UBoat Crew & Shadow Divers Legacy

LOCKED IN THE DEPTHS AND NO WAY TO GET OUT, AND
CAUGHT UP IN THE CURRENTS OF HISTORY AND OF THE NAZI ERA , THERE YOU WERE ... YOU MEN, YOU OF 8 6 9 .

YOU COULD NOT FIGHT THOSE POLITICAL CURRENTS , JUST AS YOUR SHIP COULD NOT FIGHT THE OCEAN'S .WHEN YOUR SISTER BECAME WOUNDED, NONE OF YOU COULD SURFACE AND LIVE .YOU WERE SWEPT INTO THE DARKEST DEPTHS .

MORE THAN FIFTY MEN WILL NEVER SEE A NEW DAWN OR AGAIN SMELL THE AIR .THEY ARE HELD IN TIGHT EMBRACE BY THEIR LOVING SISTER UNDER THE WAVES .

SHE GAVE THEM ALL THEY ASKED FOR AND MORE , AND PLOWED THE SEAS AGAINST ALL ODDS ..BRINGING THEM CLOSER TO THEIR TARGETS ,SHE PROVIDED THEM THE FULL MEASURE OF WHAT THEY THOUGHT WERE THEIR FINAL GOALS.
NOW THEIR LIVES AND ALL THEY LOVED LIE BELOW THE OCEAN'S SHOALS .

INSIDE THE TWISTED SISTER ...
THE SUNKEN WRECK , SEEN NOT FROM THE LAND AND SEEN NOT FROM SKY, NOR FROM PASSING SHIPS, OF THE LIVING . ALL ARE SAFE NOW FROM THE SUBMARINERS...THEIR HANDS NOW SILENTLY STAYED. THE MEN OF THE UBOAT CAN NO LONGER STRIKE SHIPS AT SEA .
AT ONE TIME THEY AWAITED THE CHANCE TO ATTACK AND DELIVER SUCH A CRUEL BLOW TO HUMANITY...
-- A SUBMARINE--
IT KILLS OTHER SHIPS ...A TERRIBLE WAY TO DIE ...

YOU MEN OF 8 6 9 ... IT WAS HOW YOU WERE TRAINED. IT WAS THE MISSION SENT TO YOU FROM GERMANY' S WW2 LEADERS.HISTORY WILL WRITE OF THEM ...THESE UBOATS...THEIR CREWS GLORY BEING THEIR IRON WILL AND A SKILLED ABILITY TO CARRY OUT THEIR MISSIONS AND ABOVE ALL ELSE , RISKING A CERTAIN DEATH .

CAN WE CALL THEM BRAVE ? IN GERMANY THEIR FAMILIES' MEMORIES REMEMBER THEM AS BRAVE , AND AS LOYAL SAILORS OF THE GERMAN NAVY. IN THEIR HEARTS THESE GERMAN SUBMARINERS WANTED THE NORMAL LIFE AND PEACEFUL DESIRES ALL MEN DREAM OF... ( Love of Family, a Warm Home ) BUT IT WAS IN OTHER PEOPLE'S LIVES THEY BROUGHT HELL'S RUINOUS FIRES. ( the tragic invention of the Torpedo )

SO WE WATCH FROM ASHORE . MANY DECADES HAVE PASSED SINCE WW2 . WE ARE WARMED BY A WORLD CAUGHT UP IN A FRAGILE PEACE AND SOME TIMES WE SEE BRAVE MEN FIND YOU , U 8 6 9 ,AND SWIM AMONG YOU, IN THE DARK DEPTHS, ALONGSIDE GERMANY'S TWISTED SISTER ... MAY THE CREATOR GRANT YOU A LASTING PEACE ... YOU MEN OF UBOAT 8 6 9 .

The addition of this video about UBOAT 869 is in no way an attempt to Glorify the World War 2 Regime of Nazi Germany.Everyone who reviews the video can read my comment here. Do not bother to type insults or put-downs about various groups (( insert name of group here )) different political or ethnic groups.Poem is about insanity and cruelty that can occur at Wartime to men/women.The poem was done to recognize the courage of the shadow divers who located the ship wreck. Science saves or kills us
