Mr. History guy I have to thank you for bringing the supreme dilligence of America's service men to the fore. If only all of us had a history teacher like you. We are living in a time where those inside and outside of America are doing their best to put America down in many ways. Your show should be shown in schools on a daily basis.
I live next to Pearl Harbor and everyone comes for the Arizona Memorial but just next to it is the submarine museum. There is a area set aside that has a plaque for every U. S. submarine lost with the names of the crew and a brief history of the submarine Reading through all of plaques really rings home the people that were lost .
I'm a US Submarine Veteran. Our organization, USSVI (United States Submarine Veterans, Inc) Has a ceremony annually where we remember all 65 lost submarines and the crew lost aboard those boats. To date the US Navy has lost (approx) 4022 persons aboard submarines. This ceremony is called "The Tolling of the Boats" where the subs name is read and the number of crew lost noted and a bell is struck twice, once for the crew and once for the boat.
Good morning from scorching Ft Worth TX History Guy and everyone watching. Have a great weekend and stay safe. Toured German U-boat 505 at the Chicago Museum in 1982 during Navy Boot Camp graduation Weekend. Toured USS Louisville while inport Bahrain in 1993. Toured Japanese Battleship Mikasa in Yokosuka while deployed on USS Cape Cod AD 43 in 1986.

Greetings from Fort Lauderdale 🌴☀️🥵👋🏼😁 My father was an electrical engineering supervisor for the Nuclear Quality Control Division of General Dynamics in Groton, Connecticut, and was very proud of his submarines! God rest his soul 🙏🏼☦️🕊️
I worked there a short time after I got out of the Navy before I went back to school. I worked mainly on the Groton 694 doing wiring. My oldest brother served on both the HardHead a WW2 Balao class submarine and then the Pargo. I went in the Pargo when it was tied up at Rota, Spain. I was there with a patrol squadron.
IDEA!!! USS LST 325 WW2 ship is running down the Mississippi for tours. Stops in dubuque IA and Hannibal Missouri in September. I would love to see a video on that important piece of equipment
I saw it in Lacrosse WI, over labor day weekend. Was very cool but it was a muggy 101 degrees, and that ship was HOT! Give you an idea of what the sailors did on that ship.
When I was 11 or 12 my best friend and I drew up plans for a submarine made from a backyard propane tank that we intended to launch in the Missouri river. :-D Oh, to be twelve again! Of course we never got farther than the "engineering" drawings, fortunately.
We got as far as testing it in swimming pool. We should have realised what was going to happen when our fathers told us to wait until they'd got deck chairs and beers. Parenting in the 1960's was a bit more robust than it is these days.
At around age 10 or 11, my friend and I were going to build a plywood ocean liner and take kids in the neighborhood up and down our local creek to the local lake. Lots of drawings, but alas. Smart kids need to be encouraged.
When I was a kid I got one of those "submarine kits" advertised in every comic book. It was cardboard, but at nine years old I must have logged quite a few hours on voyages that never left my bedroom.
The picture of the USS Proteus and the submarines alongside of her hit me with full force. I've seen that picture before. It was on the bulkhead along with another aerial shot of that day in the post office aboard the Proteus. I reported aboard the "Old Pro" nearly 40 years later in December 1984 as my first ship when I was on active duty in the US Navy. Prepared - Professional - Productive.
I like to hear about submarines, because my uncle served on a sub in the Pacific. The funny thing was he got to see his brother quite often, because he was serving on a sub tender. How about telling us about sub tenders?
Prof. Geiger, Terrific episode. Kinda normal for you. Just a small point: its pronounced 'Berg, All' vise 'ber, gal'. Her namesake USS BERGALL SSN-667 was a STURGEON class submarine that served in the Navy during the cold war. Would like you to consider a series of submarine episodes about the cold war submarine exploits of U.S. submarines. Its quite a story(s). Suggest "BLIND MANS BLUFF" (Sontag/Drew) you could draw inspiration from. I was there from 77'-95' serving on a series of submarines (mostly STURGEON class boats). I was cold, but was most certainly war! Keep up the great work! One of my favorite channels!
In your conclusion of the story about the Bergall, you said that the survival of all vessels was a testament to the tenacity and bravery of the crews, which is true, but I would like to point out the role the engineering and construction of the two vessels also played in the survival of those ships for that time.
Nobody remembers the *welders, pipe fitters, and the torpedo builders* but every submariner bet their lives on the *strength* of those welds, the *fit* of the pipes, and the *safety* of the weapons in storage being *perfect* EVERY DAY aboard! Just ask the ghosts of the men of the *Kursk* what happens when any of the above fail. There is no such thing as a *minor* emergency on a submarine, when even a *malfunctioning toilet* can sink your boat! 👍👍👍👍👍
In the late eighties i was a volunteer for submarines after serving on a carrier & minehunter. I will always remember practising for a submerged escape through one of two escape hatches onboard. The idea was that a metal tube decended down the hatch way to about waist height, the compartment was flooded above the tube bottem, oxygen masks dropped from above. The lights were dimmed & the idea was a circle of sailors would ono by one go up the tube etc leaving the remaining sailors to move forward & swapping the masks. Well in reality mild panic took over, not pretty. After that reality check i applied to leave the navy. Ps in WWll the UK subs set off on war patrol with huge' heavy 'strong backs' over the hatches as depth charges had previously blown open unsecured hatches.
Excellent work. keeoing the rush of events straight in a nautical disaster is difficult. As Dr. Rubert Citino satd, "The job of the historian is to impose order on the chaos of events." --Bob Bailey in Mainr
my cousin was a submariner. and, even on American boats, the use of the head almost required an engineering degree. USN medics onboard a boat had in their version of the Washington Medical manual, a chapter for the removal of feces from the eyes. There was even a club formed for submariners who had the misfortune of using the head wrong called "the golden flapper" club.
The Deutschland's trip to Baltimore was significant in one way that you did not mention. The firebombs that German sabateurs used to set off the huge Black Tom explosion of an ammunition shipping dock facility in Jersey City, so large that buildings in downtown Manhattan were damaged, were smuggled into the US on the submarine on that voyage to Baltimore. The sabotage happened well before the US declared war on Germany. Germany ran extensive sabotage operations during that time that damaged or destroyed dozens of facilities in the U.S. that were used to produce and ship war supplies to UK and France. However, the German firebombs were time bombs only about the size of a cigar, and the munitions plants and shipments were so hazardous without the firebombs that America took about ten years to figure out what had been going on.
You should make a video about David Bushnell's Turtle from the Revolutionary War. Or the CSS Hunley, or the Russian ship Viktor Leonov that was seen off the Eart Coast of America
Dear History Guy, I recently saw the Flim Flam man 1967, with George C Scott, a masterpiece. I can’t help thinking that you lookalike a bit and I wish so badly there was a sequel. Pls consider starring as the Flim Flam man 2, sadly there’s no sequel. Pls can you do Flim Flam man sketches, as a pilot, mini series, or intro/outro/intervals? Or how about a history of grifting, tricksters and scam artists? Many thanks!
Have you done a show on the history of the socket wrench or ratchet? I see a lot of old documents and every time you see mechanics they are always using regular wrenches. Yet today no mechanic would be without a ratchet and sockets. How did this happen?
Great video. But in a rare moment, you are mispronouncing Bergall. It is more of an "aw" or the "au" like in haul, sounding "A" and not pronounced like gal. My submarine frequently tied up next to the nuclear powered Bergall (named after the world war two submarine you are talking about.)
Armored cruisers like USS San Diego (formerly USS California) were obsolescent at best. Being older, they were not designed to withstand WW1 technology torpedoes and mines.
You should do a Video on President Teddy Roosevelt going for a ride on the USS Plunger SS-2. 1905. He even gave the Submarine Force a pay raise shortly thereafter.
I love this stuff! I don’t think that most Americans realize the importance of the contributions of service specific mechanized armaments. But with the war in Ukraine and the reporting of the best and worst equipment available to each side (T-64,72s, sea drones, HIMARS etc) I’m sure that interest has surely been heightened. Keep them coming………..Please? From NH, 👵🏻🤔😉
You gotta wonder if captain schlett's boat wasn't sank on purpose because they knew the war was ending.. Because it just sounds like a pretty fantastic mistake.
Serving aboard two subs in the 1980's I can relate to these tales. Trust me there are way many more. Good times bad times and OH SH1+ times wouldn't trade a minute of those eleven patrols and one daso for anything. Thank you for telling some of the stories of the silent service.
The voyage underlined the prewar and early war foolishness, which in addition to hauling improperly tested, faulty torpedoes, decreed that USN submarines would transit submerged by day and only charge their batteries on the surface at night...
How frustrating to have actually flown all that way and catch that enemy submarine stopped on the surface only to have the bomb you dropped dead center on its deck not explode. Just another wonderful gift from the same department that, in the not too distant future, will provide US submarines the magnificent Mk. 14 torpedo. The worst piece of unmitigated junk that dared to be labeled an actual weapon. And who does everyone have to thank for all these worthless so-called weapons? Our own U.S. Navy’s Bureau of Ordnance. The same bureau that spend the two and a half years of World War Two denying there was anything wrong with their torpedo and insisting the problem was United States Navy submarine commanders didn’t know how to properly fire torpedoes and strike the enemy ship. Meanwhile over an estimated 1,200 United States Navy submarine sailors died due to carrying out attempted attacks on enemy vessels using faulty Mk. 14 torpedoes. Due to BuOrd refusal to look into the torpedo failure issue, Pacific Submarine Command undertook the job themselves and quickly solved all most all the problems and made the necessary modifications and alterations themselves, just in a matter of months. How’s that for a bit of history….
Imagine serving in the navy, you are the best anywhere at your job, so your commander gets all the important rewards. He might let you have a hot shower.
(Apologies if channel promotion is inappropriate) I have made a playlist on my channel of WW2 Uboat Crew Interrogation Reports.. I cannot help but plug this here.. The first part of the reports describing the crew and also the descriptions of the sinkings are often quite amazing.. I have out time stamps in description of these vids..

U-1206 is a classic I cut a fart and blew it apart. Gee Captain did you sink any ships in the war? Ya Ya mine, I carpped in it und it was one for the record books.
Note, the Great Recession and otherwise poor USA economy today is largely because of Reagan's idea to spend the USSR into the ground via military expansion. Under him, the deficit exploded.
In reference to the newly designed, pressurized head in the submarines, you called it a "poop torpedo". Would it more accurately be called a "poo pedo"???
24:25 Is the attack on the aggressive power so unexpected? Nowadays you can think what some certain country would do with its 7+thousand of nukes and triade to deliver them when US attacks it. Oh wait US already did.
41:32 You right well know that Danzig was not part of Poland and had not been part of Poland since 1793. After 1945, 14 million ethnic Germans were forcibly deported from eastern Europe and Germany was partitioned with large parts of Germany and Prussia seeded to Poland and the Soviet Union. This included Danzig which ceased to exist as it was renamed Gdańsk. Therefore Danzig only existed as part of Poland from 1454-1793 and never again. The current city of Gdańsk has been part of Poland since 1945.
