I like the idea of a sea monster attacking a U-boat, but the facts that exist prove otherwise. Incidentally there was a U.S Navy ship that was forced to return to port because of a mishap with it's underwater sensors. It turned out a giant squid had attached itself to the underside of the ship, unlike this incident they found traces of claws that are found on the tentacles of squids on the rubber parts of the ship.

It was not dinosaur or mosasaur, it was a Kraken, an octopus with giga mammoth size than other sea creatures. Its tentacles, can wreck a big boat with just one tentacle hit the boat. None of dinosaur of the sea still live after the tragedy of big doom that wipe out most dinosaur and especially after ice age. Left only Kraken as the king of the ocean. Even US biggest aircraft carrier only 1/20 size of Kraken. So yes it can sunk a submarine.

But why would a Captain of a submarine, jerry rig wires going through a hatch, knowing full well that would compromise any waterproofing. Like if the Nazis were all so stupid, then there wouldn't have been a WW2. I think this story was made up, by this guy on You Tube who didn't do any research, and wants to get views quickly. 😂

As a Scottish power customer, my experience is that they are the most dishonest company you can imagine. Claiming the found the sub is the most unbelievable part of this story

I had a feeling there would be some evidence to cast suspicion on this whole story. Whether those crew members were telling the truth remains to be seen, but I feel it's more likely that an unremarkable captain messed up and told a lie to cover himself, than a giant animal attacking the submarine.

Not worth it. The "haunting" goes back to a journalist from Austria who wrote about it in the 90s, Viktor Farkas was his name. He made that whole story up. EDIT: btw, the correct designation is not "UB-65" but "SM U 65" (Seiner Majestät Unterseeboot 65). Our U-boats just have the callsign "U", because "Unterseeboot" is one word, and "U-Boot" is just the shortened version / military-slang. EDIT 2: ... there have been both designations, "U" and "UB", although I have no idea what the "B" refers to. "UG"-class also was planned.

@@jamiemerian9736 I was not aware of the diver, but I guess that more likely happened due to the dangers of wreck diving and has nothing to do with any kind of "curse". Well, to my surprise (while doing more research on the topic) I found out that I was WRONG: there were indeed TWO classes of submarines in service of the Reichsmarine with SAME numbers, and one class actually HAD the designation "UB". ("UB"-series was developed as small single-hull-class for coastal waters, but later became a "full size" submarine with two hulls. They kept the designation "UB" for ...reasons (?) ) So SM U 65 and SM UB 65 are two DIFFERENT ships and I had to research it all again :) ...and I guess that's HOW the "mystery" started: the data of both submarines seem to have gotten mixed up. Here is what I found: Official data of SM U 65, taken from historical german sources: - launched 21st of March 1916 (Baunummer/number 249) in Kiel (not Belgium as stated by Farkas), Germaniawerft - entered service at May 11th 1916 - commanders: -Hermann von Fischel (May 1916 - July 1918), Kapitänleutnant -Gustav Siess (August - September 1918), Kapitänleutnant (not to be confused with Gustav Sieß, commander of U 73 and U 33) -Clemens Wickel (September - October 1918), Kapitänleutnant - part of IV. U-Boot-Flottille till November 1916 (North Sea), later part of U-Flottille Mittelmeer (Mediterranean Sea) - participated in 11 operations/missions with a total of 48 ships (77.715 BRT/tons) of other nations sunk, including "Athos" (France) and "Caledonia" (Great Britain) - Selbstversenkung (self-sinking) 29th of October 1918 to avoid being captured by enemy near the coast of Croatia, no casualties among the crew Official data of SM UB 65, taken from same sources as mentioned above: - launched 26th of July 1917 (number unknown) in Hamburg (still not Belgium), AG Vulcan Stettin Werft - entered service at August 18th 1917 - commander: -Martin Schelle, Kapitänleutnant - part of V. U-Boot-Flottille till April 1918, later part of II. U-Boot-Flottille till July 1918 - participated in 6 operations/missions with a total of 9 ships (22.461 BRT/tons) of other nations sunk including "Arbutus" (Great Britain) and "Maria Jose" (Portugal). - Auf See vermisst (MIA at sea) until 2003 (after Farkas already had written his book); found near Cornwall, GB, crew of 34 assumed dead The fact that UB 65 had only one commander throughout its time of service, but U 65 had three might be the key to the origin of the ghost story. Both submarines had no casualties among officers and there are no clues about "unusual high numbers of" casualties among the crew either prior to their sinking. The officers on U 65 changed due to normal causes, promotions, health reasons, etc.; but UB 65 indeed was lost in an accident (assumed). I believe the changes in command of U 65 have been assigned to UB 65, due to confusion between the two different classes. The "Maria Jose" for example was sunk by UB 65 4 days AFTER UB 65 allegedly was sunk by an exploding torpedo onboard, so this part of the story is made up, too. Truth is we don't know what exactly happened to UB 65, but it never had a change of command. We also know exactly what happened to U 65 and it had 3 changes of command. Mix up both facts and you'll get an excellent ghost story...

The sonar image of the submarine does seem to show hull damage in the aft section. It would be no surprise to ME if the Kriegsmarine's official records omitted a sea monster and the story were replaced with more mundane reasons for the vessel's loss.

Very interesting - one thing bothers me though. If these cables were fitted before sailing, how did she dive whilst en-route from Heligoland to the North Channel and if fitted whilst at sea, the water entering the sub would have been noticed as soon as she dived afterwards. Surely no man intelligent enough to command a U Boat would allow cables to be run through the hatch, knowing that this would stop the hatch from closing?.
