Greetings from Finland. Nice piece of history. Welcome to Finland. Here is so much that we havent found from that era

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

Thanks for watching!

[@raulduke6105]

Welcome to nato

[@jamessell4490]

Congratulations EE! Such a privilege to get to see you fulfill a dream. BBG is definitely far braver than I to jump in the water to check things out. Thank you so much for making sure these places are documented so that they aren't lost forever once nature takes them back.

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

Yes EE finally fulfilled one of his dreams and so glad we could do this. Great explore and we thank you for being here with us.

[@Just-me-Laura]

It was great seeing BBG join you again. She is a brave young woman diving in the water amongst the wreckage. To think there were 11 German Destroyers there, and only 1 survived because of the Captain's decision. Many lives lost needlessly or changed forever. Congrats, EE, on accomplishing another dream. Also, thanks for telling your Dad about your find so we could experience your dream. Thanks for taking us inside HH , at your own risk. I'm looking forward to P2. What else did you find? Stay safe and keep smiling. You all deserve a big ❤.

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

Yes Laura , what a incredible place to explore and learn from. Very glad we could do that and we thank YOU for making that happen. Thanks and be safe out there :)

[@RaoulThomas007]

Your daughter deserves a Courage Award 🎖️ for diving on a WW II wreck! Very impressive! So did the Captain order most of the sailors onto the top deck, prior to impact! I wonder what their speed was, just prior to impact?

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

BBG is really a tough girl and does so much interesting stuff. Captain ordered them all on deck and then off the ship to go and figh more on land. Thanks.

[@shakibahsan6384]

in late 70s my cousin who was in Sandhurst academy as a naval trainee send us battle ship models which with the help of my late father we glued together. for a long time we had the models of Battleship Tirpitz and aircraft carrier Nimitz displayed in a showcase at home. this brought back memories from Bangladesh.

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

Thanks for sharing and for being here with us :)

[@three-phase562]

Incredible footage of the inside of the ship, you certainly go the extra mile to create this content. Kudos to the whole HH Team for getting to this location. Hope you all stay safe out there.

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

Yes i really had to man up to go in there but loved it , just loved it. Great explore and thanks my friend for your great support.

[@morganbaskett9513]

Love your channel and your adventures with your son. Does bunker buster girl have her own youtube channel?

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

Appreciate you watching and greetings from us. BBG does do her own stuff , in a way :) Thanks.

[@tommyking2344]

Such an amazing adventure. Definitely one of my favorites of all time. So great to see EE make his dream come true. Loved seeing BBG there and doing some free diving. Thank you for sharing this experience. Truly made my day my friends. Stay safe

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

Glad you enjoyed it and EE so is blessed to be able to do this and thank you for being here :)

[@donaldmesserschmidt3890]

HH, you keep outdoing yourself! A German destroyer that ran aground - WOW! And you worked your way inside, crazy! So very interesting to see such a wreck. BBG was very brave to swim from the ship and explore further down. EE was so knowledgeable about the ship and its many facts/details! You are very blessed to have such a wonderful family! Another great video and such interesting WWII history! Thanks for taking us along with you! Looking forward to the next chapter! Stay safe and stay well!!

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

Yes Donald , what a fantastic place to visit and we thank YOU for letting that happen. EE and BBG and myself as well did get some dream come true on this journey and we than kYOU for that. Greetings and be safe out there :)

[@HunterAtheist]

That was very interesting to see inside the wreckage. It was very dangerous to do, but you immortalized it for all of us to see before it is inevitably returned back to mother nature through the process of oxidation. Thank you for making this documentary to preserve the history.

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

We appreciate you watching and for being here with us :)

[@Bill53AD]

Well done HH. Great video of the wreck, a lot left but cold water helps with that. EE nice to see one small dream completed early in life. Great to see BBG back in the videos, even if you are not walking the top safety rail of a gun pit. How was the water? Does it stay clear for a good depth? HH, do we know when she capsized, and was it from naval fire or just weight on the rocks. Looked like you were, at the end, in the port side anchor chain locker. Can't wait for episode 2 and the ROV to see what is left. Great job all, stay safe and well. Replacement gripper ships in a couple of days.

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

Yes thanks to incredible people like yourself EE did get to see and touch that dream and so glad for that. BBG is a beast , so tough and smart out there :) Ship was hit and then captain ran it ashore to save the crew. Dive was great and your gripper found lots of cool things and you will see that soon. Thanks and greetings from us.

[@beachcomberbloke462]

Wow!! Once again you surpass yourselves not only do you go above the call of duty but also below ,as HH did in exploring this iconic wreck. Hats off to BBG for that free dive and brilliant that EE achieved his ambition of touching a destroyer. What a compassionate Captain to put the lives of his men above the glory and possible death of fighting for the Reich.👍

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

Yes what a great explore and very glad we could share this with you.Thanks and more to come :)

[@earlshaner4441]

Good afternoon from Syracuse NY USA brother and everyone else thank you for sharing your adventures in history videos

Good morning Earl and greetings from us. Take care and keep smiling :)

[@earlshaner4441]

Hi my friends in Germany

[@tedkreibich8584]

Another very different adventure, interesting and educational. I've been watching your adventures for so many years that I remember 2 young children tagging along with Dad on adventures. Now I see a grown BBG and EE is following closely behind. Certainly BBG hasn't lost any of her desires to go boldly forward and explore it seems that EE is also picking up that trait. You've taught and supported these young folk well HH and I know you're proud of them. I suspect you passed on that adventurer bug to both of them. To all 3 of you please take care of one another, be safe, stay well be careful.

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

Yes i am so blessed to have these two explorers by my side. Just honored i am. We thank you Ted for being with us for such a long time. Greatly appreciated that is.

[@denniseldridge2936]

Holy cow! You have all officially been awarded the Indiana Jones prize haha. Seriously this is absolutely stunning! I'd never heard of this particular engagement of the war, and I'm stunned that the wreckage is still there, and in good enough condition that you can make out the parts. Thank you for being so adventurous that you crawled into the hull of the ship so we can see what's left. Like Eagle Eyes, I'd also consider it a life-long dream to actually touch history like that. I did want to also give massive regards to EE for being the ultimate trooper again, and for having the observation skills to find the location in the first place. Awesome stuff!

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

Yes it was a blast from the past Dennis and so much loved that. EE is a true explorer no doubt and we are proud to be able to share this with you. Thanks and be safe out there :)

[@waynek921]

Wow thank you eagle eyes and dad your channel is always so interesting and your channel is my favorite.

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

We thank YOU for that my friend :)

[@cynthiaswearingen1037]

I think this is my very favorite explore, HH! To help our children fulfill their dreams is the goal of every parent, and you excel at it!!!❤

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

You know Cynthia , it is thank to incredible people like yourself that we can do this so we thank you for your great support. Be safe and keep smiling :)

[@eBuma]

I would like to support your future endeavors! I'm not one for gloating, but I'd be willing to contribute handsomely and without recognition. I don't know how to contact you directly, so if you could provide details, that would be very much appreciated. Thank you for all the handwork to provide us with this educational content.

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

Thank you for taking time to be here and watch. If you look in the video description you will find links to our mail and other links to our Paypal and Patreon. More to come and a greetings from us.

[@dass1333]

Flipped view upside down to watch from inside. The shape and function was clear. The great camera work was steady. Very well done HH BBG And EE.

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

Awesome, thank you!

[@stephaniepettys4222]

What a sight! The bottom of a ship that turned turtle on purpose! And the inside of that ship, WOW! Great to see your dreams come true but with a deeper realization of what actually happened. Paying attention to your fears is wisdom, HH. Fabulous trip! Great fishing BBG! Great experience for you, EE!

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

Yes , that is a awesome location and EE and BBG AND myself were so happy to be able to do that. WE thank you for being part of our team Stephanie :)

[@stephengostelow7925]

Oh wow. Special and amazing. For you and E E and B B G a dream come true. Thanks for sharing with us !

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

Yes EE and BBG ( and myself ) was incredible happy to be able to visit such a interesting place Thanks my friend and more to come soon :)

[@doctordweeb8752]

It was a great site and how terrific all three of you could see something together that you've all wanted to see! Must say it was quite dangerous to climb inside but what awesome views of the inside of the ship. Part 2 with the ROV should be fantastic!

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

Yes was a bit scary to go inside there but i felt i just had to do it for all of you guys out there and i loved to find and share that. Part 2 coming soon and thank YOU so very much for your great support :)

[@hansvonmannschaft9062]

Wow that was amazing. Of course we can't tell, due to how camera lenses capture images, how cramped the place really was, but it definitely looked tight and between sharp surfaces and protruding pieces everywhere. I feel for poor Hans, Friedrich and Wilhelm, hope they made it out alright haha! It was the captain's decision after all, I hope nobody needed to be down there at the moment! And to think that destroyers were among the smallest vessels, yet ,,small" is actually... 120 meters! Huge! Oh and your daughter so brave in going down there, must've been awesome, all the wildlife in the Fjord, never imagined it'd be warm enough up north there to the point of being able to swim. Awesome video, thank you so much, can't wait to see the next part!

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

Thanks for great comment and for being here with us :)

[@HaGirl10]

Was wonderful seeing BBG & EE in front of you off for another adventure. You must be so very proud of them. That was a pretty little stream. I bet it felt refreshing, splashing some water on your face HH. The banked German Kriegsmarine Destroyer was a sight to behold. I won't pretend to know what the German soldiers went through. So many lost lives. 😢 I can understand this also being on your wish list HH, having been an ex sub sonar operator. Your childhood must have been so exciting and educational, traveling to so many countries on a boat. To think that, that Destroyer was 120 M long and went 36 knots per kilometre- wow. EE that must have been a thrill for you to embark on the ship. A dream come true. Thank you for taking us inside HH as it was a very dangerous undertaking. BBG was extremely courageous for diving in around the wreckage. Bravery runs in the family. That was beyond amazing. Thank you HH, BBG, and EE. Definitely looking forward to seeing more. I give you 3 ❤❤❤.

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

Yes this location was such a special experience and so glad that EE had his dream come true. Thank YOU for making that come true. Thanks

[@longmoormilitary-railway7620]

Absolutely brilliant! That is right up there with finding the rocket motors whilst magnet fishing, a true classic to remember for a long time. Great thanks to you, HH, EE and BBG for a fascinating adventure and greeting from the UK. I never thought you could actually get inside a WW2 battleship and there you go - stunning!

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

We do work hard to bring you very special material to enjoy and very glad we can. Thanks for your great support.

[@BattleshipOrion]

I mean...you could always come to the states...see 'em afloat, we got New Jersey (second most decorated warship in the US Navy only bested by the Gray Ghost herself, Enterprise (CV-6), Alabama, Laffey, and many more warships (to many to count) @WW2HistoryHunter, if y'all could afford to, coming stateside to see some of the stuff we got as war-prizes would be cool to see as an adventure. As long as you got a license, and a month to spare, 'cuz lemme tell ya, there aint no counting on buses, trains, taxi's the like outside of the big cities. Sherman's are all over the place, various classes of battleship still afloat (these are the Iowa's, half the South Dakota's, North Carolina, and Texas respectively), and I'm not sure on what it is, but we do have a railway gun that was either captured, or taken as a war prize. Also various Tigers, Panthers, and U-505...seriously worth every visit, and look around.

[@jackmacjr]

I have watched your channel for quite some time and I applaud you , your son and daughter for your exploring actions and special attention to detail . They have picked up your love of history . There is a type 21submarine in Germany as a museum ship that was commissioned into service right at the end of the war and was scuttled at the end of the war instead of turning it over to the Allies . The U-boat number was the U-2540. Please tell your daughter to be very careful she should try SCUBA DIVING at the site but watch out for those BITTING BIG FISH . They tend to scare the heck out of people !...!...!

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

We thank you for the kind words and for great feedback. Appreciated and we send a greeting from us.

[@suepalin9202]

How lovely to see one of EE's dreams come true! This is a great video and you were certainly brave to go inside that rotting hull and to get that excellent footage. It was a plucky decision of the Captain to ram the destroyer and I wonder what happened to him and his crew. My first thought when I saw the fjord was the wreck, or what's left, of the Tirpitz. Looking forward to the next instalment. Best wishes to all of you!

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

Yes EE was so happy that day. Thanks Sue and we send a greeting your way :)

[@earlshaner4441]

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

Thanks again my friend and we loved to share that location with you :)

[@On-Our-Radar-24News]

You should let your son explore a little. It wasn't that dangerous and he is certainly old enough. How do you think he felt just standing outside while you and your daughter went inside?

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

Well i guess if you knew what we know of what he explores your comment would not be needed at all :) Thanks for watching.

This looks like the fjord where Turpirtz was bombed by the RAF using the MASSIVE blockbuster bomb. Shame you didnt have the Fifish with you as there will be so much on the sea bed! Also you could look inside the ship under water. This vessel was the destroyer Georg Thiele. I am so disappointed I could not give you some extra thanks but I had to move house and did not have anywhere to go for several weeks had to live in my van. So I did not become historical 🙁

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

[@genes.3285]

I know where this is. Hitler was very angry about the incompetence of the Kriegsmarine. The cruiser Blucher was lost also. A fleet should not enter a narrow body of water. That's basic. Climbing down amidst all that jagged and sharp metal gave me the creeps.

Oh my BBG you are an inspiration with all the things you do, free diving, rock climbing every time I find myself saying "oh to be young again". What a find EE to discover this vessel and then be able to actually go and touch it, it warms my heart to see you achieving your dreams and to be able to help make them come true. HH what a trooper YOU ARE after the lung infection to be out there rambling over terrain like that, I for one know I could not do that even without having been ill. It is such a joy to see the three of you other there exploring together, these videos are coming at a time when I very much need a distraction. I have been rather quiet as of late as I help a dear dear friend prepare for a cancer treatment that is her only hope of survival. She watches these with me lately from her bed and it bring such a big smile to her face, that I am having a hard time typing this as I look over at her now sleeping with a big smile from getting to share in seeing EE's dream come true. Stay safe and we both look forward to seeing part 2. Bless you all and thank you for bring us along.

[@pyroman6000]

Do you guys have any WWII museum ships you can visit? Fascinating to look around in, and really cool to stand on! Destroyers are especially interesting to me, so much stuff crammed onto such a small ship- and 300+ people lived and worked there. I'm not far from the USS The Sullivans. Those Fletcher class destroyers were armed to the teeth- literally bristling with weaponry. Destroyer is a good name for them, lol. Sullivans is in a 1950's configuration. Both center mounted quintuple torpedo tubes removed (and replaced by 2 triple anti--submarine launchers one deck lower, one on each side at the waist.); Mount 53 removed; aft twin Bofors mount replaced with a twin 3"/50 mount. etc. She originally had 3 of those 3" mounts, but the 2 forward ones were swapped out for twin Bofors mounts for the museum. (so people could see both) Hedgehog mounts up front, depth charge racks at the fantail, and K-gun depth charge launchers along both rails. Plus a bunch of Oerlikon 20mm mounts. Your destroyer seems to have comparable firepower. (WWII version, anyway) A LOT of "Reach out and TOUCH Someone" on a small, fast ship. For enlisted accomodations, you got to share a compartment not much bigger than a living room with 29 or so of your best friends! Bunks were stacked 4 high!! I'd hate to be the bottom guy, when those in the upper bunks got seasick... And I'm sure more than a few got stomped on when general quarters sounded, lol. There were various ship's systems crammed in that space, too. It really struck me- there's NO place that's not stuffed with important stuff, and thus no place you could safely take a hit and not lose something important. But, take hits they did- and kept on fighting. Also, those 5" turrets you see in the pictures? Splinter protection only. Just thin steel sheeting- it'll keep the weather off , but not much else. I was NOT expecting the walls to be so thin. Gave me a whole new appreciation for those men! The priorities here were firepower, speed and endurance. The compromise was protection.

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

We can probably visit some yes. Thanks for watching.

[@BobKrause-ek9ti]

Another fantastic Is location. How exciting it must have been to actually touch that destroyer.. I bet the water was cold for BBG. Thank you for bringing us all to that location.

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

IT was really a great experience and so glad EE could get one of his dreams fulfilled. Thanks my friend and a greeting from us.

Well we will actually top that my friend but later. Thanks.

[@daveh5605]

Very cool ! EE has found a winner for sure. I still contend he will find a tank. Great job guys

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

To be honest i think EE will outdo me and BBG with ease when he gets older. Thanks Dave :)

Just so you know for future use, RUNNING WATER IS FRESH WATER! I learned that from Bear Grills(hopefully I didn’t butcher his name by misspelling it)

Thank you all, HH, EE and BBG, for trekking out to this amazing wreck. And huge thanks HH, for showing us the inside of the George Thiele. That was definitely a once in a lifetime viewing, that very, very, few of us will ever see. It is hard to imagine that this, twisted, upside down wreck, slowly rusting away into the fjord, was once a living, thriving, ship, but seeing inside, and the small vestiges of her past life, the pipes, the wiring, helped to give a small glimpse of that almost forgotten life. So cool that you, EE, and BBG, could realise the dream of actually touching a real Kriegsmarine ship. Such an amazing moment for all of you. And for us. So proud to support the best team, and the best channel. Looking forward to the underwater explore of this fascinating wreck! Cheers to you all! Stay Safe!

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

Great place to be and loved to share that with you. Take care and greetings from us.

[@Ro6entX]

Pretty crazy thought that destroyers were duking it out in a relatively small area; the noise itself must have been deafening.

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

Must have quite a sight yes. Thanks for watching.

One of my late uncles served onboard HMS Belfast through out the war as a Stoker, I've had the pleasure to go onboard her, but as yet not down to his place of work, what an amazing thing for you all to be able to do, in climbing aboard this vessel

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

Thanks for sharing and for watching.

[@Disneymagic24]

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

Pretty dangerous crawling around in there. Well done.

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

Was a bit scary yes and thanks for being here :)

[@SnowyAspenHills]

Was the destroyer so badly damaged that the captain decided to land the ship?

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

He made sure that his crew could fight on but on land and yes vessel was damaged. Thanks for watching.
