The wreck that has heavy water is a registered war grave most barrels have been breached those that haven’t been damaged were retrieved in the 90’s the rest is inaccessible without disturbing the wreck and some of the barrels were not entirely full

One research video I found was they were able to close on U-480 because they had scraped the rubber coating when they went to rest on a sand bed giving an accurate location of “the dragons lair” to mine it. I didn’t know about the Sidney and found the whole story amazing. There were model kits available as a kid which had freighters with hidden guns on deck, but the Germans definitely took it to the next level.

I've always loved the Nat Geo documentaries over the years. But I really love the "Drain the Ocean" series. Technology today that helps find these underwater wrecks and then helps to scan them in 3-D like a model is just fantastic. I'm waiting for the tech that allows you to walk through these ships as if they were on the surface through some kind of hologram-ish type of thing projected down to the wreck, eliminating the danger of actually having to dive to it. Just a thought. 🤔 Anyways, loved the video and can't wait for more!! 😁👍

Alot of these sunken vessels are also sites of memorial, mass sea graves and in some cases house a spectacular ecosystem of flora and fauna, if the hologram would ever be able to scan the internal of these vessels you'd have to have permission and a lot of nerve to wander around them, even if it's only digitally, my grandfather was sunk on an allied merchant ship and if a James Cameron would want to document the internals of that ship and they came for me for permission I would have to let alot of historians down, sometimes it is better to simply not know these kind of things...

No, you wouldn't...Germany had absolutely no chance to win the war. Once the US got involved there was no way a relatively resource poor country with no good access to the sea had any shot of competing with the industrial strength and production power of America. Germany should have been defeated by France had the French leadership been competent. They were hoping the majority of the world would be reluctant to enter the war due to WW1, and a lot of the things you've likely learned about the German military from the time period is propaganda. You were much more likely to find German soldiers moving field guns with horses than a battalion of Stugs etc.

It was successful given the fact the Axis was busy battling the Soviets at the same time. History shows Germany and their chances were very strong.

The first Allied ship to be sunk by U480 was the Canadian Corvette HMCS ALBERNI on 21 August 1944. The official memorial for the crews of both vessels is in Courtenay, British Columbia at the HMCS ALBERNI Museum and Memorial (HAMM). Besides artifacts from the Alberni the museum also has records of U480 prior to her last voyage out of Norway. With the assistance of Library and Archives Canada and Germany, all of the names of crewmen have been authenticated as well as correct spellings. HAMM has been in operation since 1999.

The German raiders were not warships camouflaged as merchant ships. It was the other way around, merchant ships carrying concealed armament. It was the job of these raiders to sink enemy merchant ships. They were not meant to engage enemy warships such as the Sydney. That is why the captain of the Kormoran, Detmers, had no choice but to try and lure the Sydney into point blank gunfire range and surprise the Sydney and Detmers succeeded in doing that.. Six officers and 70 odd crew of the Kormoran lost their lives. The Captain, Theodore Detmers, and the rest of the crew spent the remainder of the war as pow's in Australia.

Drain the ocean off the Carolinas coast ! The U. S. Navy filled several old ships with toxic chemicals, asbestos, even PCBs then sunk them off the coast.

This could have been a good documentary if the presented scientific data wouldn't have been messed up right from the start. 3:03: Heavy water is not "chemically hydrogen". It's water. You've cut out the essential part that it's made from Deuterium ("heavy hydrogen") and oxygen, and that Deuterium is chemically hydrogen, but has twice the weight of normal hydrogen. 3:50 Heavy water was mainly required as a moderator, so natural Uranium could be used. Of course it also worked for cooling, but that was not the main purpose. 4:00 They produced (almost) 1000 kilos of heavy water _in_ _total_. Without that last part, the information is useless. I'm not going to mention the rest, if already after 4 minutes the mistakes pile up. Sad to see that the level of exactness has decreased so much at national geographic.

Helped along, of course, by that big hole in the hull from the explosion! 🤣😂😁

The naval battle was the most epic part, a game of mind and tactics

This is first time I’ve seen this documentary and it was amazing thank

the whole "draining of the water" shtick got really old after the first 55 thousand times he said it. Its sonar, we get that, no reason to use the drain the water analogy every time

​@Michael Garza you and ape boy don't like it? Simple solution. DON'T WATCH IT

wait, so has it been under water for more than 70 years? I'm not sure I heard it right the first 10 times... 😂 Seriously though, this was a great production

This series would be much better without all the repetition, repetition, repetition, oh I said that already.

Using this show as background noise/ distraction while loading or respawning while gaming will have ya in for some surprises when it turns from chill documentary to giving me a lil shock at 45:31 😅 Chill to horror show real fast

Informative video👍

Danke schön ,Das war sehr interessante Doku .👍 💐 !

My take from this is that there are a lot of dead people buried in the sees 👀 ... a watery grave 😢😵‍💫
