Sinking the Wilhelm Gustloff - part 1

[LittleTeddylove1]

It is sad what happened to the dog

[num1simsfan]

Im guessing they wasted their money on the interior and close exterior shots that they had to get a horrible drawn ship cutout for the far shots?

[bry6542]

wtf is that?! 0:40

[lukum55]

Unrealistic torpedo speed

[ware1293]

That set is amazing!

[TheNLTProductiionz]

2008 DANG!

[johneunson]

although i have little love for anything to do with nazi germany, these were women and harmless, innocent children. no one deserved this fate.

[TheJoshwallace]

@johneunson I agree with you. They had not time for nothing, nor the minimun chance to survive in this frozen sea. It was the worst shipwreck in naval history: almost 9,000 deads. And the worst irony: this ship was formerly a luxury cruiser from an organization called "Kraft durch Freude", offering tours to common workers before the war.

[johneunson]

@TheJoshwallace there was a very good and fair movie made about this awful episode. have you seen it?

[TheJoshwallace]

@johneunson No, I didn't, but I'd like do it.

[Mr19141111]

Naci killed 27 millions Russians in WW - 2,...[ Marinesku ] is may hirrou.

[levelat350]

The Wilhelm Gustloff went down the day Gandhi was assinated 3 years later..

[samk1101]

On a typical work day in 1942, 1943, 1944 and 1945 the Germans would murder that many people in one of their concentration camps. Just a regular workday for Germany.

[SgtStuka]

@samk1101 Learn you History, A concetration camp is where they were held and a Death Camp is were they where Killed. Also many Germans never knew about the camps untill after the war. And on the final note, they were ordered by a ruthless Tyrant of a leader. When you have a Dictator in charge you never say no.

Now that's out of the way, no matter what side, the War was Hell and all sides suffered. So please pay respects to ALL who lost there lives and don't post comments like that. Thank you.

[samk1101]

@SgtStuka See a movie called Sophie Schole, the White Rose. And lets not forget the German Killing Gangs working all over Eastern Europe doing their stuff.

[uofjim]

@samk1101 The Nazi's murdered in the concentration camps - not the German people. Learn YOUR history. Most of the Germans hated and did not agree with the Nazi's.

[samk1101]

@uofjim Very few Germans did much to stop their killing factories.

[WINGTV9]

@samk1101 , Please watch this eye-opening jaw-dropper on YT:

"Cole In Auschwitz"

[Chuckles2979]

@uofjim What a laugh! Most Germans followed Hitler willingly, why, because he did, in the early years, do great things for Germany, ending the Depression. At first, the people were terrified when he led Germany to war. but in the dizzying victories of 39 and 40 they again came to support him fully.

Those Germans against Hitler were very few and scattered. It was not until things started going bad that resistance numbers grew.

And most Germans knew full well what was happening to Jews and Slavs

[BERNTRR]

@Chuckles2979 many knew but also many didnt... my grandmother(in norway) took a girl from germany after the war so that she could live better and gain some fat, she told her that her father was shot when not cooperating with a nazi officer who wanted them to shoot american hostages, how she knew this? his diary ;)

[uofjim]

@Chuckles2979 YOU'RE the laugh, "Chuckles" 

[chickasaw981]

Why do you people keep arguing over who suffered more or who did worse things? Both the Germans and the Russians suffered unimaginably and both committed horrible acts. Torpedoing refugee/hosptial ships, raping women, destorying towns/cities, killing innocent civilians, etc. Both the Russians and German commited all these AND suffered all these. History is not black and white or good vs evil.

[Flickchaser]

Anyone-Where can I find this movie in German w/Eng subtitles? It was here on YT listed as "The Last Voyage" and/or "Wilhelm Gustloff" with Kai Wiesinger. The last 3 German films I have seen are excellent-Valkyrie w/Sebastion Koch-Downfall w/Bruno Ganz-North Face w/Benno Furmann. I'm now convinced, if the film concerns Germany,let the Germans do it. Better wake up Hollywood!

[neopetbb]

За Родину!

За Сталина!

За советский народ!

За Ленинград

[VideoJoeYo]

Ok, why in the world did you interlock a German TV movie from ZDF with homemade amateur scenes of a paper ship sinking into a blue blanket? I was about to discredit the entire TV movie because of it until I noticed that the ZDF logo disappears during the paper ship scenes. I fail to see the reason why you would do that, much less put forth the pointless effort of making the paper ship scenes, when the TV movie is clearly the superior portion of the video. I'd rather watch the UNEDITED TV movie!

[Andersng1]

8:51 you gotta be kidding me

[Ethereal0000]

Густлов являлся законной военной целью, ввиду следующих фактов:

- Густлов не являлся безоружным гражданским судном: на его борту имелось зенитное вооружение;

- Густлов являлся учебной плавучей базой для подводного флота Германии и шел под военным флагом;

- Густлов шёл в составе военного конвоя - в сопровождении боевого корабля флота Германии (миноносец «Лев»);

- Густлов перевозил комбатантов - личный состав школы подводного плавания из Готенхафена и вспомогательный женский военный персонал

[Ethereal0000]

"Это военное преступление.за такое надо судить и вешать всех командиров"

Правильно. Надо повесить капитана «Вильгельма Густлова» за то, что позволил подняться шести тысячам гражданских беженцев на боевой корабль..

[DMG125]

They deserve to die because they supported Nazism, end of story.

It is not a warcrime, but a noble job.

[PANABURDACCS]

@DMG125

You son of a whore, I wish your daughter , your mother and your sister will be raped by a dozen of drunken and dirty mob, to see if you are able to emit a similar comment. You and the people you belong to are ignorant bastards without balls. You and your parents were the nazis, murders ans looters. Fuck tour mother you asshole

[DMG125]

@PANABURDACCS Why are you mad, you're not even a Kraut but a fucking Spic from a Commie-land

[1Historygenius]

@DMG125 If I may speak sir the Nazis did get what was expected from the Russians but you must again remember that the German citizens were made to think this with propaganda same with the Soviets I think Stalin or whoever gave the order was very rude to do this. Capturing the ship for yourself would seem much more a better idea than to just waste it off and sink it.

[raulox71]

All the pain comes back, soviets here kill inocent people. The response of this life is the submarine Kursk sunken and Chernobyl reactor 4 blow away, fuck you murders. And someday the USA are gonna suffer too. Everything that is planted is collected, the Bible says.

[raulox71]

@raulox71 I am sure that maybe one day the USA will pay painfully the atomic bombing of Japan and the atrocities of Iraq, and..... The list is too long, I better stop here.

I repeat: Everything that is planted is collected, the Bible says. One day you will have your Judgement day.

[silentfisher67]

Это военное преступление.за такое надо судить и вешать всех командиров вместе со Сталиным включительно.печально что в России такое до сих пор преподносят как подвиг.ну что ж.нынче во власти апологеты коммунизма.и это надо понимать всем кто еще питает какие то иллюзии насчет России

[Gorinich001]

@silentfisher67 , а как немцы топили гражданских в Финском заливе, Чёрном море, Севере и Ладоге в 1941-1942 так это не военныя преступления? Кто вообще развязал эту войну?

[Gorinich001]

@silentfisher67 , а как немцы топили гражданских в Финском заливе, Чёрном море, Севере и Ладоге в 1941-1942 так это не военные преступления? Кто вообще развязал эту войну?

[PANABURDACCS]

You war criminals of USA and UK think the world is still believing all your lies about WWI and WWII, just because you wrote the history. You were the actual war criminals and time will prove it. The Gustloff was torpedoed thanks to the information of the intelligence services of USA and UK. They knew exactly what they were doing. It was a murder, a war crime. In Nuremberg innocent people were hanged . The real criminals have all statues and are considered heroes

[raulox71]

@PANABURDACCS 1000% Truth.

Where can I get this on DVD? The anniversary is tomorrow. January 30th.

[NuvoLari760]

we germans are not Nazis !!!

This time is more than 60 Years ago !?!?

[Scottbro1000]

i like the germans i like the russians i like the bitts and US i love everyone and everything but i would do the same thing as they did to that ship with out any second thoughs

[Scottbro1000]

its the price of war germans kill all the ships with red crosses on them so we do the same i mean the bittish ship the britanic the titanics sister ship was a medical ship sunk by the germans

[sss7773]

Responsible German persons have pushed some thousand persons on the given warship

That prevented to translate to responsible persons of the German fleet the given warship in the category civil, namely:

 To dump military tools, to lift, instead of developing military men of flags, a flag with a red cross and to land from a vessel of 1000 military officers transported by it then the given vessel became civil and it has not been attacked

[rosafagundes]

war crime!

committed by the animals Russians!

and other allies, owners of the story!

Greetings from Brazil!

[TheQuikk]

@rosafagundes War crime - is to wage war, which killed more than 50 million people. This concentration camps, mass killings of civilians, rape women and children, burning people alive in gas ovens.

[tgamirov]

fuck Nazis and their Titanic

[ToonFan230]

@tgamirov

Fuck yourself with you silly words and think about that what you wrote about!

[sergeontheloose]

Alexander Marinesko, the sub commander who sank Gustloff is the Hero of Soviet Union, and rightly so.

Fuck the nazi bitches - they deserved everything that was coming their way.

[Byggavdelningen]

Is this the movie from 2008?

[xamxelatube]

yes, it is

[TheJonasThomson]

@xamxelatube for some reason it seems a bit outdated?

[MegaTitanicfreak]

they never had it comeing

[TheKlausi1]

So eine Titanic Nachmache!!!

[clearly]

In the event of "Total War" and you must remember Hitlers plan for the semetic nations and his plans for non aryans to serve as slaves for the Master Race I can have little sympathy for these people although they were civilians. So were most of the 22 Million Russians and seven million jews systematically slaughtered.

It is of course very sad to see this but it had to be done just as the germans sank the Lucitania and Mauritania. War is hell indeed.

[Guts01]

@clearly sounds like the kike version of the story.....all lies.



[clearly]

@Guts01 Are you the typical dumb ass American who has never left his own state? Or just your typical Nazi sympathiser? I have been to your country several times because I was in the Royal Navy. I have never heard the Jewish side of this story if "Kikes" are jews. I assume you are a racist by the way.Most Yanks are. You wouldnt recognise the truth if it bit you in your oversized American arse!

[eduardalet]

I'm glad Germany finally made a movie which showed the tragedy of this war crime.Germany needs to be more assertive on the international scene.Russia is still backward and corrupt, you only have to kick in the door and the whole rotten structure will fall and collaspe.

[eduardalet]

I'm glad Germany finally made a movie which showed the tragedy of this war crime.Germany needs to be more assertive on the international scene.

[zabawkarz]

@eduardalet please check who where the scum on the board of G.and perhaps investigate other ships sunked like one full of POW whoos survivors where batered to death by german civilians when reached the shore

[zabawkarz]

Rumanian captain of Russian sub ,I salut you

[Messozhay]

@zabawkarz

Not Romanian.... Moldova man))))

[krugerfuchs]

the gustloff didn't deserve it poland needs to revert back to it's proper form of prussia

[zabawkarz]

@krugerfuchs you germans will never learn the lesson ,perhaps Russians shuld have stopped on French border keeping you as slaves for more than 60 years ,gustloff did deserve it ,you are the living proof of it

[isawman1]

@zabawkarz No one deserves it.Russians or Germans do you like seeing helpless people suffer in terror?.Blood does not wash away blood matey.

[isawman1]

@zabawkarz Your hatered mate is just as vibrant as the worst nazi.I am an Aussie whose forfathers were treated horribly by the Japanese yet I dont hate them nor do I wish them more pain than they have already suffered are you Jewish?

[dettlema11]

Man kann Russen nie vergessen.

[dettlema11]

Man kann des Russen nie vergessen.

[callofdutywawcj1]

GustLoff deserved it.

The Germans claimed 60 million lives during the second world war

DIE GUSTLOFF!!!!!!!!!!

DIE

[UserWithoutUsername]

@callofdutywawcj1

Gustloff hasn't deserved it!!

Ok, Nazi-Germany has killed a lot of innocent people. But the most of the victims of Gustloff sinking were also innocent!!

They had to die, because a criminal regime has driven the whole world into a war!!

[kammefor]

@Dodgerthis are there any czechs involved? another poor neighbour having an inferiority complex, hahaha. your sisters probably working close to the german border.

[IanHunedoara8]

Similar casualties when a U -oat sunk the Belfast- Liverpool ferry in 1918.

[immortal4942]

soviets had submarines? like made out of metal?

[dennie6666]

Sie wussten das es ein Verbrechen ist,so wie die Amis Kriegsgefangene ermordet haben und sich einen Spass daraus gemacht haben und das tun sie bis heute !!!

[SvenTviking]

Lord, there are some foul comments on here.

This was as much a tradegy as any of the 50 million deaths of WW2. Some of the comments below, well you could see the people making them running a death camp.

[MannenQ]

What is this... homemade scenes and scenes from other movies... where is the real one from the movie...

[Ivan6235]

if Germans sink Lusitania, Britannica and many other ships, it did not do these people.If want hate someone , then hate people from the submarines and their bosses

[MTwillman]

there are some parts of the movie "Britannic" in here.

[agatka2007]

" Both sides did herrible things during the war" yea, and Poles suffered the most during and after the war. But their story is seldom told. The sinking of their ship is one of the most tragic things that happened to civilians during the war (if there were any on the ship) Natzis came to power also after the war. People have elected them again. I have seen a movie based on true facts. One Jewish woman malested the former Natzi and called them a murdered in thier own pariament so he resigned.

[Lextjaefvel]

Die Finanzjuden wollten nicht den Wettbewerb

[Brehserman]

[nucemon]

soviet swines killing innocent people, just as they always did.

[jegersejet]

they don't have a fuckin clue bout what theyre doing. theyre all drunk

[scagliettileopard]

@nucemon u can't really say they are killing innocent people "on purpose", what they know is that this is a nazi boat. It was dark and hard to see what sort of boat was it and what were on it. more importantly they were having a war at the time, so anything from nazi will be considered as enemy.

but no doubt that it was a complete tragic and i wish civilians died on MC Wilhelm Gustloff.

[TitanicExpert]

2:45 That scene with the torpedo looks like from Lusitania: Murder on the Atlantic.

[sweetnessboy1]

Germans sunk the Britannic, Lusitania, and many more. Wow.

[Jagemon]

@sweetnessboy1

Well Lusitania might have been deliberate action to get US involved in the war at that time. The Germans even warned in US that the ship is passing through a danger zone and might get torpedoed.

And Britannic was sank by a mine.

[nanderv]

Britannic was a military ship at the time they sunk it.. The wilhelm Gustloff was not! That's the difference.. Both sides did terrible things during the war, but the Germans did the worst things..

[sweetnessboy1]

Well a hospital ship...

[Andrewmcmelonse]

@sweetnessboy1 Britannic was more of a accident - it wasnt intentional

[worldatwar1992]

@sweetnessboy1 You see overmuch Britannic films this is fucking propaganda! The Britannic is on a Watter-Mine driven! just 30 people died!

The Lusitania had ammo on Board and Soldier, not just civilians! 1198 People died.

On the Gustloff wares just escapees! many children and Women! over 9.000 died! so, what is bad? 30 dead ? 1198 dead? Or OVER 9.000!? Learn the REALY HISTORY! AND NOT SHIT MOVIES!

[ormaya1]

@worldatwar1992 what about 13 millions soviet citizens killed during the german accupation? women and children gathered into a church or barn and burned alive!

what r u bitching about? germany started a war of agression and annihilation so what did you expect? you read real history everything is well documented.

[shamar669]

@worldatwar1992

"many children and Women! over 9.000 died!." F **K THEM. German pigs ruined many countries and killed milions of people. They got what they deserved.

[UserWithoutUsername]

@shamar669

They got what they DIDN'T deserve!! How can you say something like that??

Specially these children aren't guilty of the Nazis' crime!!

Hitler has killed so much innocent people during the Holocaust!! Not these children and not these women!!

[shamar669]

@UserWithoutUsername

They got what they deserve - German people gave German Nazis power - German Nazis started war - German Nazis killed innocent Polish People so German people has full responsibility of their crimes.

Who cares about 1 ship when they killed milions ?

[UserWithoutUsername]

@shamar669

Omg!! You babble such a bullshit!!

[shamar669]

@UserWithoutUsername : bullshit ? coz it's true ?

or may U want to write new history ?

[hashem37927]

@shamar669 - I bit if "Leonardo DiCaprio" fu*ked "Kate Winslet" on board of the "Gustloff" you may sympathize with them!

[MrAfstv1984]

@sweetnessboy1 So, because they are Germans, these people deserve to die, right? Interesting point... which is: they're innocent until they are Germans... and when they are, no worries: women, old people, whatever, death to all, right? Man, you think the very same way Hitler did !!!!!

[Ladissea]

I heard about this ship about a year ago. Its nice to know that since this disaster happened people have remembered it actually occurred. Although even in 2009 it seems there is no sympathy for the Germans who died simply because they are Germans and it is before the war ended.

[stefanwattles]

in Google about Wilhelm gustloff he has 3 fates

[CanadianMonarchist1]

This was a really great film I saw it not long ago but too bad there were no english subtitles

[8mcm8]

fuck russians and germans 4ever

[skipergrade]

i'm russian so don't say that.

[turbotannn]

damn russians fucking terrorists

[ukrainesuperpower87]

German submariners were bloody murders who attacked civilian ships and killed so many people

For example, in Barents Sea, two german submariners attacked civilian soviet ship with polar explorers and their families. They have sunk the ship. Survived people tried to escape on two soviet trawlers. German submariners wait when all survived people was rescued to trawlers. Then they attacked and have sunk trawlers, they killed every man.

German submariners=nazi=murders=crimi­nals

So shut the f-up

[Bazgatow87]

@ukrainesuperpower87

This is pure bullshit.

[Jastrzab78]

Stuka pilots was "fucking terrorists"

[atlanticl]

dude, it was WAR back then. Germans were sinking Russian ships civilian and otherwise. Films like these should be a lesson from all sides so maybe just maybe future wars and misery like this can be prevented.

[fredhubner]

Pliii ... lol ...

[fredhubner]

Small potatoes given the number of civilians who died by U-boat attacks ... They wanted total war and they got what they asked for ... as far as I'm concerned Germans should get the same medicine they wished to impose upon the world ... enslavement and extermination ... in the eyes of many, Germany and the Germans got away with it too easily thanks to the damning compassion of a few bleeding hearts who actually were just as racist as the most staunch nazi officer ...

[PrussianLegatee]

Die Kinder haben damals ihre Mütter nicht Mama sondern Mutti gerufen.

[tsboj92]

9 000 innocent die......

[Tacky8523]

Whats the name of this movie?? :P

[xamxelatube]

"DIE GUSTLOFF"

[NuvoLari760]

it makes me soo sad, they havn´t do anything and must die

poor germans

bad russians

[sergeontheloose]

@NuvoLari760

Fuck ze germans.

Because of the germans invading SU, I have never had a chance to see any of my grandfathers.

[NuvoLari760]

@sergeontheloose

I think, you don't know what you're talking about.

The Russians were the stupid people. They destroyed this ship.

[weberblau]

@sergeontheloose

Guess your grandfathers would have agreed to avoid meeting with their idiotic grandchild.

[sergeontheloose]

@weberblau

don't worry, yours wouldn't either

the community of german assholes just got one more troll into their ranks.

[53471342]

Tish movie exist in English?

[GuyverFan95]

Does anyone know where I can download this film? I can't find it anywhere.

[1958tadzik1958]

yeah! W.W.2 that is no problem for german heroes

[XDseed]

My grandfather was at Wilhelm Gustloff,

but he is alive!

I am so happy!

[NuvoLari760]

My grandma should be with her family on the ship, but fortunately they came too late, the ship had already gone.I am also very happy.

[Danieltitanic1912]

Russia is very mean to german

[titanicfan19]

why there is some britannic scenes

[PABLINGAT1972]

russian murderers.

German heroes!!

[sergeontheloose]

@PABLINGAT1972

Fuck you, bitch.

Gustloff was a military target, armed, and carrying Kriegsmarine members.

The Germans never stopped and bombed all the russian convoys with people and trains with Red Crosses.

It was a war of survival - so fuck them all.

[151L107]

I feel ashame for the dog. :(

[superedwardcullen]

that look like my dog

[Pikman01]

Is this the original movie? Becuase there like 3 or 4 Britannic Scenes.

[funnfun01]

yep, this is the original, except for the obvious crapy cut and pastes... ; ) its a two part mini series, they couldn't fit it all into one film. I saw it a couple of weeks ago on TV and it was REALLY good, much better than titanic etc.. the germans seem to not carry on with as much crap in their films. id recommend getting your hands on a copy of this as its well worth watching :D

[VL1302]

There's an older version dating from 1959

[xamxelatube]

I know is also on youtube!
