  • Submarines had a great influence in military history and are technical masterpieces.
    When submarines were first used more than 100 years ago, hardly anyone believed in their usefulness. Many admirals were convinced that the simple "submersibles" could not stand up to the powerful battleships. This changed in the First World War. For the first time, submarines operated militarily in larger numbers. The reconnaissance boats quickly become hunters that sink enemy ships. In British and Allied propaganda, the German submarine became synonymous with treachery, cruelty and inhumanity in naval warfare.
    The German submariners were hailed as heroes at home. The image of the U-boat commander as a silent hunter did the rounds. This heroic glorification has little to do with the reality and the danger the crews find themselves in on every mission.
    Submarines originated from a completely non-military idea, namely to be able to look at the world under water. In its history, the submarine was and is both a deadly steel monster and a vital shelter.
    As impressive as its construction is, as terrifying is its destructive power. Hardly any other weapon triggers as many emotions as the submarine. It strikes from ambush and can tear the whole world into the abyss with nuclear missiles.
    Episode 1 documents the beginnings of submarine development at the end of the 19th century up to the outbreak of the Second World War. Submariners, historians and military experts put the events into context.

    A lot of the u boat crews where just lads never seen experienced life ended up becoming a part of their subs permanently at the bottom of the ocean.Likewise how many poor souls where asleep in their bunks in the middle of a cold dark night hit by a torpedo never stood a chance.War is brutal a waste of time and life.Good documentary they should be remembered from all sides men who did what they believed was their duty.

      Not a waste of time if you have a black enough enemy- such as the Stalinist Ho Chi Minh of North Vietnam. He ran murderous slave labor camps and opposed freedom of speech, press, religion, and travel plus he created The Boat People who were ethnic Chinese hated by Ho and who were killed, robbed and raped by Viet pirates. Ho knew this and did nothing. Fighting Ho was worth it but the American liberal left sided with Stalinist Ho, just as the liberal reporter Edgar Snow loved and sided with Stalin and Mao (the latter of which killed upwards of 55 million Chinese!) Yeah, wars ARE worth it-

      I've always thought it hypocritical of the allied powers of WW1 that as they enforced a blockade against Germany they cried with outrage against Germany for doing the same.
      They also starved German civilians to death by maintaining the blockade after the armistice, so American bankers could get their war loan interest paid.

    Please check out the *Battle Of May Island* and the tragedy of the K class submarine in general. The worst of the Admiralty’s arrogance and most costly mistakes and cover-ups in naval history. Almost hundreds dead without a single shot fired, due to arrogance and awful leadership at the top.
    Also don’t forget Holland first sold his Sub to an IRA splinter finean faction group in the USA. But they refused to pay him and stole it. He managed to steal it back then sold it to the admiralty out of spite years later.
    And a submersible was used in the US civil war, but was so slow and clumsy they sunk themselves as well as the ship because their hand cranked propeller wasn’t fast enough to escape the blast.

This was in the early 90's as they were being phased out. Still lethal even for such an old design.

    I have been a maritime historian for the last 34 years of my life and it wasn't until I started researching the Bismarck that I started learning about naval history and how the U-boats (or unterseeboots) operated. At that time I also had no idea that the U-boats had been so prevalent during WWI as well until I started looking in to who had the capabilities to mass produce actual submarines. Robert Whitehead's torpedo revolutionized the submarine as it's known today.

      I find it endlessly fascinating. Also how simple things could render them useless, like no blow-out leads to some painful seconds, or rather minutes, until crush depth! And also, read the harrowing true story of the Kursk.
      Our Norwegian divers and specialists WERE NOT allowed to help, though there were large signs, as we later know true, that there were survivors on board, while this ship was VERY shallow, aka in a position where you could actually rescue them, as rescue equipment at up to 400 meters, maybe more, is feasible, unlike 4000m, like the sub that suddenly wasn't.
      My biggest thing with the media frenzy was literally that even if they were found alive down there, after so much time it wouldn't be a chance they'd survive all the way to the surface, given nobody could open the thing, as you were built into a "life support" vessel that if anything goes wrong, has no backup.
      The "warning system" of the Hull, was just a "warning, warning, 10 seconds to disintegration". At 1000+ meters that don't mean anything, why even have it?
      It just means they were in panic for the minutes or seconds between the warning, until, sadly, "nothing"

    The director showed a drawing of the Bushnell Turtle but the film states that use of submersibles started in the mid-19th century. But the Turtle was used by the US against the British Navy during the Revolutionary War. Did the British who produced this film overlook the Turtle on purpose?

      A third of its cargo was munitions and other military gear. Also she was set up to drag the US into war. Churchill wrote to the President of Trade one week before the Lusitania was sunk: ""most important to attract neutral shipping to our shores, in the hope especially of embroiling the United States with Germany."
      Also, the wreck has been mined and mostly destroyed by the Royal Navy, so it can't be examined. Bait disguised as war crime.

    Years later a diving expedition found manufactured rounds of ammunition in the holds of the Lusitania. Meaning the United States and England were complicit in violating the neutrality of the United States. The Germans, greatly blamed for their blood thirsty ways, were actually acting properly in that the ship was bringing war goods to Germany's enemy.

    6:49 wrong! The first submersible used wasn't in civil war in the US in 19th century but:" On September 6, 1776, the first functioning submarine, called the Turtle, attacked the HMS Eagle anchored in New York Harbor. Designed by Saybrook native and Yale graduate David Bushnell, the Turtle was a one-man vessel that submerged by admitting water into the hull and surfaced by pumping it out by hand". Poor research.

      Smaller nations with a shorter coast lines should not require as big of a navy as a large nation unless they are planning treachery. A little honest history if there is such a thing now days, will explain why Germany and Japan went to war. It is likely Japan felt more negotiating was futile and wanted the advantage of a surprise attack at pearl Harbor over more negotiating. Germany's World War 1 reparations were so excessive they felt another war was greatly to their advantage. War is most likely the biggest scourge of mankind. Such loss and tragedy and waste.
