Found a couple of nice videos of u-boats in WW2. Thought you guys might be interested if you haven't already seen them.

The music did leave something to be desired, but the footage was great. The tonnage king and Erich Topp. I thought it was funny that he was having a hard time with the handle on the periscope in the one scene. Obviously, filmed in a studio or somewhere for the benefit of the propaganda dept.

Interestingly the second video shows U-A and several italian boats.

Not color, but it is a U-boat video I'm sure has been posted before. My identification is not up to speed, is this a type II? or a type VII with an older conning tower?

I didn't make the videos. Just thought others would find it interesting as I did. And inspiration for playing GWX! :Kaleun_Periskop:

It appears that they both both on and off. My guess is they used stock footage of real u-boats coming in and out of a local dock in germany, thus why they had both type II and type VII featured. Awesome find!!
