engine room is immaculate. The rest of the ship is looking strong as well but the engine room is better than the day she was built. Great job.

Amazing, tight quarters. The captain’s cabin seen in movies obviously grossly exaggerated

Wow

This beast is in Kiel. It should really be in Hamburg where it was built and take the place of the Russian submarine they currently call a U Boat.

you are so full of shit lmao

I think I saw a sacrificial anode

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 !!

When you compare ww2 subs with modern ones the new subs are like cruise ships with the amount of space and amenities.

Very interesting.

Vidéo absolument passionnante. Thank you for posting.

I promise you back in the day the inside was a LOT darker , now with all those tl-light it is like daylight 🥱🥱👎👎

It’s commented, not commentated.

They were called the”Grey wolves”

What is the song playing at around 15:17?

SUPER VIDEO

I don’t see asbestos wrapped pipes everywhere. Was it removed or not used like in the American subs?

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….

I got claustrophobic just watching the video!

Fascinating 🙂🇬🇧

Thanks for the great video!

I have visited Pampa need to three times. This is a great video. I learned more from this video, then visiting it.

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,

myślę ze projektanci oszaleli bo nie można tak komplikować okrętu

i mean, didnt the xxi given to eng have its turbos removed by its crew?

Lovely quiet seaside town. A bus ride from Kiel through countryside was great. The naval meusem across from the U-boat is an imposing structure.

Time to use my life to build one

Don’t think I’d do too well in a sub, 6ft6in and a bit claustrophobic.😩
