  • You're right, however the music I included originally was the techno tune from "Das Boot" and was copyrighted.... so it was not allowed, therefore i put this music in the clip.... it is free of use....

  • Training or real, the whole situation required a ton of courage! I salute these guys, particularly the one on the red floating suit! Thanks for the video!

    Das ist ein 206a Boot kein 212a.

    Das ist einunterschied von fast 1000brt...^^

    Die 206er haben eine Manschaft von maximal 23 Mann.

    Und wenn jemand Krank wird und Hilfe braucht ist er hat er sehr wohl ein Problem (und damit auch das Boot) egal welcher Marine, da auf einem U-boot von solch geringer Größe eine medizienische Versorgung fast unmöglich ist. ;)

  • This German Sub Is not in trouble!

    "That Doc" was just our normal ships doctor, during the period we sailed, he came several times in action. This was one of his most exciting actions. He was not specially trained. I remembered that our CO asked him specificly if he wanted to do this because of the swell. There was no other quick solution for the patient, that the sub was going ashore was no option, leaving his sub by anymeans was no option and there was no heli in the area to winch any docter onboard of the sub.

    The sub was in trouble and it was not a excercise. There was no doctor onboard, the patient couldn't go ashore and there was no heli in the area to bring the patient to another ship for care. The patient was an essential crewmember on the sub, that's why the sub was seriously in trouble. Fortunatly it was not a life endagering situation.

  • I hope the sailor recovered well. We could speculate all day what the condition was, maybe something like appendicitis where emergency surgery was necessary. Whatever, the doctor was brave and so were the boat crew. Shows you that behind the veneer of sailor/submariner rivalry, when it comes down to brass tacks, a sailor helps a sailor no matter if he's surface or subsurface. A job well done.

  • @signalman03 Congratulations on a fine piece of video, Signalman.

  • Jesus, they helped us ! Thank you from Good mOld Germany =)
