Any man who says he wasn't scared during a depth charge attack is a liar! lol....

Lucky that bow depth rudder wasn't stuck in January - they would be about right fucked. -30 was the temperature recorded INSIDE a U-Boat operating off Newfoundland in January 1943.

ROFL@ the chessboard (2:49) ... That's the ultimate example of remaining cool in combat - You play chess while your boat is being depth-charged...
Btw. What board game could that be? Cause it's not an ordinary Chess board(it has got twice the width and length)

wow scary, uboats are like German serpents in the garden of North America. lol

it's great you upload all those newsreels. im from germany myself and im very interested in world war 2. this is really interesting. thanks a lot again!
Strange... What is shown at 3:05 is Pointe-des-Monts, there's an easily recognisable feature, a lighthouse; then he points to Cap-Chat on the southern bank (another lighthouse). This is where the St-Lawrence Gulf begins and what we see at 3:24 looks indeed like the southern bank in this area. What ticks me: U-517 torpedoed HMCS Charlottetown, right there, 11 September 1942, . Could these images been taken from U-517? Not much Uboot activity reported in 43. They will come back in 44-45 though.

Propably. Sometimes more than one war reporter were deployed. When there was enough space on the boat that is.
It could also be that it was just a crewman taking photos for the war reporter while he was occupied with filming.
