  • Mind-bending TV series hosted by John Newland, your guide to the unknown! Based on true, supernatural events that defy scientific explanation, this show appeals to fans of The Twilight Zone and The Outer Limits.
    THE HAUNTED U-BOAT: Stars Werner Klemperer, best remembered as Col. Klink from Hogan's Heroes. While on patrol during WWII, a German U-boat attempts to evade detection from the sonar of the American and British ships. But their location is repeatedly betrayed by the noise of a rhythmic banging sound caused by someone, or something on board the submarine.

      @@TheKazadoodle That's not to say there weren't serious, even weird problems with the series. One I have really noticed lately is the strange code of ethics. In one episode, the boys overpowered some German guards -- possibly SS guards, though I do not remember that detail -- but they only tie them up, rather than knifing them. They run a risk to keep these guards alive. Then they wreck the train, with the implication being that everyone on board dies. They do this kind of thing a lot -- never killing people on screen, but happily blowing up trains, factories, whatever, killing both military and civilians, men and women. It might make sense for them to be squeamish, as good guys; it might be more realistic to see them as ruthless, out of practical necessity. Either way, they should be more CONSISTENT.

A week later, she torpedoed the British freighter Gravelines northwest of the Bloody Foreland (western Ireland), which broke in two and was declared a total loss; the forward part of the ship was towed to the Clyde and scrapped. On 2 June U-147 encountered convoy OB 239 near the African coast and attacked alone (a decision which historian Clay Blair described as "bold"). She damaged one ship, (Mokambo), before being sunk with all hands by a British destroyer, HMS Wanderer, HMS Periwinkle.

The man turned his gun on 13 year old me and my Dad hit him somehow on the side of his neck and the guy was out cold. Dad told me to get back on the touring motorcycle he had just bought and we rode in a pouring rain to the first business we came to. We went in and he used a phone to call police. But yes, I saw it myself. I asked Dad how he did that 100 times after that and he would only say, lucky shot I guess, kiddo. I took care of him after he got a type of oxygen depravation dementia.

His father was Jewish by birth; he converted to Catholicism but later returned to Judaism. His mother was Lutheran. His grandfather was part of the Jewish community in Prague, and his grandmother was a Sephardic Jew from Hamburg, Germany.

    In 1990 I was at the Royal Navy Base at Portsmouth, and got chatting to a civilian Historian.
    He told the story of the Battleship HMS Warspite, a First World War veteran of the Battle Jutland.
    She was in for major refit in August 1939, and during checking a bulkhead they found 2 skeletons.
    They were of two young sailors, who believed to have been washed overboard at Jutland.
    They checked the RN records and found out both only 16 years old when they passed away.

      The Warspite was the ship that did huge amounts of damage even though it was tiny and when they tried to scarp it the ship escaped.
      They were towing it to the scrap yard when the line broke and it floated away.
      Some time later they found that it had beached itself on some rocks and no matter what they tried they were unable to tow it free and take it to scrap..
      The ship never gave up.

      Mark Wilko The battleship USS Nevada has a similar story. It was the target ship for the atomic bomb test at Bikini Atoll and took a direct hit, but didn’t sink. It was towed to Hawaii to become a radioactive research lab, but broke loose in a storm. She was declared a menace to navigation and hit by two 16 inch shells, 2 torpedoes, and an early guided missile but still didn’t sink. One more 16 inch shell finally put her on the bottom. However..after the ship was sunk, an accounting review found that due to a shortage of copper in the early part of the war, the circuit boards for her main guns, damaged at Pearl Harbor, had been replaced with the next best available conductor: solid 24 karat gold. She took more than $2 million of 1947 value gold to the bottom with her.

    Something similar happened in the US Navy, I think on the Kitty Hawk. She was going through refit sometime back in the 70s when someone who was looking at the plans realized that there should have been a workspace on the other side of the bulkhead. So they cut through the bulkhead to find a completely equipped machine shop...along with the skeletal remains of two yard workers. Apparently, the two yard workers had been entombed during a prior refit. One would have thought that the supervisor would have noticed a couple of his workers suddenly going missing....
