World At War: Wolf Pack 5 of 5

[sr633]

Excellant video. I remember The World at War series many years back, on TV every Thursday night -- I never missed it. Thanks.

[spaticus09]

Thank you so so much for all the time and effort put into uploading all of this. Your a star sir!!!!

[Inediblehulk]

I've seen it nine times now (last episode was different), but that ending effect and music still hits me deep each time. It would seem cheesy in a movie, but when dealing with very real and fairly recent histoy, it's just pure fucking haunting.

Why did it take so long for Germany to mass produce U-boats? Wasn't it obvious to Hitler?

[MisterEvasion]

This episode would have been much different had it been made just a few years further. The disclosure of the ULTRA operations (the Bletchley Park codebreakers) was only starting to be released in 1974. Though this was unknown for when World At War was produced, it is interesting to see the other effective tactics that now seem somewhat unjustly overshadowed by the Enigma decryption story.

It's a few years since I've seen this on british TV, thanks

When Churchill speaks the hairs on the back of my neck stand .What a great man

[JamesArranMcGregor]

he helped to plan america's involvement in the first war by ensuring the lusitania was torpedoed. He used to be a hero of mine until i read the truth about him.

[grilfers]

he was a scumbag so much blood on his dam jewish hands :(

[juanecheyt]

the truth hurts , but it doesn't mean he was a bad prime minister.... he was just trying to ensure great Britain was helped by a country as powerful as the US.

If the US hadn't helped..... The UK would have been surely destroyed.

[cityrcrud]

great commander, he was the enemy but he was also a gentleman and he lost just as much, if not more during the war as millions others did. r.i.p all who lost their lives fighting for their respected countries.

[septiemakkoord]

With respect for his profesionalism, : he loses his greatness and is degraded to a moral idiot by fighting for a wrong cause : fighting for Hitler, for the destuction of the jewish people.

[woolvett22]

your so stupid and ignorant he was in the Kaiserliche Marine in WWI and was a navy man if you could pick up a book you would know that out off all the divisions of the Wehrmacht the Kriegsmarine had the least political involvment. Don't wirte about things you don't know about fucking moron

[septiemakkoord]

So they were pretty naive ! BTW the same for you and that a hundred times more than you can ever call me moron :-)

[DaiJonesful]

@woolvett22 Bush sent men to die for nothing, and all his buddies got rich as a direct result. History will see it as a crime. But do we call our soldiers "degraded", and "moral idiots"? Just because someone is on the wrong side, does not mean their professional war craft skills were not admirable qualities. Indeed, so far this series demonstrates how naive the allies were initially, and how skillful the Nazi machine was. History looks at what is, and not how we would like it to be.

[DaiJonesful]

@cityrcrud - None of the Allies fought for their country. Nationalism was not a part of their citizen's makeup. They were fighting for freedom, resources, and their way of life. And total respect, as you say, for those who gave their lives so we could benefit from those freedoms. Incredible documental records like these remind us of the responsibility that these freedoms come with.

Mr. DaiJonesful ... a dealer in fantasy who sits in the rubble of his own making and imagines that he's the last man on earth doomed to a predition of an utter loniness because practical jokers turned it into a nightmare ... Mr. DaiJonesful ... pallbearer in a reality he manufactured himself in the neo-nazi zone ...

[cchj768]

@DaiJonesful I don't understand what you have said. The Allies did fight for their own countries as well as everything else you have said they fought for.

[Ticonio]

Doenitz knew that he was behind in technology and tactics in 1943

[accident777]

yeah well he has to pass the honour to winner of the war or else they will charge him for war crimes.

[Ticonio]

personally I think it's good that he wasn't sent to death penalty, he was a truly honest commander

[spencnaz]

This is one of the best if not the best documentaries of WWII ever done of that horrific conflict. Being able to hear Doenitz accounts of the Battle of the Atlantic only adds to the weight of this pinnacle of historical documentation.
