He makes fun of photographers but that was high tech back then. The photographer had to snap as many pictures as possible before the sub sank, the others were blown up etc. it was to gather as much info as possibly possible.

[@Violaman0910]

Not only is the sub on display at the museum of science and industry, for a small fee you can take a guided tour of the interior of the sub. It’s a great exhibit that also shows the interior of a torpedo and many artifacts that were discovered on board. I have a membership to the museum. There’s a lot more at MSI but that is one of the better exhibits there.

I remember it being a fun tour! I have a highly detailed memory of my dad having a panic attack inside that sub, because he's claustrophobic. Because I was 7 and small, I couldn't figure out what the big deal was. There was plenty of room!

[@lindadianesmith6013]

I went through the submarine in Chicago. It was an exciting childhood memory

War bonds (sometimes referred to as victory bonds, particularly in propaganda) are debt securities issued by a government to finance military operations and other expenditure in times of war without raising taxes to an unpopular level. They are also a means to control inflation by removing money from circulation in a stimulated wartime economy.[1] War bonds are either retail bonds marketed directly to the public or wholesale bonds traded on a stock market. Exhortations to buy war bonds have often been accompanied by appeals to patriotism and conscience. Retail war bonds, like other retail bonds, tend to have a yield which is below that offered by the market and are often made available in a wide range of denominations to make them affordable for all citizens.

Thank you for explaination

[@PromLesbian]

@@Latvianreacts no problem.

[@Pmjdp2001]

And let’s also not forget that the payout for the War Bonds was 40 years. The war bonds reached maturity at 40 years

[@aaronmadden7583]

I love how so many people hurry to say oh this person did it first...oh wait we finished it instead of starting it. Thats the glory of these stories.

[@iKvetch558]

This is a great story told by Fat Electrician...always happy to see you react to his stuff. Quick thing...the main reason to bring a photographer along to the sub was mostly for the intelligence that would be in the pictures. If they failed to save the sub from sinking, the pictures of the inside of the U-Boat might just be the most important things they could have. The first people to crack the Enigma code were the Polish, I believe...and when Poland fell their information on how to break it made its way to France and also to Britain...the Poles really are one of the greatest heroes of the 2nd World War, as a nation. The film you are talking about is not really historically accurate, and what was going on with Alan Turing was not as it was shown as being in the film. What Turing really did was to be a big part of the team that created an electromechanical calculating machine that made it much faster for the Allies to break the Enigma code every day, since the Germans changed the code slightly every single day. Also, the Americans had very very little to do with cracking enigma, and I believe the capture of the sub that Fat Electrician is talking about was the biggest thing the USA did to help with Enigma....but keep in mind that this capture of the U-505 took place in mid-1944. War bonds were a way for the American people to invest their own money to help win the war. They could buy the bonds like they were savings amounts which could be cashed in for a higher value some number of years after the war...so for instance, a person could buy a war bond for $18.75 and get back $25 when the bond matured after the war. Over the course of the war, about 85 million Americans spent about $185 billion on war bonds. Great stuff...thanks for posting this.

Fat Electrician is the goat when it comes to storytelling and my god was this a perfect one for his wheelhouse lol. Also a great point on the photographer, but it's still a great joke xD Polish are absolutely indisputably the goats of ww2, undeniable badasses, not by choice obviously, but holy shit. Just reminded me if I head over to Europe I definitely need to visit there. As someone who has worked in banking -.- fuck bonds lol (they weren't common at my branch, and I became the bond guy because I had the misfortune of always getting the -assholes- Customers that brought like 20 of them in... 10 minutes to close xD wanting cash... (balancing drawers is a bitch we try to do ahead of time)

[@benjamies4136]

By far the most concise and appropriate response for a youtube comment. He is a fantastic story teller, but just speaks with a very american bias which may be hard to catch.

[@stischer47]

No, the Polish got the first Enigma machine and cracked the original code. The British created the computer to help crack subsequent codes, which the Germans changed regularly.

[@alecdusseau6218]

There were multiple enigma codes every time one was exposed a new one was created so yes, you are correct. The polls did crack the first enigma code. but the new set of enigma codes figured out when the sub was captured people cracked the enigma codes

[@user-tp6vt6ib4y]

The task force commander got into trouble for capturing the sub

[@jimreilly917]

Until the Navy realized he captured an Enigma machine.

[@Reblwitoutacause]

"America! F*** yeah!" Ah! I see you are a man of culture!

[@gkiferonhs]

War Bonds were a municipal bond like most others offered by governments and institutions. It was an interest-bearing way of investing in the war. It helped fund the war, was voluntary, made people feel they were supporting the troops, and it wasn't a tax. Famous soldiers, sailors and airmen would be hauled around the country on Bond Tours where there'd be singers, dancers and other performers as well as military medal winner and prominent politicians.

[@lonewolf49707]

Movie he mentioned is called U-571. Great movie. War bonds were certificates issued by the government you give them like 100 dollars they will give you back like 140 dollars in 10 years for example. You could cash them in at the bank.

[@Latvianreacts]

Thanksss for explanation

[@pamforrester844]

I do love the fat electrician, always up for his stories! More please. Thank you for the video and commentary

[@jasonnelms4556]

You should definitely do more Fat Electrician. He's always awesome, funny and learn something cool.

[@archersfriend5900]

I have toured that submarine!

[@andi5262]

You should watch his videos all the way to the end. Sometimes he has added stuff in. Also, his sponsor ads are good.

[@Antares_451]

This new wave of content reaction reviews is a bit different but definitely part of our new globally connected world.. Maybe a RR to the construction of a mega project (Golden Gate Bridge, Hover Dam or the Panama canal) P.S. I can hear the volume on this video perfectly well and i totally don't mind you reacting during the video.. You do a great Job..

[@seabas12]

Fun fact in WW2 amarica lost a whole squadron of aircraft during a training mission and all 20 aircraft from the training mission went missing we did find a piece of one of the aircraft but we didn't find the full aircraft and the rest is missing and the us sent 2 rescue aircrafts and none came back and the training mission was over the brumuda triangle then there was a ship that had billions of dollars of steel supplies to produce steel and it disappeared with no SOS or message for help or any weard message it was like it disappeared and the ships name is USS Cyclops and had over 100 plus soldiers and those men are missing to

[@greggwilliamson]

War bonds. You "lend" the government, say $20, and in 5, 7, or 10 yrs the gov pays you back $25, $30, or $40. You "buy" a $40 bond that "matures" in 10 yrs and only pay $20. He has a bunch of older shorts about the different military jobs but there is one non military video that kinda highlight the "American Attitude". The name is: "America Blew Up A Whale With 1000lbs. of TNT". Great reaction.

[@alecdusseau6218]

Brother, I’m an American and I highly recommend you don’t go to Chicago or California but anywhere else you’ll have a good time

[@CocoaBeachLiving]

He said 'boatswain', he should say Bosun, if you want to say it as a Bosun's mate would say it. But he's an electrician...

[@sticest]

As I was watching this video I wondered if you knew what a war bond was. Then you asked. A war bond was basically the American people giving the government extra money for the war. You could buy a war bond from the government and they agreed to pay you back later with interest.

[@Latvianreacts]

Thank you for your explanation

[@brandon221234]

A war bond in the USA is a debt security issued by the government to finance military operations and other wartime expenses. They gained particular prominence during World War I and World War II. The government launched extensive propaganda campaigns to encourage citizens to purchase war bonds, framing it as both a patriotic duty and a smart investment. These bonds were sold at a discount and matured to their face value over time, offering a modest return. Citizens from all walks of life participated, with schools, communities, and businesses often organizing drives to sell them, creating a collective effort to support the troops. Economically, war bonds helped control inflation by reducing the amount of money in circulation, as people were encouraged to invest rather than spend. The legacy of war bonds remains significant, symbolizing national unity and the shared effort during times of conflict. They are remembered as a key part of the American home front experience, embodying the spirit of sacrifice and cooperation.

[@ninjabearpress2574]

I enjoy these videos, but I enjoy reactions even more. If you think this is wild, check out The Fat Electrician's USS O'Bannon video. You'll never look at potatoes the same after that.

[@Latvianreacts]

Haha thanks will check

[@andrewdelaittre1132]

If you're ever in Chicago I highly recommend seeing the u boat at the tech museum.

[@donaldstewart8342]

There is also a coal mine that you can go down into

[@charlesbryson7443]

And now, it’s the ONLY thing worth seeing in Shitcago. You might travel through a veritable war zone just to get to it. In my opinion

[@donaldstewart8342]

Not a big fan of Chicago,but most of it safe,I go there quite often.I just don't like big cities

[@jenn8557]

Hey, have you heard of OLAS? Could you react to their music video "Nomaksat" and maybe post an English translation, or pause the video while reacting to explain what the lyrics mean?
