Really interesting!

What is interesting is the making of sub part modules and then welding it all together. This process is still used today.

Excellent find Seth...I honestly thought it was only the type XXI that were built in modules

The youtube videos can be downloaded by a freeware called "vdownloader"
I'm not sure whether it is legal or not, so just check it out by yourself at Google
Also, it is not 100% working since Youtube may have blocked these softwares

Thanks Seth. I love it although I've seen many pics about building a U-boat before

Excellent clip.

That video mentions Schuhart, so I checked uboat.net about him.

Have any of you sunk an aircraft carrier on your first patrol? This guy sunk HMS Courageous (22,500 tons) on his first war patrol. He also survived the war, and served the West Germany's navy.

Excellent find, mate! A carrier on the first war patrol???? Lucky guy, this Schuhart! I have never sunk a carrier, nor any capital ship on my first patrol...

Videodownloader works... simply because the flv (flash-embedded video) also remains in your browswer's cache. Videodownloader works well with Firefox,... and with IE you can simply browse your cache to find it.
