Thank you all for watching! I hope you found this look at the end to some more German ships interesting! Let me know what other ships you want to see in this series!
Your videos are really great :) But I must say, there are sometimes where you repeat yourself (you mentioned Hitler's order and the admiral's resignation 2 seperate times) ;)
@@ralexy999 Entirely intentional, sometimes when it comes to a complicated subject like that, it's better to repeat it to make sure people have the context to understand why the ship was doing what it was doing. Trust me, I've done it both ways before and I'll get comments about it one way or another.
I have a collection of photos and videos of the Kriegsmarine ships that I've gathered for years...yet to my surprise I found in this vid a lot of pictures and scenes that I had never even seen before ! Congrats for obtaining such rare footage which will be a great addition to my collection.
Greetings and salutations, thank you for yet another marvellous presentation. I was surprised to learn that the Gneisenau was, at that time, the largest ship ever refloated. I'm glad to announce that I am now an 'Admiral' of the channel. I'm financially limited being on a disability pension but you, my friend, are worth every cent!! Onward and upward!!!
Just look at those Tallboy craters around Lutzow. One Tallboy did land near the bow and tore a large hole in the bottom of the hull which of course led her to settle on the bottom. She was lucky they were in shallow water at the time. If a Tallboy had actually hit her on or anywhere immediately adjacent to the magazines, she’d almost certainly have lost her entire bow or stern. If she’d been hit midship she could have been torn in two. The crew of Lutzow were lucky that 617’s usual accuracy was off on that particular day.

Interesting as always, thank you!

Glad to have onboard! Early access and other member exclusive things my friend!
Minor point but the port was built by Poland as Gdynia before WW2 and being occupied by Nazi German and renamed Gotenhafen.
Excellent programme on an excellent channel, thanks.
Very nice. Well told and I found this greatly interesting!
I wished he talked a bit slower to give us time to ponder a bit about the facts he is delivering at full speed !
Schon traurig, waren einst schöne stolze Schiffe. 😪
So true.

15:40 The destroyer was named Karl Galster, not Glaster.
This fundamental mistake renders the entire video worthless! 😉😉😉
Lol, you do sound like those comments! Glad to see you Ray.
