You have your orders, no matter how stupid they are. With Finns not so stupid after all. All statistics show that. Finns did good defense and this is a book turned to a movie about continuation war. Bc location, location, location and our tactics, tactics and tactics, actually we held soviets that long it was more important to Stalin to get Berlin as he did before other allies. They don't teach that in usa schools I bet. Anyways as little nation who nobody cared except germans (thx for them for the help) to certain point, we held our independence. After the war is completely different discussion. P.s. If Russia would try anything...same tactics are still taught bc location. Ofc new ways of war like cyper war and so on. We have been preparing for russias attack since 1945.

This movie is quite rare, as it depicts the wild rumors that go around when accurate information is very limited. The people could only read a few newspapers and a few moments of radio news a day. Thus there is a lot of room for rumours that get wilder and wilder as the story is told a bit different each time it goes forward. For example the guarantees from sweden & USA, or the different places the unit is said to be heading. These rumours are very typical of memoirs or diaries of people in earlier wars. Also for ww2 veterans from other countries

The author of the book went to both wars (winter + continuation), so I presume he based the characters somewhat to real soldiers. The realism stems from the fact that this is the third movie adaptation (1955, 1985, 2017) and they always tried to be more realistic than the previous. Same book, yet each film is unique. This latest one is what most finns consider the best.

"Das Boot" was nominated 6 times for the Academy Awards in 1983, but had to compete with "Gandhi" and "E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial", who won most of the Awards (and, additionally, "An Officer and a Gentleman", "Tootsie", "Blade Runner" and some other excellent movies, so it was a very strong competition).

Many of your questions were answered in the book and its a masterpiece as well. The dash the captain takes toward Africa while being attacked at Gibraltar was to get into shallower water, much faster on the surface then underwater and by a razors edge he was able to just get enough sand under his keel to keep them alive. Also a throw seemingly throw away scene on the boat was the fly walking across the picture of the C and C, this fly was very important to the authors phycological state, he wrote about how that fly had a choice not to be on the boat but it stayed anyway. The authors description of the depth charging and sinking haunt me many years later. In depth charge attacks, a destroyer can not run sonar because of the engine noise, so they would have to run slow to find a contact, then speed up while circling around and then speed up to drop depth charges, which could only be dropped at high speed to avoid to avoid breaking the destroyers keel. 2 destroyers can work together with one slow to acquire targets while the other delivers the punch. With one destroyer gave the captain time to change course and depth once they know they had been found which the hunters also knew so they were all guessing what evasive maneuvers to take or were being taken. As you can imagine 2 or more destroyers took away that bit of strategy from the u boat.

@JTRetroReactions I got the book, but it's in German, it's definitely worth reading. L-G Buchheim was a Naval War Correspondent in WWII and based it on his 2 trips on a VIIC combat boat. As to the scenes in the beginning at the "Bar Royal" they are described as shown in the film in the book, who actually got offended by it was a group of former U-Boat officers, who disliked being shown in that way. He was pretty pissed with the scene with the oily rag in the face and said that would never happen to an officer (though he was just wearing an officer's uniform without any power) but other former crew member of U-96 were adamant that exactly this happened. The boat's crew was around 50 - 4 officers (Captain, 1st and 2nd watch officer, chief engineer( 4 Petty Officers (boatswain, quartermaster and a machinist for each diesel and electric engine) 13 NCO's (2 boatswain's mates, 2 quartermaster's mates, 2 radio mates, 4 engineer's mates (2 diesel and 2 electro) 1 torpedo engineer) and 26 enlisted (crew grew bigger in the latter stages of war). The biplane you might be thinking of could be the Swordfish, however as that is carrier-born, it has a quite limited range, mostly naval patrol aircraft like the Sunderland or long range bombers like the Liberators were used. The Tipperary song as well as Siegfried line were indeed popular on U-Boats and widely available as they have been captured in St. Nazaire from a British magazine in 1940. Famously, the U-99 crew wore also British Air Force uniforms on one mission as their own uniforms had been rotten by the damp. Your depiction of filming the bridge in the storm is (almost) correct, the conn tower was built on a moveable platform to mimic the boats rolling, a giant fan was spraying water from the front constantly and they had a giant shoot to splash a ton of water on the bridge. Story about broken ribs is correct. The brits had submarines but did barely operate in the Atlantic due to a lac of targets, mostly they were deployed around Norway, the Mediterranean and the Far East. Surface torpedo nighttime attacks were most common until 1942 due to the lack of radar on the allied side, the higher speed of the boat to get in an advantageous position and outrun all escort vessels but destroyers, a better line of sight and, especially in chubby seas, the small silhouette was hard to be spotted. Fun fact about the bolts, the director shot blanks with a small caliber rifle to mimic the bolts coming off, the injury you seen there happened when one ricochet. Greetings from North Donegal

Regarding numerical superiority: It only matters if you can bring them to bear. Finland is such a densely forested area that you can really just focus the forces on main transportation hubs and roads large enough to stop an armoured advance. Ukraine is just open fields and level terrain, which makes maneuvering much easier. In Finland the Russians would be funneled by the terrain much more. Also, we have the largest artillery in Finland and it's quality is much better than what the Russians have, so that also levels the playing field.

The finnish army in continuation war was relatively well equipped for the type of war they had to fight. The mobility consisted largely from horse drawn carriages but this really wasn't a problem since most other armies were horse drawn primarily too. It only became a problem in 1944 due to US sending lots of motor vehicles to USSR. The warfare in the forested terrain were there is little roads or open spaces is not suited for tanks and they become easy pickings for infantry once the supporting elements like enemy infantry is destroyed, as was presented in the film. In continuation war finland was still short of firepower and had to rely on many WW1 or older designs but at least the purchases and equipment capture had alleviated the situation enough so no guns without recoil system had to be pressed in service unlike in Winter War. The ammunition situation had significantly improved from Winter war and I can't stress this enough. The ammo available for finnish army in Continuation War was 8 times greater than in Winter War. It was not at the level of the soviets obviously but for Finland's needs it was enough. This was shown in the summer of 1944 where finnish forces fired 120,000+ rounds in Tali Ihantala alone, 43 percent of the total rounds Finland had at its disposal at the start of Winter War.

11:54 You're right. The sub is much faster on the surface. In addition, at that time, they were much more vulnerable when diving. They couldn't dive for a long time because of a restricted amount of battery power (these boats couldn't run with their diesel engines. They had to use electric motors.) Oxygen was a limited resource as well. Later on, you asked why they needed a cable for the batteries. As far as I understood it, they had to bridge the damaged cells. Great work, thank you!

Petersen's masterpiece. Premiered 1981, memories of World War 2, which we Germans started, was still alive for some people. At an international film festival the audience clapped at the beginning, when they showed that 30.000 german seamen died. But this audience got quieter and quieter and at the scene where the boat starts rising to the surface they cheered, but this time for the german crew. At the end of the movie there were standing ovations. Wolfgang Petersen manged to show that nothing about war is heroic, in fact he showed the brutality and futility.

A typical WWII Royal Navy destroyer had about 30 depth charges on board, and these were dropped in patterns. A patern of three, one behind and one to each side, means a maximum of ten attack runs. Remember these destroyers have probably had previous run ins with U-Boats, and could in all likelyhood run across more. Attacks were more about driving off U-Boats rather than sinking them. Few submerged U-Boats could outrun a merchant ship, so the destroyers would force the sub away from the convoy and then catch up with the convoy. So once contact was broken there was no need to continue the attack.
@davebeattie9573Ай бұрын
At about 14:40 in response to the "sweaty feet and hair grease remark you refer to a tin can with 180 to 200 men. The U-Boat in question is supposed to be a Type VII C, and these had a crew of between 44 and 52, so far below the 180 200 mark. The only time that I am aware of, of a U-Boat even getting close to that number was U-156. After sinking a british flagged, armed troopship, a converted civilian liner on 12 September 1942 off the west coast of Africa. U-156 was a larger boat, a Type IX C, and these had a crew complement of 48 to 56. After sinking the liner the boat's commander Werner Hartenstein took the unprecedented action to attempt to rescue the severla hundred men, women and children found in the water. He crammed close to 200 survivors on his boat, both above and below deck, and took several life boats under tow. BdU (Befehlshaber der U-Boote), or supreme command of all U-Boat forces sent 2 additional German and 1 Italian Subs to assist in rescue operations. 3 Vichy French surface assets were also sent to assist. Hartenstein further send a message in the clear (not in code) and in English requesting assistance in the rescue of the shipwrecked survivors. Hartenstein then took another step, which was to have a red cross painted on a sheet and have that prominantly displayed on his boat. After linking up with the other subs the entire group set out for the west coast of Africa, and the Vichy French ship that were inbound. During the night the boats became seperated, and were force to continue on alone. Shortly before midday on the 16 September 1941 U-156 was encountered by a B-24 bomber. Hartenstein and others, including an RAF officer signalled the bomber informing them of the situation. The crew of the B-24 contacted their base for instructions and relayed what they had seen, including the red cross. They were ordered to sink the sub, which they tried to do. Hartenstein was forced to submerge his boat to survive, allowing the attacking plane to make 4 attack runs. This slow dive, allowed those on the deck to get clear and not be dragged under. On the fourth attack run the bomber finally managed to get their bombs to release, detonating among the towed lifeboats, killing many of the survivors. The following day the same aircraft with the same crew attacked U-506 another of the U-Boats involved in the rescue effort. This time it took them two attack runs before their bombs would release. U-506 had about 150 survivors on board, including women and children. Like U-156 U-506 dived to escape the attacks. Under the articles covering the rules of armed conflicts, ships, including submarines, which are engaged in rescue operation, are exempt from attack. Under the articles covering the rules of armed conflicts, personel, vehicles, or structures displaying a protected symbol, such as a red cross, are exempt from attack. Ordering such an attack, or carrying out such an attack are war crimes. Following the attack on his subs, during rescue operations, Karl Dönitz, head of the U-Boat forces issued an order expressly forbid any rescue attempts in the future. That order was used at Dönitz, war crimes trial. However this also allowed the full events of the reason behind the order and served as a major embarrassment to the allies, and in particualr the Americans, who had been caught committing war crimes. The ship was the RMS Laconia. The incident became know as the Laconia Incident. Dönitz order became known as the Laconia order. No US personel ever faced war crimes trials for their actions related to the Laconia Incident.

Holy hell! Did you record your audio with a microwave? I had a jumpscare moment when my headphones exploded from your voice! I see you have upgraded your equipment lately, but FFS this was horrible sound quality. Have a nice weekend sir Cheers 🍻
It was nothing to do with equipment but rather KZread LUFs settings.
"Do we have minefields?" Just that you now...a few years ago those mines were forbidden("Ottawa fuck-up"). Fair enough, would've been that the driving forces, *mainly* UK and Netherlands, been given some, _any fucking_, ideas how to replace those things. We (here) know that the President at the time (Tarja Halonen) her political ambitions, but trust me man, we know how to lay a mine field.
They were not a threat from russia. But are now when Finland joined the North Atlantic Terr0rist 0rganization. NATO is and has never been for piece. Look example IRAQ were 500.000 children died for what? US foreign minister was asked in the tv-program 60 minutes if that was it worth. She said YES
You should totally check out the 2007 movie "Tali-Ihantala 1944." It tells the story of a battle by the same name which was fought in the defensive phase of the Continuation war. The largest war in Nordic history.
Answer to you guestion about tmepeture is that it was couldest winter in years. Minus 40 celsius and even coulder some placeis of the area.
I didn't get to know my grandfathers since they died in war.
Finland had nothing.
This is story about writer who live that war and it`s his story. And it all true.
All of this is reality.
Petersen's masterpiece. Premiered 1981, memories of World War 2, which we Germans started, was still alive for some people. At an international film festival the audience clapped at the beginning, when they showed that 30.000 german seamen died. But this audience got quieter and quieter and at the scene where the boat starts rising to the surface they cheered, but this time for the german crew. At the end of the movie there were standing ovations. Wolfgang Petersen manged to show that nothing about war is heroic, in fact he showed the brutality and futility.

Mannerheim was Finnish. His native language was Swedish. There's a minority of Swedish-speaking people in Finland. They anyway were and are Finnish. Mannerheim was an aristocrat who despised nazis, but was forced to co-operate during the continuation war for the Finnish cause.
if russia win why there is still finland?
Britain did have submarines during WW2, however unlike Germany the majority of Britains fleet were surface vessels however british submarines did play significant role during the war one Royal navy submarine even sank a U boat underwater, after the Royal navy sunk the Bismarck Germanys surface fleet didn’t play much of a role during the war.
You sure did oblitirate my ears with your mic
Grandpa was stationed in Lappland as a "Gebirgsjäger" during the Continuation War and the Lappland War. He served under General Dietl.
Just read about 50 comments . Now i gotta see this.
Okei.
A typical WWII Royal Navy destroyer had about 30 depth charges on board, and these were dropped in patterns. A patern of three, one behind and one to each side, means a maximum of ten attack runs. Remember these destroyers have probably had previous run ins with U-Boats, and could in all likelyhood run across more. Attacks were more about driving off U-Boats rather than sinking them. Few submerged U-Boats could outrun a merchant ship, so the destroyers would force the sub away from the convoy and then catch up with the convoy. So once contact was broken there was no need to continue the attack.
At about 14:40 in response to the "sweaty feet and hair grease remark you refer to a tin can with 180 to 200 men. The U-Boat in question is supposed to be a Type VII C, and these had a crew of between 44 and 52, so far below the 180 200 mark. The only time that I am aware of, of a U-Boat even getting close to that number was U-156. After sinking a british flagged, armed troopship, a converted civilian liner on 12 September 1942 off the west coast of Africa. U-156 was a larger boat, a Type IX C, and these had a crew complement of 48 to 56. After sinking the liner the boat's commander Werner Hartenstein took the unprecedented action to attempt to rescue the severla hundred men, women and children found in the water. He crammed close to 200 survivors on his boat, both above and below deck, and took several life boats under tow. BdU (Befehlshaber der U-Boote), or supreme command of all U-Boat forces sent 2 additional German and 1 Italian Subs to assist in rescue operations. 3 Vichy French surface assets were also sent to assist. Hartenstein further send a message in the clear (not in code) and in English requesting assistance in the rescue of the shipwrecked survivors. Hartenstein then took another step, which was to have a red cross painted on a sheet and have that prominantly displayed on his boat. After linking up with the other subs the entire group set out for the west coast of Africa, and the Vichy French ship that were inbound. During the night the boats became seperated, and were force to continue on alone. Shortly before midday on the 16 September 1941 U-156 was encountered by a B-24 bomber. Hartenstein and others, including an RAF officer signalled the bomber informing them of the situation. The crew of the B-24 contacted their base for instructions and relayed what they had seen, including the red cross. They were ordered to sink the sub, which they tried to do. Hartenstein was forced to submerge his boat to survive, allowing the attacking plane to make 4 attack runs. This slow dive, allowed those on the deck to get clear and not be dragged under. On the fourth attack run the bomber finally managed to get their bombs to release, detonating among the towed lifeboats, killing many of the survivors. The following day the same aircraft with the same crew attacked U-506 another of the U-Boats involved in the rescue effort. This time it took them two attack runs before their bombs would release. U-506 had about 150 survivors on board, including women and children. Like U-156 U-506 dived to escape the attacks. Under the articles covering the rules of armed conflicts, ships, including submarines, which are engaged in rescue operation, are exempt from attack. Under the articles covering the rules of armed conflicts, personel, vehicles, or structures displaying a protected symbol, such as a red cross, are exempt from attack. Ordering such an attack, or carrying out such an attack are war crimes. Following the attack on his subs, during rescue operations, Karl Dönitz, head of the U-Boat forces issued an order expressly forbid any rescue attempts in the future. That order was used at Dönitz, war crimes trial. However this also allowed the full events of the reason behind the order and served as a major embarrassment to the allies, and in particualr the Americans, who had been caught committing war crimes. The ship was the RMS Laconia. The incident became know as the Laconia Incident. Dönitz order became known as the Laconia order. No US personel ever faced war crimes trials for their actions related to the Laconia Incident.
If you have no idea about what you are watching, why youvdo reaction vids? Sorry...
Ah do you're the type of fool that wants people to react too crap that they've already researched and then fake the reaction? Really? It's called a body bloody reaction video not a knowledge test or documentary video. But you'd have to be intelligent to work that out!!!!

By the way, my grandparents called off their wedding 1939 before the Winter War because my granddad stated, "we're all going to die, so I don't want to leave you as a widow." Well, 2 months later he said, "I think we're doing OK, so let's get married." So, my dad and I are here today.
No exceptions, because there was no draft mandate, per se. We fought for our existence as human beings. So... you go back to war if you in any way can. There is a word for it most all people on this planet cannot understand and that is ... SISU!
