  • This,together with the failed attempt of operation sea lion(the invasion of Britain)was one of the turning points in WW2.Had Germany suceeded in either one of this operations,the Normandy invasion would had been almost impossible.

  • I remember watching this classics on T.V. with my father in the mid 70's;i never missed and episode and never did my late father

  • 09:33- It appears that Osama Bin Laden was a Nazi as well!

  • @teslagod2003 This is a 26 episode series. Which two episodes did History leave out to make it an even day?

  • The greatest documentary series ever made .. thank you for making the effort to download ..

  • Thanks for posting this. I have this series on DVD & this episode won't play on any of my DVD players.

  • I bought this series about a year ago. But thanks for spreading it for more to see. It's still one (if not the) best documentary series about WWII.

  • @sponnyx we bought it too tho, its nice to have a great piece of history in the house library

  • Aahh, the uboat packs, the most noble of germanys warriors.

  • would also like to thank you for uploading this series, Moosebelly. you've done something really socially gracious here, not to mention that it has been entertaining me for days now.

  • Both my Grandfathers were conscripted in 1940 / 41 to serve in RN escort vessels until the end of the war. We were kept supplied at a great cost to all sides. Thanks for posting.

  • y so many men are with beards?

  • @sirdard1 Because most submarine sailors had priorities other than shaving.

  • @thtben They never carried enough water for shaving or washing, just for drinking, cooking and the occasional wounded man.

  • Hitler was helped by the so called "democratic" west in order to help them destroying the USSR, do the dirty work for them, and at the same time to weaken Germany. Hitler have other ideas though. When he secured his western flank, then he went for the USSR where the REAL war occurred.

    The Second Front, was opened by the west, only to STOP THE RED ARMY, already in his way to defeat Germany, to ever reach the Atlantic!

    These are the facts, the rest is Western Propaganda and russophobic politics

  • The Battle of the Atlantic was a bitter struggle: the German U-boat offensive against British shipping if properly and fully resourced, as Doenitz had wanted, could have strangled the British war economy and with it, Britain.

  • @RDDR4848 if only the eastern front wasnt such a burden for hitlet,he could have ruled the atlantic,but i dont hitler was a real fan of naval warfare,thus his biggest weakspot,which costed him and the nazis alot of battles...

  • These comments are relevant to this video, in what way? This is purely absurd biggotry on both accounts and a hypocrisy of the utmost stupidity, I constantly see on youtube. I'm an American. Yes, our educational system is atrocious. But how can one critique another one's intellect and point of view when they themselves haven't the slightest idea of what America is like. Go ahead make your generalizations based off of pure ignorance. Our flailing educational system lays with the minorities. End..

  • Your comment was reasonable until the last sentence. Do you blame the failure of the education system on the Black and Hispanic minorities only, or do you include poor white folks in the Appalachia and the south. I'm sure that you know that even if you exclude minorities the American education system is still far behind countries like Finland, Korea and Japan, so who would you blame it on then? Your comment is the epitome of ignorance and I don't blame your failing educational system.

  • @tantareanu instead of writing bullshit do real research ou damn racist fool, damn man your an idiot.

  • thanks for the video

  • 6:10 scumbag!

  • Damoosebelly Thanks you for posting this series I am fascinated with the Battle of the Atlantic and love reading about its history and watching anything related to it. Hats Off!!

    @ AraxisDemo try Silent Hunter III great sub sim.

  • how did the wolf packs do in the baltic? in the seigh of leningrad?

  • Not, you can't operate proper their with old fashioned submarines

  • @Rico8458 Too shallow for the wolf packs, but a communist u-boat managed to sink some German passenger ships with civilians on board.

  • @ NotoriousDeezy5 ...yeah I dont think these documentaries were put together to amuse people...it shows historical events and places and how brutal war is for everyone.......and opening up your comment with "I am black" is retarded. unless you are bright lime green, road cone orange, or some color humans are not supposed to be no one gives a shit

  • Don't be pretentious. He was only saying he enjoys the series.

  • doenitz has the funniest accent ever

  • god bless Great Britain.

  • And the United States

  • And now Germany. And Japan.

  • Notoriousdeezy, isnt it amazing how this series is STILL outstanding in content and form, better than anything, I think on the history channel.

  • your black, And free thanks to Great Britain and go bless America.

  • @saletious That's a good point. Why doesn't the "history" channel run this entire series? Ax men? Seriously? . . . "Those who cannot learn from history are doomed to repeat it."

  • @sidDkid87 they did run it...

    i have watched it and taped it on vhs tape...

    it was a show of an entire day...

    it costed me some few minutes lost in my copy,because i have to change the tape,when it would be full,i always check during commercials,but when i fell asleep,few minutes got lost,coz i wasnt able to change the tape,but luckily its just few minutes,about 5-10 minutes lost in the entire show...

    took me 4 vhs tape at EP,which could record maximum of 6 hrs and some minutes each tape.

  • @sidDkid87 Because they know those stupid shows will get ratings haha. History International and the military channel have good history stuff sometimes.

  • im black and i never been amused by this stufff but this documentary is crazy i cant keep my mind off it ,i deffinetly give this 5 stars all the way damoosebelly i give my thanks !

  • whats that have to do with being black?

  • I'm white

  • If "im black and " would have been taken out of your first few words, you would sound actually credible.

    But now, youre just ignorant.

  • deez, you know a few black people fought in the war too right? like a few hundred thousand. No reason you shouldn't be interested in it. I'm white but I'm interested in african history, is that strange?

  • what history? they never had a history they were tribesman that sold their own into slavery for alcohol and now are mad of the white man for freeing them and taken them in a civilized world

  • @TANTAREANU Your an American douche bag, and a disgrace to your flag, as well as a fine example of your lame educational system. Your own history is someone else's, seeing as you are all migrants. And only 200+ years of it. How can you watch this inhumanity, and then say that the people you incarcerated and put to work for your profits against their will are less civilized than your barbaric race. This is here to inform the world what happens when people like yourself are allowed to run amok.

  • first of all i am not american second off all slavery was back then common the British did it too and many other countries third the neegers were selling their captives or even own tribesmen of lower ranks and children for alcohol and they been doing that for centuries so don't tell me they were civilized they were and still are animals just that now you invented this political correct bullshit instead of letting the law of darwin take it's course

  • read alexandre dumas's (the father) "Georges" you will see how it was with the neegers in the past stop listening to the heard and document yourself the truth is cruel and not politically correct

  • @TANTAREANU They did sell their own in to slavery. What a shame. The white man now has to deal and make amends for 300 years of slavery, meanwhile, other African countries were selling their own into slavery for twice the amount of time. Through experience, all I've ever known of the black race has been bitter. I went to school with them in foster care. They hated me before I even knew what hate was. They hated me because I'm white. I can now conclude, they're the most racist people on earth.

  • @DrummerGuy1990 then you lack understanding...

    did you knew that you white people are far worse racist people on earth?yeah you white are being nice to every race in the world,but it's all a lie,a deception and a minipulation to your own selfsih desire...

  • @thomasrix Not nearly a hundred thousand African American soldiers ever entered service on the front. The majority of African American serviceman, were in the Air Force. All of which, flew with the Tuskegee.

  • I used to play a video game called Wolfpack on my father's 386. I still catch myself humming the title song every now and then.

    nanana NA nana...

    nana nana NA NA NA...

    Too bad they haven't made anything like it since.

  • First time viewer of this series, well found them a week ago and have practically been glued to the computer since, trying to watch them all! Thanks so much for your time and effort.

  • Good timing to do the series in 1973 when many of the big players in WWII were still alive.

  • It still gives me goosebumps to listen to Donitz and Kretschmer talking about the campaign...

  • You've done a real service posting this,damoosebelly! Best series of its kind ever made and hopefully it'll teach some of the younger generation that Brittany Spears just ain't very important -or interesting.These events were.

  • ur not alone with that statement! more people need to realise just wot had happened that might hav changed the world forever

  • dude you are a legend because as far as i know you are the only person who has uploaded the whole series on you tube, thanks!

  • This must have taken you ages to splice up all this for upload. Just want to say thank you so much for taking the time and effort though. It's an amazing treat to be able to watch all this again.

  • Thank you so much for watching and for your kind comment. I hope you continue to find enjoyment in the series.

  • I would just like to thank you too.

    This is a series every human on earth should watch.

    You do us all a favour :)

  • Agreed.

  • thank you really, the submarines are my favorite WWII arm

  • Unbelievable that they actually interviewed Doenitz! This is truly an unparalleled series.

  • They are so proud of sinking unarmed vessels.

  • To a German U-Boat, a ship is a ship. They are all the same and another ship sunk is just one more point in the scoreboard.

  • Also, most of these ships were armed, and of course carrying war materials, whitch makes them legitimate targets.

    (I'm norwegian, it was our ships that where attacked, so I'm not siding with the nazis here, just pointing out the facts)

  • when Doenitz arrived to Paris, he lost the initiative...

  • Well, let me enlighten you sir. Nazi Germany is no longer, it collapsed in 1945. And it's now 2008. See, you can learn something every day and you don't have to spend your time on youtube to prove your stupidity.

    BTW, you're quite good at that.

  • Iron Coffins...they got their ass handed to them

  • Oh yeah ...

  • the u-boat fleet had the highest crew morality rate of any service during the war, apart from kamikazes of course

  • Mortality, dude! Not morality, surely!

  • This TV serie remains the best ever did, about World War II.I watched it, here in Brazil.
