he was tired of the west landlocking him and taxing him to sell them his oil, i blame british colonialism and its results for most of the wars

this is a piece of junk.

The Enigma code machine had already been broken 2 years before at Blechley Park UK, but kept secret.

S Boat sank my great Uncle's ship HMS Wakeful off the coast of Dunkirk....

I read the book "Battleground Atlantic" twice with fascination - which pertains to your video here! Can't really understand why not much was ever said in WWII history about such an important historical event as this! I also still hold on to hope that someone will make a movie of this WWII event too!

Now that’s how you take out some fish.

no timebomb---CLICLBAIT!

They let it happen so we could enter the war

Bismark didn't have the batteries that the American Battleships had... What are you smoking? I doubt the Bismark could have stood up to a North Carolina or a South Dakota, much less an Iowa....

Those test bombs can be the cause of the many cases of cancer we have to day. It can still be detected all over the world to this day.

Super wow

To: @vatodad Thank you for your comment. It is about time clear and accurate information about fission reactors (I worked for a short time on a system to maintain and review safety inspection reports). I learned a lot from the nuclear engineers.

Typhoon is definitely my favorite of submarine

Too many of you Yanks make me sick with your perfidious lack of respect for Britain. Would that the coming course of world events shall cast down your abhorrent empire-state for all time.

Sorry ment darter

The Carter was a a SUBMARINE not a destroyer

Wow. Such men today are in short supply I fear. Thank you for the telling.

NY times knows nothing 🤯🤔not hard to see that

By times knows nothing 🤯

28 nations only 100,000 troops. Something wrong with

How is it fair when 700,000 is forces and 100,000 other soldiers 🤯🤷🏻‍♂️🤔

Fun fact: take back our canal

What happened to the German Captain?

Pro tip: Never use the word "insane" in a title. Your credibility suffers.

what??

Most of the pictures are of DE's. What's up with that???

is this a documentary or a verbal race,horrible narration

Everyone acts like Germany was the most heinous enemy in war, but the Frontline Fighters were just regular old Carl, Josef, Klaus, etc, and they took care of POW's just as well as their own countrymen. It's like Goku giving adversaries Senzu beans, because they WANT a good, fair fight. An easy kill is almost boring. Likewise, they would take Holidays off from fighting for Christmas and New Years, and the trench fighters from both Axis and Allies played soccer/football, and exchanged little trinkets between sides, as a gesture of good will... They genuinely wished their enemies "good luck" against them, and essentially said; "no hard feelings, either way, win or lose. We're just here because we're paid to do this right now." Which is the most German sentiment I can ever think of. Nothing personal, but we have to try and kill each other. 😅

Those. Banites. Must. Have. Been. Very. Handy. Against. A. Tank.

What I find interesting is the Atlanta-class cruisers, including the San Diego, were originally designed as “destroyer leaders”, to lead a squadron of smaller destroyers against enemy surface ships. As it happened their large quantity of dual purpose 5’ guns made them excellent antiaircraft ships, but really they didn’t reach their potential in that department until they got radar fire control, and that wasn’t their primary role when designed. When they did though, a single Atlanta-class cruiser could put up almost as much heavy AA fire as a South Dakota-class battleship, and the cruiser had an easier time keeping up with the Essex-class carriers.

As 2025 nears, all I'm hearing is: The Russia only has a few big boats, and no other capabilities.

0:29 why there's graf spee in japanese navy?

The first uboat captured, after U-110 was captured by the British in May 9, 1941. U-505 (this one) captured by the US on June 4, 1944. The film U-571 being loosely based off of the U-110 capture by the British, but Hollywood reattributed it to the US because well, it's Hollywood. U-110 sinking while under tow to Iceland.

The most important thing at this time is to get the Enigma machines get all of the intelligence from everybody abandoning ship very quickly but you want to get the Enigma machines, and they were connected with Japanese purple Communications operation, which means you might find the encryption and decryption equipment for the Japanese purple code on that ship

It is one of the great misinformation tasks that the British needed to tell their own people about the sinking of the Bismark. Yes they defeated her decisively but they did not sink her. Divers sometime in the 2000's found her wreck and dove on her. She was sitting upright in the mud at the bottom of the sea. If she had been sunk by torpedo as reported then she would have rolled over and broke apart as she sank to the depths of the ocean. What really happened was the German crew knowing she was defeated opened the sea doors and sank her themselves to keep her out of British hands. That is why her wreck sits upright on the sea floor. From what I read on the findings, almost everything on her upper decks were destroyed, but her hull was remarkably intact.

Ronald Reagan???

Those ships are so bad ass!! I am so glad I am on our side.

It would've been a fast aircraft carrier if finished on time at 33.8 Knots

I was in the Navy then & I transfered off my Ship Nov 1 1990 that was the day they left for the Persian Gulf. I went to Navy Recruiter School & was a Navy Recruiter January 15 1991-Nov 1 1993.

Awesome video .

The Enterprise was the first one to fly Missions at night to

So basically America valued the shops over rescue of the men trapped inside..so much for hypocracy of propaganda endlessly stated about doing everything to save the men.??😅😅

Bet the americans did this. WHAT A LOAD OF HOGSWASH.

Huff Duff ( high frequency ) receivers were developed by the British , not only for the Navy ,but also the Airforce. Its estimated the 24% of all Uboat sinkings was due to Huff Duff detection . The Germans had managed to condense a radio message into a few seconds , and were working on a system that reduced that to micro seconds which would have been nigh impossible to detect. Escort carriers another British innovation were quite useless accompanying convoys across the N.Atlantic routes , the prevelant rough seas usually made deck operations impossible , and were a target for Uboats , thus required extra protection . Their value was in the calmer latitudes .

Thank you.. always good to hear about our Australian forces other than the Yanks

Good, informative video, but you should have included the Acasta's skipper's final address to his men. I don't recall it word for word, but it typified examples of insane courage and devotion to duty found throughout the war: "lads, our chummies are gone and we're just about out of ammunition, so we're going to make a final torpedo run at Scharnhorst". Something to that effect. Crazy how war can simultaneously bring out the worst and best of men, with perhaps no greater example from ww2 being that of USS Johnston and the heroics of Taffy 3.
