Its sad but war is war.

[@toddkurzbard]

Besides its' informativeness, what I also like about this video is hearing the story of a German vessel narrated by s German narrator. It means we get the correct pronunciations of all the names.

[@solangelauthier2381]

The narrator is absolutely not a native German speaker. He mispronounces every German word !

Dont you mean "winter of 1944" not 1945 as WWII ended in May 1945

[@KnoxIrvin-fv2tu]

No. The ship sunk in February of 1945.

[@MichaelCampin]
