[@christosvoskresye]

@@TheKazadoodle That's not to say there weren't serious, even weird problems with the series. One I have really noticed lately is the strange code of ethics. In one episode, the boys overpowered some German guards -- possibly SS guards, though I do not remember that detail -- but they only tie them up, rather than knifing them. They run a risk to keep these guards alive. Then they wreck the train, with the implication being that everyone on board dies. They do this kind of thing a lot -- never killing people on screen, but happily blowing up trains, factories, whatever, killing both military and civilians, men and women. It might make sense for them to be squeamish, as good guys; it might be more realistic to see them as ruthless, out of practical necessity. Either way, they should be more CONSISTENT.

A week later, she torpedoed the British freighter Gravelines northwest of the Bloody Foreland (western Ireland), which broke in two and was declared a total loss; the forward part of the ship was towed to the Clyde and scrapped. On 2 June U-147 encountered convoy OB 239 near the African coast and attacked alone (a decision which historian Clay Blair described as "bold"). She damaged one ship, (Mokambo), before being sunk with all hands by a British destroyer, HMS Wanderer, HMS Periwinkle.

The Warspite was the ship that did huge amounts of damage even though it was tiny and when they tried to scarp it the ship escaped.

Mark Wilko The battleship USS Nevada has a similar story. It was the target ship for the atomic bomb test at Bikini Atoll and took a direct hit, but didn’t sink. It was towed to Hawaii to become a radioactive research lab, but broke loose in a storm. She was declared a menace to navigation and hit by two 16 inch shells, 2 torpedoes, and an early guided missile but still didn’t sink. One more 16 inch shell finally put her on the bottom. However..after the ship was sunk, an accounting review found that due to a shortage of copper in the early part of the war, the circuit boards for her main guns, damaged at Pearl Harbor, had been replaced with the next best available conductor: solid 24 karat gold. She took more than $2 million of 1947 value gold to the bottom with her.

May dad was a POW in Germany we used to watch Hogan’s Hero’s, I was young asked him once if the Germans in his camp that funny. He looked at me and said shit no. He told me of all that happened while in prison, I think he was just happy to have made it home.

This was how I had imagined what living in a WWII sub was like until I saw ‘ Das Boot ‘

[@andrewdrabble8939]

Das Boot is a brilliant film

[@lindycorgey2743]

Hollywood always shows WW2 subs being roomy. They were not. Especially German Subs.

I think I can honestly say I never expected to see Werner Klemperer again!

[@jasonrodgers9063]

Werner Klemperer was highly underrated.

[@susanfaulkner2304]

Golly. My father served on the carrier Block Island in WWII. It was sunk by a Uboat. In the 1960's, my father had a coworker who had been in a concentration camp. One time we were invited to his home for dinner. Met his wife, who was also in the same camp as her husband. They both had numbers on their arms. They were German Jews.

German u-boat 147. Now that John McCain is dead. May the ghosts of the U.S.S. FORRESTAL finally rest in peace. CVA-59.

You're confusing reality with fiction, I'd say

He's just not the same without his monocle.

[@jaguariiii1880]

🧐Hooogaan! (shakes fist)

[@hivicar]

Klink's the badass on this U-boat!

[@tommyjohnson4162]

I really enjoy these old movies over most of the garbage of today

[@runedharma22]

My favorite show as a kid.

Something similar happened in the US Navy, I think on the Kitty Hawk. She was going through refit sometime back in the 70s when someone who was looking at the plans realized that there should have been a workspace on the other side of the bulkhead. So they cut through the bulkhead to find a completely equipped machine shop...along with the skeletal remains of two yard workers. Apparently, the two yard workers had been entombed during a prior refit. One would have thought that the supervisor would have noticed a couple of his workers suddenly going missing....

[@jamesalexander3530]

That is incredible! I served in the Navy and suppose should have reported the strange voices coming from the head, crying, "Booo, ass wipes, where's the ass wipes .... booohoo". Very scary stuff.

[@geniegreentrees]

Maybe somebody entombed them in there on purpose! 😮

[@blackiechong4344]

I was on that ship and that was a wives' tale with no merit. Its was just a haloween fabrication started by the captain as a joke to the crew

[@inkyguy]

CaesarInVa, the story sounds like a typical urban legend.

[@pickeljarsforhillary102]

I have heard the same story with the ships name changed over and over again.

[@death2pc]

One Step Beyond was such a great series................................

[@bradleestone5344]

This is like the best one ever and not just because Colonel Klink is in it 😏

[@kaptainkaos1202]

At 11:46 there’s a continuity error. While laying in his rack his suspenders are on correctly. He goes thru the door and they’re down. I see these things like a solar flare going off.

[@domainofthesun4400]

First time I've seen this series - and this is superb TV entertainment. (I'm enjoying it as a good ghost story, not as a purported account of real events...)

[@RobertDotzler-e2h]

That's pretty much what this series was. Killer ghost stories. A weekly War of the Worlds. Couldn't have asked for better television

[@scottcoleman3106]

I was watching twilight zone and this show popped up I’ve never heard of this show before but I must say I like it a lot can’t wait to watch more

[@jamesmcgrath1952]

I'm an old fart but when I saw this as a kid I didn't sleep for a few nights. Now while I'm a skeptic on these things I've always found this episode haunting.

[@romansroad2007]

Thanks for the update on your blogs. Very nice old shows of the Hongans heroes. Col Clinck Sorry for the mess spelling.

[@railfansteam7716]

If it is possible that this story is even partially true in any way, they used the wrong U-Boat. Look it up, this never happened to U147 as it was sunk June 2, 1941.

[@bunga371]

No dip.. it's a tv show

[@neilmanhard1341]

This is one of my favorite episodes. And one of my favorite TV show episodes. There is one historical oddity though - Hitler was a non-smoker and didn't allow smoking in his presence. It would be out of character of him to gift an inscribed cigarette case.

[@azbag1906]

Klink finally got sent to the front

[@macdaniel6029]

From the Luftwaffe to the Kriegsmarine...
