Original German U-Boat propaganda video

[Ula Jolly]

So-called "Q-ships" did score some hits on the submarines.

Hello,
yes, there were a lot of armed merchants later in the war, which seem to have fired at U-boats now and then, but there is no report or evidence that a merchant's gun ever hit a U-boat. The sinking of smaller single merchants with the deck gun happened quite often, at least early in the war.
And despite of all those reality discussion you see that here is a water tight compartment with shells right undernath the deck gun, and an additional one in the basis of the conning tower. Despite it is a propaganda film showing the ship going down in minutes i wonder whether reloading of the deck gun really took more than a minute per shell, as it is modded in the Rub mod. I get the impression that some capabilities seem to be underestimated in the reality mods
