    Ladies and Gentlemen, this is Part 1 of memoirs of a German submarine officer and captain during World War II, He was one of the few surviving German U-boat commanders, served on five submarines from 1941 to 1945. From the Atlantic to the Mediterranean, from the English Channel to the North Sea, he shares the triumphant years of 1941 and 1942, when German U-boats nearly strangled England, to the apocalyptic final years of destruction, disillusionment, and defeat.

      He should have been ashamed to tout the ambush "hunters" of submerged murder of commercial / passenger ships HAVING NO WAR RELEVANCE .... as well as guessing right on some occasions - how does an honorable man live with that ! Sorry ... not buying the story.

    I love these videos! Free books are always awesome. His first mission getting stuck on the ocean floor and having one comrade die made my heart race, I can only imagine how much worse others first time out was

    Being a U-boat captain is probably the most extreme game of nerves; you hear the sonar while destroyers top side are dropping depth charges on you trying to make the ocean enter your sub and the pressure of the water is actively trying to do the same you submerge to far you get crushed and if you do get to surface the giant guns of our destroyers and cruisers are aiming at you!

    I remember reading this book 20 years ago. This is from Iron Coffins and the words are by Herbert Werner.
    A fantastic read.

    love these WWII tales from the german perspective. I just wish there was a good way to find these in the order they were put out. At the end of many of these they just stop mid sentence and then you can't find the next video to continue where the previous one left off.

    Whenever you fire a torpedo the game is on .Sooo scary

    Also. The author mentions he had a cabin? Maybe he is referring to the compartment? And he refers to the torpedoes as fish, not eels. Couple other things like calling the deck a "floor". Just wondering why.

    Shit man. Surviving that long in a u boat is no mean feat. More like borderline impossible. How could they maintain bubble with balls that big on board?

    I would never make it on a submarine .I have so much respect for submariners.I would be seasick and claustrophobic

    Interesting fate for U-557. It was rammed by an Italian Regia Marina PT boat, intentionally but mistakenly. Nice little read on Wikipedia: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/German_submarine_U-557. I'm assuming the diarist was not on U-557 at the time as it sank with all hands. Safe assumption, I think.
