Jmack · 07-15-07, 12:43 PM

i guess they show the not so good side ...

bigboywooly · 07-15-07, 12:54 PM

I have to say the Iron Graves one is possibly one of the best I have seen

You can visibly watch Doenitz age throught it

Off to watch the second now

Nice find and thanx for sharing

Brag · 07-15-07, 02:07 PM

Excellent find!
I watched it right after docking my boat. Somewho that made it that more poignant.

Will watch the second one later. Thanks for sharing

Great find indeed.....

Nice one! Thx! I've watched half of the first one and already changed my POV about Doenitz. I've been reading his book...

Jmack · 07-15-07, 06:16 PM

in fact its a bit diferent from the romantic side most the others documentarys show.

but there are things that dont change ... the courage needed .

ReM · 07-15-07, 07:33 PM

"in total 655 people have been on the Ceramic,-- saved just one of them".
Somebody tried to save more people once in august 1942.U-156 torpilates the passenger liner Laconia that was sailing under the brittish flag.They sunk the ship,no big deal,but after that they heard italian cries for help.Being allies they had to help them,repported the incident to the commandment,and u-506 and u-507 was sent to help u-156 in its task,along with the italian Capellini.They picked up 800 brittish passengers and 450 italians,reached the limit of their own safety(i guess boiancy)and were due to meet with french warships to give them the passengers.2 american bombers showed up and althou the axis subs harbored the red cross flag,they bombed and gunned,and sucsecvently killed a part of the rescued passengers.
That is why a sub never helps crews or passengers of sinking ships.

The part that i don`t get was why the u-boots attack passenger ships in the first place?
