  • 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.

  • @ThibetanMonk

    Thats possible. Sadly i dont have detailed informations about the footages.

  • is that a camera man at shown at 2:28?

  • 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.

see all

  • 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!
