Diary of a u-boat navigator: May 4th, 1945 The captain decided to surface the submarine in the middle of the North Atlantik today and ordered RADAR to be activated. I did not go outside this time, it just did not seem right to do so while the war was still on. Still, the fresh air comming from the open conning tower was nice. May 8th, 1945 The war is over.... Dönitz sent us a nice final message to inform us that it was over, however, we will not surface until we are near Kiel in order to not get killed after the war ended. The final patrol will soon be over.... Near Kiel We are surfacing..... the war is over for us now...we have survived.... we have survived.... Turning over the page, Karl found out that it was the last page of his diary. It was quite fitting, a last page for the last moments of the war. Not wanting to leave it empty, he wrote a poem: For 6 years we patroled, For 6 years we sailed the Atlantic, For 6 years we fought, For 6 years the depth was our friend and foe, For 6 years we survived; Now let us spend the next 60 years in peace and on shore. With that, Karl closed his diary and made his way to the conning tower. Once up, he observed the scene for a moment. The conning tower was crowded with officers and watchmen who no longer scanned for danger but enjoyed the view of Kiel and the sea. The decks of the submarine were also crowded with sailors as they also enjoyed the final moments of their last patrol as well as the fresh air. After seeing that, Karl joined the captain at the front of the conning tower and observed Kiel for some time. The captain then spoke: "I would have never thought that i would return to my hometown in such a way. Here i am, a captain of the most advanced submarine in the entire world, something i thought would be the greatest experience at the begining of the war, but now the greatest joy comes just from seeing my hometown once again." To that, Karl smiled and replied: "Well, at least you won't have to go very far to see your family again". To that the captain gave a quick laugh and said:"True, i just hope my family is still whole after this war and that bombs did not find them as their target". After those words, they fell silent for a moment before Karl spoke:" Is it not intresting? After 6 years of surviving depth charges and air attacks that ended so many others, we were lucky enough to come back alive?" To that the captain responded: " It is lucky indeed, but, just like every bullet does not find its target, so too did not every depth charge sink a submarine." "But yet, many more depth charges sunk submarines, many more bullets hit their mark, and so, more people died than survived..." Karl replied, tears starting to form in his eyes. He then finished with a question:" Just how many people did this war claim?" and after saying that, Karl burst into tears. The captain put a hand on his sholder in response and said:"Let us not think of war anymore for now. Let us enjoy the fact that we are alive and focus on bringing our lifes back to normal". After a few moments of crying, Karl was able to control other such negative emotional outbursts from happening and took the advice from the captain and tried to enjoy this big moment. They were soon in the port of Kiel.... As they sailed into the port, the sailors on deck formed up in ranks and stood in atention, forming a scene like the one from the earlier years of the war. They were cheered by German soldiers and civilians who were probably happy for them for just surviving the war. After docking, the sailors steped on land first, followed by the officers and then the captain was the last to step of the u-boat. The sailors and officers formed a line and saluted the captain and he saluted them back. He then spoke to them all: "My fellow sailors and officers, after many long patrols the war is finnaly over for us. Thankfuly, the sea was not our final resting place, and for that we should be eternaly grateful, but now is the time to start a new chapter in our lives. I wish you all a bright future. Crew, dissmissed!" And with that, everyone started to slowly walk away from the docks towards the city. Karl, however, decided to talk to the captain one last time. He asked him:" So, what will you do now?" The captain replied: "I will wait here at the docks, perhaps i will see other submarines dock and i would like to greet them". "I see" Karl replied before adding "Sir, it was an honour to be a navigator under your command" and then offering a handshake. The captain shook his hand and let go after a moment saying: "farewell, Karl". Karl gave him a salute and added: "farewell, captain" and with those words he turned around and walked away. Once at the end of the docks, he turned around to see the captain staring towards the sea with hands behind his back. With a smile, Karl departed his gaze from the captain and continued to walk towards the city hoping that there will be a train departing for Hamburg soon... A few days later... Exiting the train, Karl observed his hometown of Hamburg for the first time in two years. There was rubble on the streets from bombing, allied troops patroling the streets and people walking in mass. However, Karl quickly made his way through the city as for the moment only 2 things were on his mind: his family and his dear Erika. He soon got to his neighborhood and found that the building his family lived in was in relativly good state. Soon he entered it and quickly made his way up the stairs to his floor. Once there, he went towards his flat but once he was in front of the door, he stopped for a moment. He breathed in deeply and then finnaly knocked. A moment of silence followed before the door opened. There, in front of him was his father who recognised him instantly and, after a moment of shock, hugged him dearly. He then shouted: "Eva! Eva, Karl is here! He is back!" Quickly, footsteps could be heard as his mother rushed to see him, and, after seeing him with her own eyes, quickly moved to hug him while laughing hystericaly. "My dear son, how happy I am to see you!" she told him while hugging him tightly. Soon, they entered into the flat and sat down for a moment. Karl then asked: "Where is Otto?" Tothat, his father replied: don't worry he's alive, he is just waiting to be discharged in order to come back". Karl was relived with that answer, but then quickly asked them:" And what about Erika? Is she alright?" His mother answered this time:"We don't know, we lost contact with her and her family for some time now". Karl nodded but was now filled with worry. However, he quickly got an idea. Getting up he said:" Mother, father, i must leave you for now to find Erika." His mother protested this asking him to stay for a while, however, his father calmed her down and she acepted to wait a bit longer. Thanking them, Karl quickly left the flat and went to find Erika... At the docks As he arrived at the docks, Karl started to look for Erika. It did not take him long to spot her standing at the exact place they met. It was without a doubt Erika, Kar could tell from her brunette hair, her tall stature and her coat that she wore almost always. She was staring towards the sea just like the first time he saw her. Seeing this, Karl decided to walk behind her and say the first words he said to her all those years ago: " I guess i am not the only one to enjoy watching the sea". After he spoke those words, Erika slowly turned around and, after seeing Karl once again, her face filled with surprise and joy and she quickly ran towards him and hugged him. Her momentum almost caused Karl to fall, however, he quickly recovered and hugged her back. The embrace filled Karl with so much warmth and joy that for a moment he forgot about all his war experinece and felt fulfiled. "I knew the sea wouldn't take you" she said as her eyes filled with tears. "And i knew that no bomb would claim you" Karl responded as he himself could no longer hold his emotions and began to weap tears of joy. And so there they stood, in an embrace that for them lasted forever, for now they knew that their lifes were fulfiled and their future bright... Epilogue After the war, Karl served in the navy for 2 more years before deciding to join the mearchent fleet where he became a captain of a large tanker. Later he would become a captain of a passanger ship and then an ocean liner. He enjoyed talking to the people he transported and even share some of his wartime stories. He retired on october 15th 1985 at the age of 70. He married Erika on april 7th, 1947 and they had 3 children (2 boys, 1 girl). They lived to see the end of the cold war, the birth of their great grandchildren and the world's entry into the 2nd millenium. Karl would depart this world on the 2nd of august 2005 (aged 90) while his wife would join him on may 5th, 2007 (aged 91). And so ends the story of Karl, however, his diary would remain one of his greatest legacies as it would end up in an archive where historians could study the experiences of a u-boat navigator throughout ww2... (And, wow, that was a marathon, if you read it all, i tip my hat to you dear sir/madame. I enjoyed writing these entries and i hope you enjoyed reading them as well. I guess i will see you all in another series then. Have a fine day you legends :) )

[@sebastiansutanto5835]

The captain of the submarine would live and tell the tales to his children and such, being the last U-boat commander to surrender his vessel, getting an iron cross, and riding one of Germany's last wunderwaffe that never saw action until 1944.

[@untruelie2640]

"Getting an Iron Cross"? From whom?

[@cjmars822]

The Iron Cross is a traditional German medal. Yes, the Reich had their own version of it with a swastika, but the medal was changed post war to include an oak leaf instead and the award for bravery kept on. In 2008 Germany changed the medal again to be more like the original Prussian Cross. It’s still awarded for bravery. Pretty cool stuff

[@untruelie2640]

@@cjmars822 You don't have to lecture me on this topic, I'm German myself. The reason for asking this question is, that after 1945, the medal was not awarded anymore - for obvious reasons. After all, it was Hitler's award for "elite soldiers" and thus highly contaminated, ideologically speaking. Former soldiers were allowed to wear a version without swastikas, but it wasn't reintroduced again as an "active" medal. It is only used as a symbol by the Bundeswehr (like on their planes for example). The medal introduced in 2008 wasn't the Iron Cross at all, it was the "Bundeswehr Cross of Honour for Valour" and is only shaped like the Iron Cross, but evidently it isn't an IRON Cross since it has a golden colour. Introducing this medal was also highly controversial (and still is). The whole point of the iron Cross was, that it was made out of Iron. So, I may ask again: Who could've given this medal to the submarine commander? Germany had already capitulated and Kiel was under British occupation. The crew of the submarine would've been arrested as soon as they appeared in the harbour. And after the war, there was no one to give them a new Iron Cross. There wasn't even a german government until both german states were founded in 1949, and neither of them awarded Iron Crosses, especially not to former Wehrmacht members.

[@adamtruong1759]

I'm kind of glad that no ships were torpedoed (by you) in this patrol. When the end of really any conflict is assured, victory or defeat, it's really not worth killing more people or sinking more ships because it wouldn't change to course of the conflict. Last minute revenge doesn't seem worth it either in my opinion.

[@timonsolus]

The war in Europe ended on 8 May, 1945. But the total defeat of the Third Reich was already inevitable 8 months earlier. By the end of August 1944, only 3 months after D-Day, it was already clear that the German Army would never be able to push the Allied armies back into the sea. Combined with massive defeats on the Eastern Front in summer 1944, that meant Germany was defeated. So the final 8 months of the war in Europe were completely unnecessary and entirely due to Hitler’s fanatical refusal to admit defeat. If only the 20 July Bomb Plot against Hitler had succeeded, many lives would have been saved.

[@adamtruong1759]

​@@timonsolus I think after the Battle of the Bulge it became assured that Germany would be defeated to the Western Allies, but that would still be 5 months of worthless fighting.

[@timonsolus]

@@adamtruong1759 : The Battle of the Bulge was not really a moment of crisis for the Allies, despite what you see in the movies. The German plan for it never had the slightest chance of success. It depended on the Allies not blowing up their supply dumps as they retreated, and handing them over intact to the Germans!

[@cmbbfan78]

@@timonsolus True but the questions remain: what would have been the fate of whole Europe? Even so, that the Communists were halted for many months, the unlucky part of Europe came under brutal dictatorship. Probably in that matter even more countries would have suffered the same. But who knows.

I feel in a u boat film set at the end of the war admiral donitz’s message would be a big emotional moment where the captain reads it aloud to the entire crew with emotional music in the background

[@marinary1326]

It would have been quite interesting if, after the surrender, you could have gone up to one of those destroyers and gotten an escort home. Course, I dunno if the destroyer crew would be inclined to be courteous to a U-boat crew after everything that went down in the Battle of the Atlantic, but it's just a thought that intrigues me. I enjoyed the little historical lesson at the end there! Funny to hear how the Allies tried to use the German technology to innovate on their own diesel subs after the war. Of course with the benefit of hindsight, we know in a few years the nuclear sub would come along and pretty much blow diesel subs out of the water, metaphorically speaking of course :P I know diesel subs remained in use after that, but it's amazing what a jump in sub capability nuclear power was. And I can't help but be a bit biased I suppose, I've been to the Nautilus a couple of times and it's a fascinating piece of history.

[@herrakaarme]

Modern compact non-nuclear subs are just fine, especially for smaller seas and coastal defense. They are just as advanced as nuclear subs. They also do sport a power system independent from external air for staying longer underwater. They are smaller and more silent than nuclear subs, submerged.

That included partially completed hulls in Danzig. The last one was decommissioned in 1957.

On my (thus far) only career, I fired all my torpedoes are any and all targets of opportunity even after the war ended. I think I'm going to start another career again in 1939, though I need to not get cocky. I tried to start one a while ago and found a convoy escorted by only a Flower-class corvette, which seemed largely oblivious to me. That is, until I was going max submerged speed to keep pace with the convoy and engaged time warp to load torpedoes, only to get metaphorically run over by a depth charge run at 25m. Was sunk before I could even move the crew to damage control.

Germany might have surrendered. U-104 a type IXB submarine fought on doggedly till the ammo and the torpedoes ran out. While your war ended with the final message of the admiral I kept on fighting as I had done. Ever since I took that type 1 Baltic duck into Loch Ewe in Scotland and scored myself a 39,000 ton Nelson class BB at the start of the war. The only reason I gave up was I couldn’t rearm and refuel. I was ready to fight on so long as I could get eels to shoot. I ended the war with over 350,000 tons of shipping solo, every decoration you could get, and I only ever lost 3 men under my command. When the adm told me get aggressive, I guess he didn’t realize he set forth one of the greatest U-Boat aces to ever sail

Well I'm gonna miss these videos over the coming months; already can't wait to keep watching them in 10-27 weeks

[@C2K777]

You KNOW you''re supposed to bugger off to Argentina at the end, right?!

[@crowsbridge]

I read that both captains of the deployed XXIs claimed to have been about to make attack runs, but stopped short of firing, since the war had ended. Also, EVNautilus, has a 2014 video where they dive on U2513, it's kind of neat.

[@louisavondart9178]

One claimed that. It's been debunked as the ship he supposedly attacked was hundreds of miles away at the time.

Carter would be the other president that has been on a submarine as he was a submarine commander in his navy days.

[@Wolfpack345]

Theodore Roosevelt went on USS Plunger. President Carter would be the third.

[@theeflyingbanana6365]

Sad to see the series is over :( when is the next war on the sea video I’ve been dying to see what happens next

[@tefras14]

Its been one hell of a ride

[@prytification]

Despite being 16 years old, this is still the best UBoat game out there. A simple 1:1 remake in a modern engine would be something worth every effort.

[@Wolfpack345]

I agree.

[@beardedphobos5211]

That was a great series Wolfpack345

[@HughbertJassGaming]

Great series, have looked forward to each episode :).

Sunk in the year of my birth and in a location I've visited numerous times - Key West, FL

[@mazchen]

I could have watched this SH III series going on forever. Thank you for providing such great content over almost two years, something to look forward to every Friday during the past crazy months.

[@Wolfpack345]

I appreciate it :)

[@lhiannonshee]

That was a great series, Wolf. I really loved the little history piece at the end. Excited for what you bring to us next.

[@ArenBerberian]

Love your little cinematic intros and historic context, adds so much to the game and vids immersion. Keep up the good work.

[@foreverpinkf.7603]

I´m glad that you and your crew made it home without trying stupid things. Thank you for the voyage. Waiting for your next projects.

[@cocindaucocindau354]

If it would be possible, i would like to see something like this but on the Soviet Side in the Black Sea, you know from the Siege of Odessa, Battle of Sevastopol and fall of it, to the defence and Destruction of the Romanian and German Marine Forces and the hunting of Merchants Vessels on the Romanian Waters and Across the Turkish Coast, it would be fun..

[@ret7army]

From the ASW side of things ... the US Navy also had homing torpedoes,. Carried by TBM Avengers, they were so secret that the they were under orders to not use them if any ship could possibly see the attack. An Avenger could carry one homing torpedo and 2 depth charges. Their orders specified that regular depth charges were to be used if another ship could see them. Communications of the attack included one code word for depth charge attacks, and a different one for the torpedo.

[@scottgarvey5779]

Great Series again mate, what's next? I've just started playing SH4, U boat missions and I'm having a blast. I plan to raid Fremantle Harbour because its near where I live lol Anyways thanks for the entertainment, your videos certainly provide that. Looking forward to next one already :)

[@creatorsfreedom6734]

- operation monsun mod - enable's the german front for sh 4

[@External2737]

I just started watching. I am sad this the final episode.

[@concordefan9154]

Silent hunter 3 and SH4 were the best gameplays on this channel 👍👍

[@Finn-tl7nw]

Really good job. As always, it was damn fun to accompany you on your missions. Keep it up.

[@DivePlane13]

Wolfpack I have been subscribed since you had little under 5 thousand subs, and your content keeps getting better and better!! Rest Easy 2513, and thank you for this amazing content!

[@Wolfpack345]

Thanks for being around for the long haul!

[@antebellum45]

Thank you for this great series! Hopefully in the future you'll make another U-boat series like this one! An thank you for all the exciting and entertaining hours you've given us!👍🏻

[@abelw16]

Would u maybe play Cold Waters epic mod again? Maybe typhoon class, that would be a chalenge.

[@Wolfpack345]

I will re visit Cold Waters eventually. War on the Sea kind of took that spot.

[@abelw16]

@@Wolfpack345 Tbh i catch myself refressing your youtube page every evening, to see what is the Japanese Navy up to. I cant wait to see the yamato chase C3 cargo ships

[@JahBronee]

Your historical context during this patrol was awesome. I was riveted to the narration.

[@Wolfpack345]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@Belsen85]

Wolfpack345, If you think about the next series, my suggestion is "Depth charge fodder in iron coffins": start carrier on VIIC in September 1943 (or January 1944).

[@systemshocker7634]

Thanks for yet another well produced and interesting series. GG Wolfpack345!

[@Burscheid0r]

Start playing War on the sea seriously from now on. Got hooked on you playing, binge watched the episodes, felt the need for more, watched all other youtubers playing it, got mad how they approached the game, rewatched your episodes. Play more, release more, please, pretty please.

[@Wolfpack345]

3-4 episodes a week is not serious?

[@BossNKing101]

@@Wolfpack345 Not the guy you replied to, but they might be used to more full time KZbinrs, lol. I don't comment much, but I just wanted to thank you Wolfpack, you (and Tortuga) have gotten me into submarines, naval warfare, and more niche strategy games that I've never been interested in before. I await every release of these SH videos, and can't wait until you start another one! Thanks again!

[@Burscheid0r]

@@Wolfpack345 No, keep it at the pace most convenient to your way of presentation. Your presentation shows understanding of the game mechanics (knowing what you're doing is a quality most youtubers are lacking), great editing (cutting out repetitive or uneventful lengthly parts) and therefore telling a story in episodes that is highly entertaining and educative on the game itself. Really impressive QoC.

[@vincentcastonguay8304]

God I love when you narrated the story of any game and at the end also 😍 please keep on doing it

[@ArtificialSoldier1]

I love your Silent Hunter videos, Wolfpack. Thank you for uploading another :) Hope to see a new SH series soon!

[@James1999B]

Thank you Captain for countless hours of fearless battles and amazing entertainment!

[@blaisphilippe2401]

Me a week ago who find a new interest in subsim : oh these look like fun video to learn how to play this game everybody is talking about on subsim. Me after bing watch these let’s play : Oh good god already finish ??? Your let’s play are incredible sir .

fantastic series man, just found your channel and binge watched it all today :-)

[@MrKurtank]

That was a great series, thank you. And I very much appreciated the historical summary at the end.

[@juliusrehbein9603]

i loved watching this series for years :) i love your work keep it up

[@stephenfarthing3819]

The Destroyer Captain is aware of your orders to cease all operations. Most Royal Navy Destroyers and Frigates have orders not to engage with U Boats heading home to surrender.

[@esbenk.d.jensen9345]

Very entertaining series, thanks a lot.

[@hughbie7]

Awesome game episodes from start to finish...thanks Wolf!!

[@mixererunio1757]

That was better than many of TV series I've seen,

[@Wolfpack345]

Thank you!!

[@geoffreyrichardson8738]

Nice finishing touch

[@engineermole2688]

And so the Gray Wolf, tired and drained from its hunts, returns to its den, it brings no glory, no fresh blood on its hackles, only the tiredness of the run speckling its trail. It comes watched by the other pack's members, the larger pack that it and its kin had once battled and stalked, but the Gray Wolf watched as its pack was picked away from it, few to start with, then more and more as the other pack learned there tricks and tactics, and developed there own. But the Gray wolf, despite its tiredness held its head hight, it was a defeated animal, but still a predator, it knew the respect and hatred it had earned and went back to its den knowing it would never again see the freedom of its territory. All it could do was await its fate in its den. Hats off to the Uboatmen of the Kriegsmarine, they did their duty to there country and that goes for all men that fell in the war

[@ChrisJ4711]

Have really enjoyed your series on SH3 - hope you get around to make more content in this really great game.

[@marcl.1346]

An idea for a new campaign would be to start out in the very first uboots, the smaller Type A's if I remember correctly and to try and start to survive all the way to the end like you almost did the previous time. To put a twist on things maybe go to lesser known theatres of war like the Baltic or something along those lines.

[@tristanbentz224]

It’s ashame your original Uboat never got to see the end of the war but will lie as a manorial for the brave men that served on her

[@Maphisto86]

I love the epilogue to this great series. I salute you Kaleun!

[@rja1702]

Excellent series !! loved it, thank you

[@sfckrbec]

Would like to see a 'Help high ranking Nazi's escape to Argentina and scuttle the boat' mission.

[@juno1915]

1st. Can't wait to see what you put out next with Silent hunter

[@Kevin-ol5gr]

Got home today thinking there's something missing, finally realized oh yeah, the series came to an end. Guess I'll have to start over now.

[@MIKE-se8ye]

Love your Silent Hunter III campaigns! More please?

[@stonehengeman]

Friday night and a new Wolfpack video. ❤️

[@MrSamuel1438]

The writing of these is so damn good

[@wolfcraft484]

And thus the crew of u2513 became west german farmers to spend the rest of their life in peace

Thanks for the series Wolf. o7

[@barrycabbageM34]

Sad to see the series go, but it was a damn good one.

[@KageMinowara]

5:50 Wolfpack: "I'm surprised they don't have their rubbers on." I think they'd wait until they get back to port before putting rubbers on old chap. Not much cause to do so out in the North Sea with no women about.

[@JackJoff]

Hey wolfpack! Awesome video. Would love to see the next SH3 series set in a VII in the Atlantic with how far your channel has come and your editing techniques you now use! :)

[@Wolfpack345]

That is something I want to do again too. It will happen... Eventually.

[@guyrosinbaum7745]

Well done series
