One u-boat captain, Reinhard Hardegen, decided to read a book while being depth charged. The idea was to set his crew at ease - “if the old man isn’t worried, it’ll all be alright”. Then one of the crew quietly pointed out to Hardegen that he was holding the book upside down!

I agree, such an amazing movie. i'm a 101st Airborne Division Veteran and have always highly respected those that served on submarines. But, today I toured a WWII submarine for the first time. My respect for these people has quadrupled. Even the best movies have not adequately depicted just how courageous these sailors were to operate under such conditions in confined spaces that make the movie scenes pale by comparison. Wow. I'm so proud to be a member of a species that has produced such astonishing men.

[@gastonbell108]

One of the few service sub-branches with a higher casualty rate than the bomber crews or the infantrymen was the U-boat crews. I think the end-of-war survival rate was around 25%. 1 in 4, for every single man who ever stepped foot in one during the war... We who are about to die, salute you. Subs are weird like that. Like a bomber but without any parachutes, and with a lot more dudes in a lot smaller, scarier place... they say the actual dying in a sub is not terrible (usually), but the depth charging is hell before the fact.

Imagine not seeing the sun for about a quarter of the year.

[@suit1337]

this is only possible on nuclear powered submarines - oxygen is created via electrolysis and CO2 is removed via scrubbers, that can be regenerated with electriciy - the only reason why they need to surface one in a while is to get food supply for the crew or crew exchanges - the nuclear fuel lasts for decades. For example Ohio-Class for example is desigend for a refuling cycle of about 20 years.

According to the book, depth charges shaking the boat like this were more than 200 metres away. Any bomb closer than 60-80m would crack the boat, depending on depth and position. That's why the old man wants to go deeper: the water pressure contains the explosions a bit, and charges are less likely to hit from below, where most of the delicate bits are, coolant pipes, propeller shafts and so on. Seeing the charges go off in such proximity to the boat I find confusing: I wonder why: A: the Tommies tickle the boat to death with tiny depth charges instead of using one serious bomb, and B: the Fritzes even bother with evasive action.

[@chasemandes3041]

Destroyers would have trouble storing big bombs, also would weigh down ship making it slower and easier to blow up , also would make resupply difficult. German subs defense at this time against depth charges was to dive and wait for destroyer to run out of depth charges. I think that guy tallying on the chalk board was counting number of death charges. I believe a destroyer would carry 30 depth charges

[@PortCharmers]

@@chasemandes3041 I'm not saying the bombs were puny, only the movie makes them look puny. Destroyers already had to go full steam ahead while bombing not to blow themselves up.

If they had them shown at greater distance, they would have had to show the boat from greater distance. Aside from practical considerations with the models and tanks used, it would have made the boat nigh invisible in the murky water.

[@givenfirstnamefamilyfirstn3935]

The deadly explosions were very close. The Royal Air Force greatly increased their kills when they reduced the depth charge detonation depth to a quarter of what it had been. They exploded nearer to just submerged U-boats. The surviving crews thought that the air dropped depth charges had become much more powerful.

[@gmccord1970]

You're joking right? A depth charge can crush a hull of a submarine like a tin can. It's not the explosion of the charge itself. It is the shock wave of the blast. The explosion displaces huge amounts of water that sends the water expanding in all directions. The displaced water quickly fills in the air gap from the explosion causing a wave of water to come back. This forces the hull of a submarine to bend and twist very rapidly.

Those boats almost won the war. Intense pressure, all sides.

I would have given anything to be the punk in the submarine, with all those hot sweating Germans.

I always thing about this scene whenever I try to get my kids to bed at night. It's like a bunch of dad's who have let their wives go away for the weekend and are getting to grips with child minding. The look of exhaustion at the end is something I can relate to.

[@alex0711a]

Simon Minaee you are full of shit, comparing you bringing kids to bad with men fighting a war, fearing for their lives. Fuck you hipster.

I remember seeing a video on modern day repairs on ships leaking water inside. One of the repair chiefs mentioned that they would pass a stick infront of them when detected pressure leaks. The leaks were so dangerous that they were strong enough to rip human skin and flesh apart instantly if touched. Isn't it still dangerous to be infront of water shooting out like that in this scene? Or were pressure differences in piping different back then?

[@edwinvandijk6868]

The story with the sticks is with steam boiler leaks and high pressure steam

@@edwinvandijk6868 Thanks for replying man. Always nice to clear things up when trying to get real info from a story.
