These old ships and u-boats are starting to disintegrate. We need to do more of these dives before time runs out.
Where's Aquaman when you need him
Amen. I hate getting older and seeing time swallow everything
@@trottyong ...including YOURSELF-(?)
@@daleburrell6273 ESPECIALLY myself 😜
one of the divers that helped discover how to find out the name of the uboat did a dive recently and swam through the Uboat and the video is on youtube
My Dad was in the Merchant Marines during WW2. One time he sailed from New Orleans to Cuba with a
convoy of 11 ships. The started out at dusk, and arrived at Dawn. Only three of the ships made it. There were
U-Boats in the Gulf of Mexico.
Fascinating documentary. Thanks for taking the time to upload!! Ive subscribed to your channel.
Why would they even attempt to do it without proper equipment, especially knowing that there's a very good chance that they are going to have negative consequences on their health and isn't very smart 🤷. I never understood why we were such isolationist because we thought that the the war was worlds away from us and wasn't our problem, when we had U-boats off our east coast and even in New Jersey destroying ships for years. I'm not anti-war and am proud of what my dad did overseas with the US 3rd Infantry Division, but our government has made some really stupid decisions and can't stand establishment politics. He was there when they blew the giant swastika on top of Nuremberg stadium as well as the raid on Eagle's Nest and was the same division as Audie Murphy. Haha is kind of funny because he was also short like Murphy and was the exact same height at 5' 5, and also earned many metals. So it doesn't matter how tall you are, it all comes from the heart and were great men. Dad passed in 2009 and sure do miss him, but would not want him to see this despicable mess the country has become that they spillt their blood & guts for to keep free 😪
Thank you for sharing. It sounds like your father lived a remarkable life & was boots on the ground for the biggest impact of the 20th century. I can understand how he would find today's America upsetting. Those who fought in WWII are truly in a league of their own.
America had a large isolationist movement leading up to WWII due to the horrific carnage of WW1. It was felt at the time getting involved in another european mess would not benefit the U.S. in any way. As proved true leading up to any war the leadership (and a large majority of people) believe it will be fought like last war and therefore base their decisions on that.
That's the best show I have watched in a very long time thanks
Better to watch Hitlers Lost Sub by 'war documentaries'.
This upload (sadly typical these days) is padded out with general footage not related to story and is quoted word for word (when we DO get to the actual subject matter) from the 'war docs.' version. I know its a personal view, but the narrators voice is awful, bordering on condescending/patronising. One good aspect of this upload..... original poor quality footage (from 'war docs' version) has been cleaned up amazingly and is truly very impressive. I don't want to put people off. Maybe watch the war documentary version for more detail and better story. Then this from 13 minutes for the beautiful film quality that has been produced here by Hindsight History. Deserved a thumbs up on that basis alone.
Thank you for the constructive feedback here. Will certainly be incorporating some adjustments to future projects. I appreciate you watching this version of Hitler's Lost Sub!
@@HindsightHistory
Thank you for your respectful, polite reply. Good luck with your future work. Thanks for the upload. With respect. John.
Nervous just watching. Great video.
your work is all over the place
I won't be deep diving anytime soon after watching this 😅
Likewise, Terry. Plenty still to be seen at shorter depths.
Diving the UC65 at 50m on just a 23% nitro mix I noticed sailors swimming in & round the side of the boat & knowing it was a hallucination I just carried on but knew I was in danger as a solo diver out at sea…it was amazing to be there looking down the hatch as only a few people have ever done since it sunk..it’s like being in a museum that only a few people are allowed to ever go & nothings changed since it sunk.
I will never in my life do diving ! Very scary and dangerous 😱
The box with 869 on it could've been borrowed from another boat.
Groovy documentary.
Really interesting. Cool channel will subscribe.
Thank you! Welcome to the channel.
Admiral King let tens of thousands of merchant sailors die a terrible death As he chose to ignore intel given to him by the British of when and exactly the u boats were. Unbelievable
Fascinating! Quite scary though!
Thank you for watching, Saif! Indeed - deep shipwreck diving is incredibly scary.
Great video but there is soooooo much more to this story. Look for the PBS special, "Hitler's Lost Sub.....it's a 2 hour documentary about finding the U-869.
Strange ,never a day goes by without hearing about hitler 😮
Right on, lfmao
It is good to remember sheer evil. Many are still alive who know what a madman he was. Unfortunately the young people of today know jack s*** about any history and continue to try and do the same evil crap hitlaer did.
Now we joe Biden hitler
Go to 13:40 to get to the Uboat
No way I am ever diving this wreck
It’s deep. Decompression obligations accumulate quickly. Even on a rebreather.
I need a U-boat. Can Hamburg make me one from the old plans? How much would it cost?
Hey Germany, we found your U-Boat!
This is Awesome!!!!
Thank you for watching, James!
U-869 was sunk by a combination of a hedgehog launched by the USS Howard D. Crow and then subsequently with a depth charge by USS Koiner. Two damaged areas on the outside of U-869 confirm this. John Chatterton maintains his theory that U-869 sank herself, when her own torpedo missed its mark, came back around and hit her, but no damage consistent with a torpedo impact was found.
Not what the Navy and other experts said. Damage is NOT consistent with depth charges. Looks like either a torpedo exploded inside the vessel or they were hit by one .
@@phillawrence5148Watch History X's recent video that has a great lengthy interview with Richie Kohler about the multiple dives he and Chatterton did on U-869, and you'll see that the Navy did credit the two US ships with the sinking. There's also great footage showing pretty extensive caved-in damage to the hull, which has been attributed to a depth charge.
@@American_Jeeper The documentary I watched completely discredits the depth charge theory and it makes perfect sense. There are ZERO other wrecks sank by depth charges that look like that, NONE. The Navy experts said it was a torpedo, I believe them. Also the sub wasn't moving when the Coast Guard launched it's depth charges, they launched them so to not take any chances, the sub had already been destroyed.
@@phillawrence5148Ok, if you say so. I'm not going to argue something so insignificant with you, not worth it. You've watched one documentary on the sub and are obviously an open-minded expert.
@@American_Jeeper I'm not the expert, I'm going off what experts say, ship logs and other sub wrecks that were sunk with depth charges that look nothing like this one. But you go ahead and spit your dummy out 🤣. Your massive ego has obviously taken a hit, you thought you were so knowledgeable but did zero research and made yourself look a 🤡. That's not my fault 🤣
I thought this video was about a sub wreck. not lessons on scupa diving. There are thousands of these videos with this same subject. of that same u-boat.
I wonder why these divers do not use the helium / oxygen mixture to enter deep diving, like saturation divers. There must be a reason.
Maybe it was the 1 that Hitler supposedly escaped in!.....
Where did you find all of that blue water in NJ? Oh, it's U-352 in NC
The U-boat isn't the only thing lost
Cool channel
Thank you, Arlene & welcome. Much more content to come!
Their Fate we know. What caused their Fate is what we do not know.
Interestingly a U boat is the German term for submarine so no difference between a U boat and submarine in principle.
زعيم.علم.😮
Watch the video Shadow Divers rather than this Ai thingy. Much much better
Nobody ever cracked the enigma code. They simply recovered an enigma machine and learned how it worked and how to decode the messages
Alan Turing disagrees with you
@@rhower3698Turning was brilliant but it was thePolish who gave a direct copy of the Enigma and the capture of code books from German weather trawlers in North Sea plus the British destroyer the Bulldog retrieving code books and machine itself that cracked it.
