History Should Never Be Forgotten...
An inspiration for the movie "Below". One of the only and best haunted submarine movies out there, IMHO.
I'm glad the narrator doesn't sound tranquilized anymore. ❤

I hope they redo the Korean War documentary because I’ve tried to watch it three times and I just couldn’t get past the first few minutes.
I prefer the old narrator, it’s easy to listen to when trying to sleep. This guy sounds to yanki for me
I cant stand that guys voice either . Glad im not the only one

My Grandad was part of Merchant Navy Crew who shot off The Turret of a German Submarine off the Southern coast of Ireland. I can't find nothing about it. The submarine didn't know the merchant ship was equipped with a Cannon my grandad's crew had apparently been training in Liverpool with it for a long time and where a DAB shot.
How do you think you know WHAT the thoughts and feelings were aboard this mythical ub?
Good video and commentary. I enjoy learning history that I have never heard before. This is a first time I have heard of ub-65
*UB40 served red, red wine*
It may be a sailor's superstition, but a ship that takes workers with it, before its launch, is Cursed and you must not go on board...
Little exemple :
Officially, eight workers died during the three years of construction of the Titanic: four fell from scaffolding, a fifth had a leg crushed during the launch, and three others died in unknown circumstances.
In 1890, during the destruction of the Great Eastern, the very first giant liner, the skeletons of a riveter and an apprentice were discovered in the double bottom.
They had disappeared during construction, thirty-six years earlier.
Knowing that this ship never really worked in terms of profitability and suffered a lot of damage during its career.
The story of the riveter and his apprentice, while being a great story, is pure fiction. There are no records of any workers disappearing, nor of any skeletons being found when the ship was broken up for scrap. It's worth remembering the Great Eastern gave years of brilliant service laying the first transatlantic communication cable. It's a shame: it's a great story!
It is superstition
Didn't Sting want to make a song about the Great Eastern myth?
I must admit I miss the old narrator, but this is much better than the recent episodes.
Unnn computer voice
The Twilight Zone had a great episode with Verner Kempler, "great actor from hogans hero's and many other things" about a uboat. The story was awesome, every time Kempler was awake a strange banging sound could be heard, but when he slept it didn't.
That was an episode of "One Step Beyond "
Your right my memory ain't what once was.@@mikecochran8019
Voyage To The Bottom Of The Sea even had an episode with the commander of a U Boat somehow being on board. I saw the episode in 2023 and thought to myself. "did I really watch this $#it when I was a little kid?"
Elevated levels of carbon dioxide can induce panic attacks and the feeling of impending doom, especially in such tense and claustrophobic settings. Anyway, the ghost is gone now. All is safe.
Just being in a submarine would undoubtedly have caused that also. That would have gotten tiresome after time. Well at any given moment we could all die instantly and no one would ever know how or where & why. And that is the situation with many submarines from WW2 and other time periods. I just wouldn’t want to die in a terrible unlucky accident caused by someone or perfectly bad timing and everyone dies. Kinda shitty to go like that
Carbon monoxide can cause very similar feelings. In fact, anyone who experiences a paranormal event should have the carbon mono and dioxide levels. Just to be safe.
I read many books on this subject what gives this away as fiction is the lack of names mostly the ghost of the second officer and in most cases he does not have a name. Also, if their truth in this surely there would be a incident report on the death of the second officer and the other ratings. It seems most of these ghosts are based on a real object like a submarine, house etc. but that were the story stops and fiction starts.
I imagine, the long history of sailors claiming their submarines were haunted had to do with Carbon Monoxide levels. Increased carbon monoxide levels accounts for quite a few of mistaken paranormal activity.
AWESOME video....Thanks my friend 👍

Thanks
H.P. Lovecraft wrote a short story based on this incident.
He changed the names and setting a bit but it end with the Captain alone
lost in another dimension where the maps are useless and the ocean is endless.
Read a short story of this (or similar) years ago, that when the U boat sank there was a figure of an officer who had died on it earlier had his hand raised as if welcoming the rest of the crew. Cannot for the life of me remember wich book of war short stories it was.
The battle taking place on the Western Front during October 1917 was not ‘the second battle of Passchendaele’, it was the third battle of Ypres, also known as ‘the battle of Passchendaele’.
1:03 Sounds like it hit a mine...no?
He was knocked overboard.... while being depth charged..... Uh, yeah. Totally believable
And let's not forget the end of UB-40
being lost to alcoholism...
Anyway, this story sounds like a earlier version of
the Ghost of Flight 401.
LmfaoL!!! 😆🤣😩😂
Boats and ships are measured in feet
German boats and ships are measured in meters, as are all vessels registered in European countries that use the metric system.
I should know, I used to crew them!
@@Pete-tq6in Agrees
I prefer UB40
None of the film material has anything to do with the story
Thats AI for you
You lost me at paranormal...
What haunting? Or was that the one they supposed to have seen some monster during the explosion? Oh come on....a sub weighs nothing... submerged.
Seems the story teller....is you
You pronounced era incorrectly. And the German ranks. 😂
