Babe wake up, a new Real Time History Episode just dropped!!!

[@yx0Xaa]

You guys are the best history channel out there!

[@andrewsoboeiro6979]

Always appreciate Jesse’s eagerness to talk about Canada’s contribution to the Allied effort! Canada substantially expanded its navy & merchant marine during the war, such that by 1945, it was the world’s third largest naval power!

[@The_kneidlach_engineer]

My grandfather took my dad to the Montevideo harbor to see the Graf Spee drama. The River Plate battle made quite a stir in otherwise quiet and peaceful Uruguay.

Happy new year!

[@Thevc3podcast]

Love the quality and detail in all of your videos. I hope to provide even a fraction of what you guys are able to do on my channel. Keep up the great work!

[@KoHoSo65]

I sure didn't expect Jesse to pull a Seinfeld reference out of his... 😄

I think we could all use a happy time right around now.

[@lukeskywalker3329]

[@BigJoe5.0]

A great way to celebrate a Friday! Watching real time history 👍

[@alexfilma16]

These men fought and died so that Europe could be conquered by Islam. There is nothing to celebrate.

Extremely informative and wonderful historical coverage episode...thanks🙏 (RTH )channel for sharing

Life and service aboard U-Boats and submarines during this era were a rather unique and special kind of nightmare for their crews compared to other military roles of the same era in regards to the day to day operations, living and working spaces, sleeping quarters, the smells of diesel fumes, oil, body odors, sanitation issues, bilge water, the temperature fluctuations, the limited recreational activities to distract them for even just brief moment, ration quality and ration quantity getting worse as missions went on, having to constantly be alert and on the lookout for enemies to hopefully preempt detection, anti-submarine countermeasures and a whole host of other problems…

[@kidmohair8151]

i usually wait for the "only youtube channel that..." but, proctology and Uboats....plumbing the depths.

[@ДмитроТрюханівський]

With due respect, it should be South Atlantic, not Pacific at 5:04

[@cassianoneto1553]

Also they mixed up the river name, they used the English spelling River Plate but pronounced it as if it were Spanish. In Spanish it would be the Plata river.

[@realtimehistory]

good catch, we will re-record this line for a later release

[@AcousticSalmon]

Please do a video on the Battle of Peleliu!

[@neues3691]

War auf einem Museumsschiff und mehrere Wochen hätte ich auf einen Typ VII nicht verbringen wollen. Selbst für U-Boote der Zeit sehr eng und beschränkt was Unterkünfte angeht.

[@ramielthefifthangel]

I should re-watch Das Boot ....

[@realtimehistory]

Netflix has the TV show edit. Think it's 5 hours or so?

[@bradyelich2745]

@@realtimehistory The TV series, 4 seasons. On CBC Gem with free sign in.

[@AlexHalt100]

@@realtimehistory there is no Das Boot Show as much as there are only 2 Terminator Movies.

[@Uncle_Roadkill]

Not bad in here, is it? No mail, no telephone. Solid wood paneling. Well-ventilated boat. Free food, too. "Rolling in clover" we are.

[@skypilot7162]

The movie, or the techno single? Emergency. Emergency. Das booot. Maximum velocity. Those who know will know.

Love History Of War Ships, Land And Air 😊

[@MUHAMMADAWAIS-g6y]

Make a video on battle of Atlantic 1941

[@checkwikipediasrsly9274]

This is my favorite History related channel. That being said, this topic has been spoken about ad nauseum and I'd say 1k views per hour upon release reflects this fact.

[@shaider1982]

6:59 US submariners know the feeling.

[@carterwgtx]

Yes they were super successful and scared the British high command to death - they didn’t make such one sided deals with the US for destroyers for nothing. However, the British response in shifting ship building to escorts and the sheer size of its merchant marine across the globe absorbed those months of serious peril and then just squeezed the U Boat force to the end.

[@estebancastellino3284]

👍

[@theawesomeman9821]

A cousin of mine joined the US Navy so she could operate in a submarine because she thinks submarines are cool

[@TheLastTocharian]

A Seinfeld reference?

[@superchug2469]

Maybe do a video of American tank warfare in the war along with the American war of 1812.

[@realtimehistory]

we're considering a War of 1812 documentary. But it's a tricky war to cover, so many campaigns and fronts.

[@superchug2469]

@realtimehistory true

It's obvious that the propoganda impact of The Battle of the Atlantic was more impactful than the actual battle was. The largest strain to GB's capacity to fight during the aforementioned battle was a lack of suitable harbors, and rail lines than ran from west to east. As a result, harbors became massively overloaded with cargo, and ships started to pile up as the cargo unloading times increased. Worse still, distribution time tables also were impacted as a result of the inefficient design of the railroad for the unloading and transportation requirements brought on by the need to suddenly need to unload countless ships in harbors on the other side of Great Britian, which had not recieved the proper funding, effort, and forethought to be prepared for its new duties. Had Raeder actually had the necessary Uboats according to his assessment to conduct operations in a meaningful and coordinated matter in force, he likely would've produced great results. And the battle of the Atlantic might be as important or impactful as it's propogandized assessment affirms. Otherwise, its way overblown. At best they merely caused a minor to slightly lesser major concern, and caused the UK to divert some resources into researching, training, and perfecting anti-submarine technologies, vessels, and tactics.
