Allied anti submariner technology eventually won. The allies just had more engineers, scientists&greater production capacity. US Navy submarines conducted the only successful submarine campaign against Japan because of it's industrial capacity & the Japs ignored the submarine threat until it was to late. British subs in the Mediterranean had great success which is largely ignored by history because it was never going to win the war. Dutch & RN subs in the Indian Ocean also achieved a lot.
Alexander Marinesko was the number one. on January 30 he carried out the "torpedo attack of the century", the sinking of the liner Wilhelm Gustloff to say nothing about Steuben
The problem is that over 30 000 german u-boatseamans and over 30 000 alliierte seamans where killed by this silly u-boatwar
My last month died friend Gustav 91 years old was one of the germans u-boatseamans and was he told to me was not good - R.I.P Gustav and shit by war !!!
German Fortitude! Too much enemies, but dont mess alone with Germany. German Army was such great and powerful, the Nazi Ideology insane and despicable. A. Hitler has no hunch of War and Strategy, but the Wehrmacht Generals were intelligent people (Heinz Guderian or Erwin Rommel for example). Hate the Nazis, long live German Fatherland and the Germanic Culture. God bless the Western Civilization!
Yes I agree with you 100%. That fool screwed around with the country, Europe and if not the whole world; and when he learned of his failure he abandoned his country!
The bombing of Dresden is a fiction promulgated by holocaust deniers. Only a few people were killed, and they were Nazis, so who cares? haha screw em
GERMAN UBOAT IS THE BEST EVER, UNFORTUNATELY THEY LOST THE BATTLE IN ATLANTIC, IF THE U.S. DID NOT ENTER THE WAR . PROBABLY GERMANY WILL WIN THE WAR. GERMANY ALONE FACE THE U.S. RUSSIA,U.K,FRANCE IN THIS WAR.YET THEY STANDSTILL AGAINST THIS POWERFUL NATIONS.DEFINITELY GERMAN TECHNOLOGY.
I must say that the nazi politics were crazy'ly racist but their dictated army, navy and air force were really good and you must not blame the soldiers because most germans (by research) were anti-nazi they just followed the upper orders. But the strickt navy was really good and the engineering and fast manufacturing of U-boats that was just really brilliant (too bad that the engineers were nazis)
@mjfan653 couldn't agree more. Like many of us, the bulk of the germans were only too glad to see their country "get turned around" after the debacle of WWI. The, not unlike us, were willing to overlook a few early "periperhal issues," for the good of the country...not seeing how those peripheral issues would plunge Europe into one of it's most horrific wars. (Based on impact to civilians, I"d call i the most horrific.)
German U Boat crews fought with great courage and distinction during WW2.They fought with a sense of honour.It was a time of war with many atrocities taking place on all sides.But the U Boat crews and indeed in the case of Werner Hartenstein and Hans Langsdorff,they never forgot their humanitarianism.The bravest of the brave.
i already watch the german movie das boot... i think a hundred times in 2009... i just stopped watching it when it already damage... thoug i depend just on the subscrept but still i love the movie... i love werner... and the captain...
The WW2 Kriegsmarine and the Japanese Imperial Navy are both very good. It is a mystery though which is the best as they both rest at the bottom of the seas.
First one to go down was the Graf Spee then in Oslo the Bluecher. They got a battery round right between the captain's eyes. That's what happens when you are not invited.
@MeBest777 those were not advanced subs. the british had faster and larger ones at the time. germany too had developed better boats but they just sent these chaps out to die in these obsolete ww1 iron coffins
Maybe uboot1967 has a good point, there were many reasons. But when there is only one nation that has to have many nations to stop it, it does make one wonder. I have read, watched anything that I can find, there will always be different answers to every view...
Always there is someone who speaks off what they do not know. Agree with beatcat22, I have seen this movie "DasBoot" it helped me understand what my father went through during this time. As for Hilter, well, he never listened to any one, why else would he (Hilter) would have had a great man like Rommel killed??? Ask yourself, then rethink your statement!!! Please go back and read your history....Dunca!
If england and Germany could have been united without this maniac England would not be full of the islamic bullshit to-day, that evryone has had enough of lol
007ovensmasher: U Boots were feared machines of stealth destruction manned by highly trained seamen that inflicted brutal damage between 1940 and the summer of 1943 while anti-submarine detection technology and tactics have not evolved to challlenge their threat. They were defeated after the allieds refined their technology. Pre and during the war Germany build nearly 1000 U-Boots and never had the capacity to build 16000. Great for the world and mankind and thanks God Germany was defeated.
@ingenuosqasim The founders of the E.U. had no traces of malignancy. The same cannotn be said for the east europeans Whose cells have been lying dorment.
Hitler underestimated the economic power of the USA , and he underestimated also the quantity of people of the USSR. He had to fought on more than 5 fronts : the 3 main fronts in the East , the Western front in 1944, the African front and the war at sea. Impossible to win such a war. At the end of the war the usa constructed 1battleship EACH day......Germany was doomd to loose this war , regardless of the competent and skilled soldiers of the German forces.
Im reading Torpedo Junction at the moment - hitler consentrated the u boats around Norway & the med sea., instead of putting more of the " wolf packs" into the atlantic.
Churchill said he feared the u boats the most.
There is 15 million tonnes of supplies at the bottom of the atlantic ocean. In comparisim Germany sunk more merchant tonnage than the total military tonnage sank at pearl harbour and midway put together.
@ArturasDzeikas Not 100% true. I know you are probably a fan of them but you should know that they did lose World War II.
P.S not the best armies but very interesting. The kriegsmarine is very exciting to learn about. I recommend reading the book "U-Boats at War" by: Harald Busch
@PolskaProdigy yes I'm fan of german military and tactics during ww2. Yes they lost it just because of one mad man. P.s. Thx I will try to find it at local library :)
In some of the pictures you can see them wearing British battle dress captured after Dunkirk. The Germans gave them to the U Boat crews. If they had given them to anyone else, then they would have been in danger of shooting each other.
If they had built more U Boats in 1940 and 41, then they could well have starved the UK into surrender. Different world.
I'm not sure what you mean by "more". How many more could have even possibly been built?
According to Uboat sailors themselves, this was always a completely hopeless effort. They never sank enough ships to make a signifigant difference, and couldn't once convoys became well defended.
according to the books I have read, the U Boat was the most effective German weapon. If Hitler had built more of them, and put off invading Russia for a year or so, then he could have had several hundreds more. Britain would have lost thousands more ships, and have been starved into some sort of surrender. He could then have destroyed Russia at his leisure. Of course, thats only one possible outcome. But it is very possible.

War isn't the solution to any problems. Im sure Germany would be a magnificent country if their Führer wouldn't start the war and turn most of the Europe in to a burning rubble.
The Germans were superb soldiers or fighting sailors. On land and sea, the Germans were tactically excellent at fighting their wars, even if strategically they made errors. The U-boat crews were highly efficient and led by that tough little admiral, Doenitz. Two great wartime German operational leaders were Grand Admiral Doenitz and Field Marshal Model. Excellent men.
Ja, aber wie sind sie denn geendet, die tapferen Soldaten der Wehrmacht? WIr brauchen so eine Armee nicht mehr, und heute geht es nicht mehr um Führer und Vaterland und den Endsieg.
Die Bundeswehr hat andere Aufgaben, und gute Leute können ihre Fähigkeiten immer noch zeigen.
you shouldn't talk with such filth, it is bad for your soul. There are doctors that will help you so your anger dosn't get away from you. I'm not sure why you are so upset but I will try to understand. I can see by the videos and music that you like that you must be quite young, maybe 15? If not then you may be narcisistic as well. Anyway try to be happier in your life. And take care ok? Peace
There is no heroisme in dying at war, heroisme is taught to you by those who want you to die for them to aquier power. German indistruals wanted world war 2 and made a shit load of money from it, US an EU industrials are doing the same with american british French and other nations citizens, who nahively think they are fighting for a better world.
Well if you are convinced, enlist make the world a crappear place, die, and you'll become a heroe but its just a matter of opinion. To post such comments, it appeares you've never faught and never saw the horrors of war. Those who initiate wars are rarely those who die frome it and they talk about heroes only to encourage others to replace the dead or wounded. Go see for yourtself.
This WhistleJocket is so, so typically Canadian--Hates USA, probably eats American cereals, many family members work for US companies, and they hate the USA--

"u needed USA to save u." With all due respect, it was the Soviet Union that broke the wehrmacht. And this is coming from a Yank. The US and UK kept them in the fight through convoys, but Germany lost the war on the Eastern Front.
To be fair, we must admit in the West that the Soviet Union did more to win the Second World War than any other country and suffered the worst for it. As Roosevelt wrote to Macarthur in 1942: "The Russian armies are killing more Axis personnel and destroying more Axis materiel than all the other twenty-five United Nations put together." Roosevelt has said it all.
"Soviet Union did more to win the Second World War" I heard somewhere that 3 out of 4 German casualties happened on the eastern front. I can't swear to the accuracy of the statement, but it can't be too far off.
the anwser to this is that the soviets had unfinished business with the germans and didnt take mercy on them + pow slowed down the pace and stalin didnt want this so thats were the high numbers
Hey have you ever thought that the americans needed us Brits to win the war for them?
Our country was on its own against Japan Germany Italy and all their troops Rumanians etc. for nearly 3 years.You won when nobody was ready .thats very typical German sneaky und unsportly just like your cheating football team
Most of your players are not even German.Funny isnt it that you need Polish players to win..but you hate the Polish people ...All the Polish jokes and hatred...am i right???
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
NO! we won the fucking war ...we conquered you...now doesnt that really hurt you?Doesnt that really make you krauts feel so sick?I know it does...it really pisses you off so much haaa haaa.Mind you at least you have the satisfaction of having won at Wembley!!! GUFFAW.....I LOVE WINDING YOU BOXHEADS UP...
2 world wars and a fucking world cup doodah doodah....:-)))))whats it liking bieng loosers?
i handled it cos im fucking hard and no kraut would ever get the best of me understand?
I just find it crap the way people are treated here.I would never treat a black chinese turk kurd or even a German the way some germans treat foreigners here.For some reason Germans think all foreigners are deaf....
Really enjoying stiring shit here...you krauts bite so well...you always have and you alwys will...its so easy to wind you fuckers up...dont mention zer war Bazil haaaaaahhaaaaa
i am a kiwi, i respect all those who fought. They had no choice as to who to fire upon. Kill or be killed was the motto. from my family to yours with understanding ove steve
i have lived here for the past 20 years and i have been treated as a ausländer prick when are you people finally going to grow up...you pretend to be so good but you really are so full of hatred you build really ugly cars ...porsche mercedes audi vw ... they may be efficicient but they are german and ugly like your men fat bastards your women are waiting to be fucked by real men who are romantic
You are a real moron... Then why did you stay that long and are still there if you hate Germany that much? I'm also living in a foreign country but wouldn't have staid there for one single day, if I would despise it as much as you do Germany. I'm sorry to say but people like you are clearly the worst.
I didn't find any hatred while I was there. Some were very kind to me, a few were somewhat brusk, but they have every right to be as they please. I'd much rather someone to be honest instead of putting on a false front. I was the visitor. It's their country.
just visit a "Schutzenverein" or something like that and you will find a DEEP rooted hatred..of everything not German.Also why should i go home .I never said i didnt like Germany.I have a RIGHT as a European to live and work here...it doesnt mean i have to like everything or everyone.. that is in the German Verfassung MEINUNGSFREIHEIT....that is something your country was given by my country after WW2 the right to say what you like....do you now understand what im saying?its MY right
I'm afraid you misunderstood my post. I never said to "go back" to wherever you're from. However, I must disagree with your assertion that German citizens have a guaranteed right to free speech. Anyone in Germany who questions any alleged facts of the Holocaust is swiftly indicted, as well as ridiculing any state sponsored immigration policies. This is actually "limited free speech".
i am welsh ... i served AS A SOLDIER from 1977 until 1992 i have worked in german firms.. only on one occasion can i say that i have not been mobbed...as ein auslander
Hmmm, didn't know that there were people this stupid. I think you need some history lessons. You probably never heard the story about an allied submarine shooting survivors in the water. Or about a german U-boat picking op survivors and bringing them to the irish shore. You can't say every German was bad or that all allies were good, in war it just doesn't work that way mate.
@fucjape: rest assured that germany is not going to repeat something as horrible as WW2. And I don't think that many of the actions of the german military can be honored, but the U-Boatmen where mostly honorable men. Besides, there is a great difference between the regular "Wehrmacht" and the "Waffen SS". Check it out on Wikipedia, if you please. And if all else fails, pay Germany a visit and actually talk to some people. Most of them speak english, you know.
I Think the germans did the best in the war. the u-boat men werent afraid of anything. they fought till death and that takes a true sailor,they have my full respect more than any other country that fought in the war.cant beat a wolf pack
The Germans were simply the very best at whatever they chose to engage in. How else could they have been able to fight so many different and powerful countries for so long, and almost actually win as well? Bravo brave German soldiers of WW2, I salute you all, as you are all real men and true heroes.
they were good and brave alright, but cut the fucking hero worship, millions were killed and there own country was totally smashed! war is not a sporting match, stick with soccor heroes if you want to admire someone
Well said oldtyrone. We're all human and its too easy to be sucked in to that stuff. I loved the uniforms etc. but so did those kids who joined up..and look what happened to them!
@Skorzeny777 thank you, someone else who gives respect to my great grandfather, i know you will probably never read this comment but thank you, he did not support the nazis but he sure did fight and all people ever say is goddamn nazi.
Yep, they sunk alot of ships. Plenty of bombs and rockets on England. So...They got it all returned to them in the way of day and night fire bombs. Hamburg,Dresden, Berlin..Delivered by the Bomb Mofia. 8th airforce and bomber Harris RAF.
4 out of every 5 u boat crew who set foot on the deck of a boat died ... a u boat man who served from the outbreak of the war had virtully no chance of surviving the war only men who joined the boats later survived...no men on any side were braver than the u boat crews and i say this as a british person ...
The US operated the same kind of submarine warfare in the Pacific against Japan. It is not unlike Allied bombers targeting German cities and factories. War is an awful business.
You have to respect the honor and bravery that these men had, especially their commanders. These crews with their u-boats were very deadly. By the way, it was not terribly wrong to sink merchant ships. We US would have done the same thing. Even though WW2 was a terrible war, I still respect.
The US "DID" do the same thing ask JAPAN! Many a set of "SILVER DOLPHINS" lay on the ocean floor in the PICIFIC. As well as JAPANISE MERCHANT ships "MARU".
sounds crazy but just been playing silent hunter 3 (pc uboat game) had all the lights out and the speakers on man I felt so scared when a hunter class ship found me, I dived to the max but those d charges shit me up big time would of hated being in one of those things.
Contact, I would be the last to say that the U-Boatmen were cowards. The thing is, they were brave sailors who defended there country. We sailors do not follow politics. We follow orders. Right or wrong, we have to obey them. I cannot respect the U-Boatmen for doing any less. I am an old sea warrior. =Stefan=

US Navy submarines conducted the only successful submarine campaign against Japan because of it's industrial capacity & the Japs ignored the submarine threat until it was to late.

Churchill said he feared the u boats the most.
There is 15 million tonnes of supplies at the bottom of the atlantic ocean. In comparisim Germany sunk more merchant tonnage than the total military sank at pearl harbour and midway put together.

War isn't the solution to any problems. Im sure Germany would be a magnificent country if their Führer wouldn't start the war and turn most of the Europe in to a burning rubble.

The Germans were superb soldiers or fighting sailors. On land and sea, the Germans were tactically excellent at fighting their wars, even if strategically they made errors. The U-boat crews were highly efficient and led by that tough little admiral, Doenitz. Two great wartime German operational leaders were Grand Admiral Doenitz and Field Marshal Model. Excellent men.

Ja, aber wie sind sie denn geendet, die tapferen Soldaten der Wehrmacht? WIr brauchen so eine Armee nicht mehr, und heute geht es nicht mehr um Führer und Vaterland und den Endsieg.
Die Bundeswehr hat andere Aufgaben, und gute Leute können ihre Fähigkeiten immer noch zeigen.

you shouldn't talk with such filth, it is bad for your soul. There are doctors that will help you so your anger dosn't get away from you. I'm not sure why you are so upset but I will try to understand. I can see by the videos and music that you like that you must be quite young, maybe 15? If not then you may be narcisistic as well. Anyway try to be happier in your life. And take care ok? Peace

There is no heroisme in dying at war, heroisme is taught to you by those who want you to die for them to aquier power. German indistruals wanted world war 2 and made a shit load of money from it, US an EU industrials are doing the same with american british French and other nations citizens, who nahively think they are fighting for a better world.

pROTPANDA 2 years ago 2
Well if you are convinced, enlist make the world a crappear place, die, and you'll become a heroe but its just a matter of opinion. To post such comments, it appeares you've never faught and never saw the horrors of war. Those who initiate wars are rarely those who die frome it and they talk about heroes only to encourage others to replace the dead or wounded. Go see for yourtself.

"u needed USA to save u." With all due respect, it was the Soviet Union that broke the wehrmacht. And this is coming from a Yank. The US and UK kept them in the fight through convoys, but Germany lost the war on the Eastern Front.
a0e0roberts 3 years ago
To be fair, we must admit in the West that the Soviet Union did more to win the Second World War than any other country and suffered the worst for it. As Roosevelt wrote to Macarthur in 1942: "The Russian armies are killing more Axis personnel and destroying more Axis materiel than all the other twenty-five United Nations put together." Roosevelt has said it all.

"Soviet Union did more to win the Second World War" I heard somewhere that 3 out of 4 German casualties happened on the eastern front. I can't swear to the accuracy of the statement, but it can't be too far off.

I'm afraid you misunderstood my post. I never said to "go back" to wherever you're from. However, I must disagree with your assertion that German citizens have a guaranteed right to free speech. Anyone in Germany who questions any alleged facts of the Holocaust is swiftly indicted, as well as ridiculing any state sponsored immigration policies. This is actually "limited free speech".

Hmmm, didn't know that there were people this stupid. I think you need some history lessons. You probably never heard the story about an allied submarine shooting survivors in the water. Or about a german U-boat picking op survivors and bringing them to the irish shore. You can't say every German was bad or that all allies were good, in war it just doesn't work that way mate.

@fucjape: rest assured that germany is not going to repeat something as horrible as WW2. And I don't think that many of the actions of the german military can be honored, but the U-Boatmen where mostly honorable men. Besides, there is a great difference between the regular "Wehrmacht" and the "Waffen SS". Check it out on Wikipedia, if you please. And if all else fails, pay Germany a visit and actually talk to some people. Most of them speak english, you know.

You have to respect the honor and bravery that these men had, especially their commanders. These crews with their u-boats were very deadly. By the way, it was not terribly wrong to sink merchant ships. We US would have done the same thing. Even though WW2 was a terrible war, I still respect.
