The soundtrack to Das Boot, takes me back to the 80's and to still one of the best war films/submarine dramas/just best bloody films ever!! Much love from the UK
I appreciate your appreciation for Das Boot ❤ This movie realy is a masterpiece. Never saw a war film so intense, real and depressing, while still delivering some comic relief (don’t know whether the comical elements translate to not-germans). Let alone the soundtrack… You should look for the Mini Series, which was made for TV. The movie is a cut down version for cinema. The Mini Series is muuuch longer and better (although sometimes a bit slow). As a German who visited all continets beside Antarctica, i have to admit to never have been to Britain. Hope to settle that in the time to come. Cheers 🍻
It's good to see Germany's best men and women continuing the honorable vocation of submarine service. It is the tireless commitment of motivated, proficient sailors like these, which gives the free world another day. It's a shame though, that this sub's designer could not include just 1 more sailor for the ship's mess - the length of the chef's work day seems equal to that of ship's captain.
I served in the U.S Air Force, but much of my family and friends have served on U.S. submarines. I have the highest respect for these men and women who go to sea on submarines and say what you will about WWII, Germany had some of the best submarines and crews. They trained hard, fought hard, and made their mark. I don't think that modern-day German submariners are any different. Well trained, dedicated and willing to go the distance. Calm seas to the crew of U-32.

At 15:27. "Preparations are complete. The big day has arrived. We are heading for England on the manoeuvre we have been training for"..... since 1939. LOL
I've seen this documentary in its original German version - it was more somber and rather somewhat 'cool' in its overall outlook. The upbeat music and the American-english of this narration makes this really fun to watch again...
Excellent documentary, interesting to learn that Germany has such modern subs, glad they are our allies in NATO! Cheers from Canada, be well everyone!!
I agree! Way too much hate and name calling in the comments! We are all allies and we should all be glad about that! I for one respect the hell out of Germany and how they’ve rebuilt, I’d be proud to have them on my side! 🇺🇸🇩🇪

I have a family member who is involved in the construction of these beautiful submarines when they are built...I am so proud of this person's contribution to the safety of Germany and the world..
I love that beer is being stored in the torpedo tubes. Germans are the best! I've been watching so many DW and Welt documentaries that I've been inspired to double down on remastering the German language to a B2 CEFR level that I used to be proficient at during my college studies and travels to Germany.
@@wudruffwildcard252 i am german and for me its like when u hear that for example the italians only eat pizza or the americans always carry weapons ect....
The tradition of naval captains wearing those white hats has been around for longer than ww2. Nearly all modern naval uniforms are based off of the Royal Navy since ww1.
It makes this video really exciting and brings out the climatic feeling. BTW, I thought there is a club-remix version available which came out around the 90s.
I was on three Nuclear submarines in the United States Navy, so I can relate to these fellow submarine sailors. Especially in the stores loading and the lack of enough racks aka bunks on board. That's something our newest Fast Attacks have in common. Only my first boat, the USS HENRY CLAY SSBN625, a Polaris missile boat, was big enough for everyone to have their own bed. The biggest difference is how long they can stay at sea. I spent 72 days at sea on my first patrol, which is a lot longer than the German boat can do. However, that boat would be a very dangerous foe in a battle. It's quiet as hell and has the same kind of weapons.
We dont need nuclear subs because we don't want to be world dominators (any more). The 212a class is perfectly suited to defend our coastline. Small, silent, deadly. It is able to operate in shallow waters where the big nuclear powered subs simply cannot. Perfect match for our needs.
I'd even say the weapons are better in some regards. Fiber Optical guided torpedos and fiber optical submarine to air missiles that aren't capsulated. The IDAS system they have on-board a thing to look out for in ASW tactics. And staying underwater for 18 days without snorkeling is pretty impressive, might be the current record for diesel boats. Obviously cant compare to a nuclear submarine.
@@augustus4711 That's not good enough if your enemy has missiles that can be launched from 1000 miles away. What would your submarines do against a nuclear armed opponent?
One of these German subs (an older model) visited our US Navy submarine base in Groton Connecticut with a German Navy support ship back in 1995 while I was there on shore duty in R-9, 31-Fox Hydraulic shop. They invited us to tour their boat, and of course to "sample" some of their European beer, which has a higher alcohol percentage than our American beer... well, that was a culture exchange, for after one of their beers we were "feeling fine." The German guys were looking at us like saying "look at these girly Americans, can't handle our beers LOL... memories...
Oddly, isn't Beck's an American beer? Anyhow, the narrator made it seem as if nobody drank much beer on the boat. The KINGS OF BEER DRINKERS? Not to mention how much was taken aboard?
Funny how I remember a German aircrew asking me for ice one hot weekend afternoon. I told them i would get it when i went to chow. When I returned, they came over with a mop bucket full of beer cans. The then poured the ice over the beer cans, handed me a beer and off to work on their plane they went. I found it kind of hilarious but cool.
As an American (and a big Navy fan , in particular Submarines) - I just turned 40 but I still have some of my youth left in me - I'm watching this and enjoying it and listening to the kid @33:00 - he seems like a good kid, I'm thinking to myself, "If WW3 ever starts, kids like him will be fighting on our side, it's good to know we have Allies with extremely-advanced Subs and good kids in the crew.." - and then I realize - it was not too far back in history when the men of the German Navy - in particular the submarines - were quite literally our sworn enemy and most hated people on Earth ... And now, I'm watching them have chicken dinner and listening to them talk about Mom's jam and complimenting their technologies etc. Man, it's a trip, how that works.
I felt the same also you should watch Das Boot an excellent movie about a WW2 type 7 u boat even if they were the enemies I feel bad for them their life was hard
Well, lets see, in 2013 a German Type 212 (U-32) not only set a record of staying submerged for 18 days (non-nuclear), but also penetrated the Strike Group’s ASW screen and managed to simulate a torpedo attack on the Carrier. Sort of a repeat of when U-24 (an older type 206 class), which in 2001 during excercise JTFEX 01-2 successfully penetrated the USS Enteprise's ASW screen and fired green smoke next to the carriers hull, "at collision proximity". These type of submarine could also purposely pass a Los Angeles class sub multiple times without it noting them
А ранее Шведы на Готланде не делали тоже самое?А Советская подлодка не всплывала в центре Американской эскадры ,во времена Толи Эйзенхауэра ,Толи Кеннеди ?
What a great documentary video ! The professionalism of the crew is impressive ! Then the U 32 herself propelled, when submerged , by fuel cell technology which is super quiet...great show !
The Captain is a fool telling the world where the guns & ammo is stored! It was the same with Enigma that Germans are blinkered when security is compromised they can't think outside the box. Or under the bed. It beggars belief. Could be lying tho'? They ain't that smart.
Got the Chance to visit Eckernforde when I was an Air Defense Soldier with the 10th Air Defense Brigade US Army. Brigade Commander was Col Heebner, he is now a retired 3 Star! Nice place, I enjoyed the Bean Soup and Rot Wurst on Thursday with the German Army.
I had a wry smile when they started playing the music from Das Boot. The up-tempo version normally signified that the ship was in full attack mode, ready to launch torpedoes and sink merchant vessels.
I bet that all the crew including the captain has watch "das boot" many times before they even enter the navy. and when the reporter is gone, they will sing their heart out "it a long way to Tipperary" to their loudspeaker hehe
german sailors in 1942: attacking convoys, sinking ships, battling for months underwater. german sailors in 2020: stacking beer in torpedo slots with feet.
In about 1985 I as a civilian took a trip from Montreal to Hamilton, Ontario on the H.M.C.S. Ottawa which has since been scrapped. The magazine was stocked with beer. Guys who were not on watch had all they wanted out of vending machines. Today of course it's out of the question as are the daily grog rations.
@@henerymag Back in those days the R.C.A.F. barracks had beer machines too. Then some schmuck decided political correctness was better than common sense and that was that.
And he gets sea sick after 7 years of service.. I've never heard of something like that.. Usually the more you're at sea the less change of getting sea sickness.
You have to congratulate the German industry for doing that, AIP propulsion is really hard to develop, only Japan, Sweden and this year Spain have it,and this was made 15 years ago. Really spectacular!!!
They are mainly licence builds from the German ship yard TKMS (Thyssen Krupp Marien Systems). The Swedish ship yard (Kockums ) is/was owned by TKMS, the Spanisch ship yard also uses the propulsion from Siemens. Japan uses Lithium-ion batteries.
I heard them say the foods that went on board was to calm the nerves...then I see a couple cases of "MONSTER ENERGY DRINK" which is high in caffeine and sugar and makes you hyper. Go figure.
@@dharkbizkit how so? theyre extremely hard to detect maybe some of the most stealthy subs out there and stealth is a submarines greatest asset especially the new type 212 CD subs and the torpedos are deadly to pretty much any vessel anyway
Masterful overdub. Sounds like native speaker in both languages, english and german. Also the vibe of the commands being translated is very well done. Good job to the localization company that did this.
That is one slick looking boat. Being a diesel, she's nearly silent at under 5 knots. The Germans build a very functional and lethal boat. Bravo Deutschland!!!!!
They had the best technology in WW2, even a little too advanced. The Typ XXI was the first real sub that could run submerged on diesels. The Allies resurrected several of them to see how they worked. I think it is called the U2540 but you can visit one in Bremerhaven.
Thanks for educating us and the world with such a dedicated submarine force on U-32. Yes, some people have to smell some other crews' bad socks and accepting a lot of sacrifices for the sake of safeguarding the Germany nation and working with the Allies and others.
I don't think I saw any teenagers on board and that helps. South Korea also uses only senior ranks on their subs. In Navies, "senior" can mean 27 years old. 👩🔧🇺🇲🇷🇺
Captain: play the song, number 2 Number 2: sir, I don't think that's-- Captain: I said play it. Number 2: It's a loong way to Tipperary, it's a long way to go! Whole crew: Its a long way to Tipperary, to the sweetest girl I know!
I was just imagining what would happen if they had an authorised missile tube test, but did it with the wrong tube... "Darn it, you've launched the beer!!!" 😱😆🤣
German subs, always the cutting edge...always with unsuspected and revolutionary innovations ! Boy, am I glad this time we have them as allies for a change !
Star Gazer cutting edge is not this, one American arleigh Burke class destroyer or one BAE type 45 frigate would sink these hundreds of miles before they knew what was coming.
@@madmartigan185 well, actually no they won't you can't sink what you can't hear :) the US navy and the british navy tried it in countless trainings :)
Impressive.... This is amazing. What a crew, what a machine. An amazing weapon. The crew seems well prepared and very professional. It would take a special person to tolerate this environment.
Wow! At last a superb documentary about life in a submarine! After watching almost all the good submarine movies including Das Boot numerous times, this is a life saver!. Thank you!
These little subs "sunk" the US Carriers TWICE during war games !!! They were able to penetrate the outer security of our support ships !! Excellent seamanship !!!
I really like the patch they have on their sleeve beneath their German Flag patch! Looks like a wolf... wish I could get one of those patches! I'm one of those military vets who collects patches
As one of the few remaining who actually served in second world war Royal Navy submarines [ no actual war time service - served in 1950] i found this most interesting - Ex HM Submarine Tally-Ho
I think these men and women are the ones who keep the rest of us safe, their courage and dedication means a lot to me personally, they are doing the best they can,may father God bless their families and friends,Amen
sneaky doc makers, though: when the anchor was retracted into its recess they cut out its final rest - can't tell from the video if it makes a clanking sound when retracted or not.
As an Englishman in his mid-60's, it felt a little eerie seeing a German submarine on a training exercise but very interesting to see the inside of the submarine and I noticed a lot of the instrumentation had inscriptions in English and I have no idea how much the cook was paid, but it was not enough.
"Little eerie"? Why? Germany has been NATO Member for 65 years, 30% of todays Germans has a migration background, english is our second language and in many universities over here its the first one. Our chancelor is a woman, our Minster of Defence is a woman, our former Foreign Minister was gay, our former Minister of Health had asian roots - and even the grandparents (!) of these submariners were mostly born after the war. I'm always surprised that so many people seems to be stucked in long gone stereotypes. Greetings from Hamburg!
@@CH-pv2rz I know like does an oil pan really need two drain plugs? Next they'll put a sensor on each lug nut to tell if it's kept proper torque, lol 👩🔧🇺🇲🇷🇺
What a lovely, compact modern submarine! I was really surprised to see that the submarine had an anchor, it wasn't something that I thought about other than for surface vessels. Another surprise was to hear that it's hull is made from non magnetic steel, something which I had no idea even existed! The small number of crew, and even smaller number of bunks came as a surprise too! Hot bunks being a necessity in such a compact vessel. The sight of food being stored anywhere that there's space for it to fit reminded me of the WW2 era submarines. Speaking of that time, it's nice that these crews are now our allies. Nice to see integrated crew on this boat too! Excellent documentary, subscribed.
Well actually there are many non magnetic metals. The tricky part is to create a combination that also fullfills the requirements for a submarine hull.
Respect to the cook, i hate cooking one meal a day, this dude is cooking 90plus meals!!

@Hans Sausage Remind me who had the largest navy back then and used it to subjugate most of the world again?
@@user-propositionjoe is a joke man why u have to be mad
The Royal Navy and the Deutsche Marine have been working side by side for decades now...They're the best of pals !
beer in torpedo tube.... 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
that's some creative solution when meeting hostile...
In about 1985 I as a civilian took a trip from Montreal to Hamilton, Ontario on the H.M.C.S. Ottawa which has since been scrapped. The magazine was stocked with beer. Guys who were not on watch had all they wanted out of vending machines. Today of course it's out of the question as are the daily grog rations.
Even with becks, they cannot resist our foamy head!
@@henerymag Back in those days the R.C.A.F. barracks had beer machines too. Then some schmuck decided political correctness was better than common sense and that was that.
@@deltavee2 And the aircraft still flew, the ships still sailed and people knew when it was time for a beer and when not. Well nothing stays the same.
Isn't it typical German to put beer the torpedotude? xD
This is extremely interesting. Great narration. Good luck and safe travelling for the crew.
I'm 77, 60 years ago I first went to sea on a deep sea fishing trawler. I wished we had boats like that then.
Most navys in the world wish too
On their first mission they're sailing to English waters. Some things never change.
I feel bad for the cook, they should have at least brought onboard another cook so they work in shifts. This guy looks fatigued.
Various crew members rotate assisting him.
And he gets sea sick after 7 years of service.. I've never heard of something like that.. Usually the more you're at sea the less change of getting sea sickness.
@@markbrisec3972 Nelson suffered from seasickness.
2:10 he's trying not to laugh in front of the camera
You have to congratulate the German industry for doing that, AIP propulsion is really hard to develop, only Japan, Sweden and this year Spain have it,and this was made 15 years ago.
Really spectacular!!!
They are mainly licence builds from the German ship yard TKMS (Thyssen Krupp Marien Systems). The Swedish ship yard (Kockums ) is/was owned by TKMS, the Spanisch ship yard also uses the propulsion from Siemens. Japan uses Lithium-ion batteries.
@@Rick2010100 The German boats have also been converted to modern lithium-ion batteries in recent years.
South Korea now too
Excellent documentary...Don't know how they manage to get adequate rest, and still maintain combat readiness...Very professional crew!
I heard them say the foods that went on board was to calm the nerves...then I see a couple cases of "MONSTER ENERGY DRINK" which is high in caffeine and sugar and makes you hyper. Go figure.
Truly fascinating documentary. I actually did not know Germany had submarines today. I greatly admire all of these amazing young submariners!
We don't just own submarines - we build them and sell them too - to Israel for example
@@totilucke4992 sheiBe
to be honest here: compared to other countries and other submarines, these are disappointing.
@@dharkbizkit how so? theyre extremely hard to detect maybe some of the most stealthy subs out there and stealth is a submarines greatest asset
especially the new type 212 CD subs
and the torpedos are deadly to pretty much any vessel anyway

🤣😂😉
Impressive design and propulsion! As the actor Curd Jürgens said decades ago"..we build them good in Germany...".
Masterful overdub. Sounds like native speaker in both languages, english and german. Also the vibe of the commands being translated is very well done. Good job to the localization company that did this.
yeah your right. They even mimiced the commands spoken through the mic and speaker ..
Fascinating documentary, and loved hearing the classic 'Das Boot' film theme kick in at 14:37.
I wish all the sailors on board the subs all the best during their carrier.
It's a submarine. Carriers look different and have aeroplanes!
@@dunruden9720 He meant Career lol
@@kptlt.phillipthomsen5973very poor english
I love how they played the theme song from Das Boot at 14:37
That is one slick looking boat. Being a diesel, she's nearly silent at under 5 knots. The Germans build a very functional and lethal boat. Bravo Deutschland!!!!!
They had the best technology in WW2, even a little too advanced. The Typ XXI was the first real sub that could run submerged on diesels. The Allies resurrected several of them to see how they worked. I think it is called the U2540 but you can visit one in Bremerhaven.
It better be...with only six and each only having six torpedoes, they're essentially coast guards with a "one and done" type of mission.
Wow German. I like Germany. Not only they are smart but also their technology very amazing
Thanks for educating us and the world with such a dedicated submarine force on U-32. Yes, some people have to smell some other crews' bad socks and accepting a lot of sacrifices for the sake of safeguarding the Germany nation and working with the Allies and others.
My father was a submariner trough the 60s-80s, he had a hoodie with the text "Submen do it deeper" ;-)
Looks to be a very professional crew!
Yes I'd seems so but I can't believe that a crew member has a coffee cup setting by the company key board.
Computer key board
I don't think I saw any teenagers on board and that helps. South Korea also uses only senior ranks on their subs. In Navies, "senior" can mean 27 years old. 👩🔧🇺🇲🇷🇺
Captain: play the song, number 2
Number 2: sir, I don't think that's--
Captain: I said play it.
Number 2: It's a loong way to Tipperary, it's a long way to go!
Whole crew: Its a long way to Tipperary, to the sweetest girl I know!
Benjamin Beck, Lieutenant, looks just like the actor that stared in Das Boot. Great video, keep up the good work.
Great video. I applaud ALL of the world's submariners.
I was just imagining what would happen if they had an authorised missile tube test, but did it with the wrong tube...
"Darn it, you've launched the beer!!!" 😱😆🤣
that would never happen. germans might forget where they put a torpedo or two but they never forget where they put the beer.
The hole Crew is freaking out. The next torpedo is the gunman that short the beer 🤣 happy day from Germany.
Whoever launched it would get to ride home on the outside... "Hold your breath Hans"
😂😂😂
the beer noooooooo the beeerrrrrrr noooooooo!!!!!!
German subs, always the cutting edge...always with unsuspected and revolutionary innovations ! Boy, am I glad this time we have them as allies for a change !
Star Gazer cutting edge is not this, one American arleigh Burke class destroyer or one BAE type 45 frigate would sink these hundreds of miles before they knew what was coming.
@@madmartigan185 well, actually no they won't you can't sink what you can't hear :) the US navy and the british navy tried it in countless trainings :)

@@suddenhit3923P8's would find them. If that didn't their submarines would.
Great channel. Awesome content, I found this a week ago.
Impressive.... This is amazing. What a crew, what a machine. An amazing weapon. The crew seems well prepared and very professional. It would take a special person to tolerate this environment.
Wow! At last a superb documentary about life in a submarine! After watching almost all the good submarine movies including Das Boot numerous times, this is a life saver!. Thank you!
These are great little and relatively inexpensive submarines that are also deadly stealthy.
These little subs "sunk" the US Carriers TWICE during war games !!! They were able to penetrate the outer security of our support ships !! Excellent seamanship !!!

Whats that?

Off course. It is very important for my Country 👊😄😄

Awesome, the best "day in the life of a submariner" documentary ever!!
Just imagine you were attacked by a foreign sub and you forgot that beer is on the torpedo tubes 😂
It might just get the crew on the vessel being fired on to abandon their stations! LOOK! FREE BEER! MAN ....MEN OVERBOARD
It’s OK- no damage done, it was light beer…
Не волнуйтесь: ...покуражились подводники немножко! На подводной лодке, идущей на боевую службу, в торпедные аппараты всегда загружено оружие.

My father served on diesel boats from '46-'49. He'd get a kick out of watching the plush conditions these crewmen are living under.
He didn't serve in Germany.
As one of the few remaining who actually served in second world war Royal Navy submarines [ no actual war time service - served in 1950] i found this most interesting - Ex HM Submarine Tally-Ho
Thank you for your comment! Good luck
Awesome boat, awesome crew!
great HD documentary, I had no idea how modern diesel subs are now. Looks much better than my days on Oberons.
Which one did u serve on?
I think these men and women are the ones who keep the rest of us safe, their courage and dedication means a lot to me personally, they are doing the best they can,may father God bless their families and friends,Amen
Now they have to sing the Tiperarry song from Das Boot!
"It's a long, long way...." !
It had never even occurred to me that a submarine would require an anchor.
sneaky doc makers, though: when the anchor was retracted into its recess they cut out its final rest - can't tell from the video if it makes a clanking sound when retracted or not.
@@Scriptorsilentum Ha!
Me neither! Though now that I've seen it it seems like the most obvious thing.
Andrew Robertson same...now that I realize that they have it, it’s screwing with my mind really badly.
It's a boat, correct?
Beer and smokes on board, where do I sign?! All we need now are zee Vimen! Oh, wait, they have those too! How very interesting.
We party hard, even 500 meters below water level.
The German shipyards are one of the best all over the World incl. submarines.
The Das Boot theme song. Perfect touch!
Beer stored in torpedo tubes --- hahahah I love Germans and being German :)
D B ugh i cant
@QE ornotQE which lie are you talking about.
Beer is the German's secret Wunderwaffe :)
@D B Her probably got torpedo tubed to catch the beer.
Maybe they dock in LaRochelle and drink with Thomsen!
Great, great comment!

Excellent, WELT is doing marvelous job for quality information and investigative research based documentaries. Well done. Full marks.
Another excellent & Fantastic documentary ! Thanks
As an Englishman in his mid-60's, it felt a little eerie seeing a German submarine on a training exercise but very interesting to see the inside of the submarine and I noticed a lot of the instrumentation had inscriptions in English and I have no idea how much the cook was paid, but it was not enough.
"Little eerie"? Why? Germany has been NATO Member for 65 years, 30% of todays Germans has a migration background, english is our second language and in many universities over here its the first one. Our chancelor is a woman, our Minster of Defence is a woman, our former Foreign Minister was gay, our former Minister of Health had asian roots - and even the grandparents (!) of these submariners were mostly born after the war. I'm always surprised that so many people seems to be stucked in long gone stereotypes. Greetings from Hamburg!
@Wilhelm Eley They use the same alphabet but it is written in German. So close, but no cigar.
The sub has knobs and handles so nicely polished like the Germans build their ships the same way they build their cars
If they did that the the sub would be in the shop every other day.BMWs makes the worst engines and Transmissions for their M Cars...
@@CH-pv2rz I know like does an oil pan really need two drain plugs? Next they'll put a sensor on each lug nut to tell if it's kept proper torque, lol 👩🔧🇺🇲🇷🇺
What a lovely, compact modern submarine!
I was really surprised to see that the submarine had an anchor, it wasn't something that I thought about other than for surface vessels.
Another surprise was to hear that it's hull is made from non magnetic steel, something which I had no idea even existed!
The small number of crew, and even smaller number of bunks came as a surprise too!
Hot bunks being a necessity in such a compact vessel. The sight of food being stored anywhere that there's space for it to fit reminded me of the WW2 era submarines.
Speaking of that time, it's nice that these crews are now our allies.
Nice to see integrated crew on this boat too!
Excellent documentary, subscribed.
Well actually there are many non magnetic metals. The tricky part is to create a combination that also fullfills the requirements for a submarine hull.
Lovely?? Really? That's hardly the adjective to apply to a combat vessel.
@@drats1279 *word* LOL how wouls you describe it..beside "lovely ".. I'll use " heavy "
Use a magnet on your pocketknife blade. Most are stainless steel.; tough and nonferrous.
Type 212 is one of the stealthiest sub in the world, no question. This sub is legit work of art.
... the new design called the 212CD will be even better, with a newly designed hull shape to avoid sonar.
@@louisavondart9178 it seems like, the new hull design is a proof-of-concept yet it may be effective against underwater pings and thereby detection.
Love the music from ‘Das Boot’ just before the sub leaves harbour’. Great film. Nice touch I thought
