[Adamlondon999]

...were you were you would know that many U Boat commanders risked their boats and crews helping survivors. This is well documented, and Karl Doenitz made it a pilicy to not do so after several U Boats were sunk executing this policy. The Kriegsmarine generally pursued a non-nazi and, under the circumstances, pretty noble approach to warfare. Given that they had the highest attrition rate of any armed force in the war, I think we should show them the respect they deserve. They were very brave m

@OnePractice I guess you aren't a student of history. If you wee

[OnePractice]

Some Germans massacred survivors of ships they had sunk. Gutless. The good news is that the Good Guys won the war and most of the U-Boat crews are at the bottom of the Atlantic. If only they hadn't listened to their Fuhrer.

[uboot1967]

@OnePractice Please,read some history written also from germans....

Don't read only the books of the 'goods'.

Germany had no other choice but war.Read some books about the problems that Germany was facing the years before 1939.

England and France blocked the ways to the oil of middle east and Germany was depended on the oil coming from british and french refineries.As you understand,such a big industrial country like Germany couldn't accept it.Like USA today....

[iorixs]

sick international freemasonry creating misery and war to serve their lord satan. poor chaps who were slaughtered for nothing, just so that marilyn manson could crawl around on stage and sing about lunatic horror. demons and orcs have taken over

Too bad they didn't make a time machine.

[48alfaone]

This was the famous newsreel return of the U-969 after sinking an unarmed Hospital Ship with 340 sick kids on board, two months later it was sunk by the Canadians with one shot. The U-969 was also famous for having a 100% all Gay German Crew, some of the men married each other before shipping out to sea. Donitz himself called it the GB-969, ( GB meaning Gay Boat ) not the U-969. Its Famous WW-2 German History.

[iorixs]

@48alfaone where did you get this info from, sounds like hearsay and slander

[adi2511]

@48alfaone Stupid morron... U-969 only torpedoed 2 ships, both american and considered total loss with 1 crew dead and 145 survivors...

[binaway]

@48alfaone In English the word Gay had a completely different meaning at this time. It didn't mean homosexual until the 1970's at the earliest. So why would a German in the 1940's use a 1970's English language expression.

[Corozion]

Great time.

[brithunter1]

i love the U-Boots

[jrwel14]

Torwards the end of the war few came home. Hitler's mighty subs?

[gbwisconsin]

@jrwel14, that is correct. Most were at the bottom of the ocean, with good ships and brave crews lost. They came ever so close to turning the tide of battle in the Atlantic in early 1943, though . . . . . .

[neomuttley]

they weren't out for a typical deployment. Their beards are way too short. Shaving was against regs @the time. I'd guess a week, to ten day shakedown cruise.

[rennpf]

cool

[maatboysen]

Du Stück Scheisse,.............Du hast 0 Ahnung vom Leben der U-Bootfahrer. Halt die Fresse !!!

[Realforever1]

achne der hat gar keine ahnung der freak was labert der für nen müll die u bootfahrer waren die tapfersten männer im krieg

[rantanplan36]

Feige Versager die Handelsschiffe angegriffen haben und derm offenen Kampf ausgewichen sind... DAS waren die U-Boot-Fahrer...

[railadvocate]

Yes... WW2 U-boat operations had the overall highest mortality...

Glad they left the original soundtrack...rather than replacing it with eerie, monster music to help convey the "enemy as monster" message.

Also would like to thank youtube and the rest for allowing posts on such matters rather than disabling the comments portion.

[jegelskersex]

i herad in a documentary that the german kaptains of the subs started too become colder when they had sunk a hospital ship and recued many of the folks who was in it, and an american fighter bomber opened fire upon them even when the deck of the sub was full of people, and forcing them to dive..

is it not more cowardice to sit in a plane and drop something on a sub?

[brithunter1]

@jegelskersex lol this is a movie (Below)

[1815ish]

@jegelskersex You seem to be speaking of Werner Hartenstein and his crew in U156.Yes he did rescue people off the sunken Laconia and yes the Americans bombed his U Boat.Werner Hartenstein has a page dedicated to him on facebook as well as a clip on youtube;just search Werner Haryenstein.

[dunjak111]

@jegelskersex

Thats true..

But also, that in the first year, the german ubaot captains waited until a ship was abandoned, before sinking it.

Yet, since the english learned about that and attacked the waiting uboats with planes, the uboat captains got order to sink any further ships on sight..

[binaway]

@dunjak111 Tell that to my dads cousin. Wait you can't. He was a merchant seaman killed in the first year of the war by a u boat that didn't wait.

[dunjak111]

@binaway

Sure.. Nothing can be generalized, but it was the common thing to do...

[BrokenMinister]

@jegelskersex What makes U such expert to talk about courage and cowardy. All due respects but FUCK U ASSHOLE. Be in war before U talk shit being a hero. Lets see how much sympathy U show when ur family is killed by enemy. SO FUCK U !

[BrokenMinister]

@BrokenMinister Cause Im another asshole too who was priviledged to born WAR FREE era. Lets hope it stays that way. May God bless we all if there is one.

[burrequito100]

@jegelskersex Hospital ships were only attacked - iin one case, very erroneously. Admrl Doenitz stricty had forbidden these attacks - But you are right: German Lt.Cdrs tried in 1939-40 to rescue sailors from ships - were attacked. So AdmrlKarl Doenitz forbade these rescues, if not was secured that no allied aircraft or naval force present... A terrible scenario: oil tanker sailor were burning !!! and drowned in icecold floods !!!

[russhattuk]

@jegelskersex They wouldn't have needed to rescue anyone if they hadn't sunk the hospital ship in the first place.

[Farbar1955]

@jegelskersex At that time it was not American fighter bombers who went after the subs. It was the British (and really any other Allied aircraft) because they were good at it. Dropping a bomb on a sub is not cowardice, it is war. It is always ugly. To drop the bomb or not drop it, there is no good decision here.

[sanpedrojohn]

I hate the cowardess of submarine warfare, but I guess anythings fair in love and war.

[czwij]

cowardice? 28,000 of 39,000 men serving on these iron coffins drowned in them. hardly cowardice.

[sanpedrojohn]

In the early days of submarine warfare submarine commanders surfaced, gave the crews time to abondon their ships before sinking them. But later on, they were torpedoed without warning. To me, that's cowardace. And it didn't matter what they sunk. Everything from sailboats to hospital ships.

[semiauto25]

@czwij Did you even read his comment? He was saying it was cowardly of the Americans to bomb the sub.

[jrwel14]

@semiauto25 Not surprised since it was a Nazi Propaganda film
