Video tour of U-33

[mookiemookie]

Site's in Norwegian, but Captain Marr speaks English in the video.

Loved the bananas hanging over the bunks. Some things never change:

A Harry Potter commercial??

thanks for the link! I saw a good documentation about the boat a while ago, maybe I'll find it in English too.

Great title of the report btw: "This is the wet dream of the u-boat captain!"

And why doesn't der Alte wear his hat inside the boat? Guess he isn't as cool as Jürgen Prochnow...

Is my German off, or is there actually a sign taped up above the toilet instructing users to sit down when they pee?

Also, KKpt. Marr = nerdy cute + u-boat = my new imaginary boyfriend.

Angles and dangles.....and dry shoes

Not a whole lot of angles or dangles on a Type VII. More likely cramped restroom quarters combined surfaced pitch and roll. VIIA's were notorous for having problems with handling and the afforementioned pitching and rolling; something that was rectified in the design in VIIB's by increasing the beam.

But U-33 isn't a Type VII. It is a modern boat of the 212 Class. So angles and dangles is correct. And they want dry shoes.....

My fault for not looking at the link. I saw U-33 and thought Type VIIA. The comment about hanging bananas seemed to confirm it. My bad.

We all make mistakes. Discipline be damned.

It was the type VIIA or the Type I that suffer from this?

Some of us make more mistakes than others.

You're right, indeed. This doesn't make it easier for us males:




2 other things I have noticed:

- one of the tubes was already flooded (sign with "bewässert" on it)
- it was quite silent in the noise compartment - no comparision to a type VII engine room...

Should we start counting? I will have more than you!

But I have always been a proponent of learning more from the mistakes I've made than the luck of doing it correctly the first time.
