My Dad was in the Naval Armed Guard. He made 11 trips to French North Africa, Sicily, Salerno and Naples during `43 AND `44. Probably knew Casablanca better than Bogie ever did...My older brother recently spent years obtaining the ships logs, for every day and location of his service. One of the coolest entries was when they were in an Italian Port and the gun crews had to stay up all night with lanterns and M-1`s to thwart an expected attack by Italian Frog men...
Excellent job, nice detailing. During 1942-1945 there were several and some times successful attacks at Gibraltar harbour. The Italian tenth Submarine Flotilla and the Italian Submarine Sciré, commanded by Junio Valerio Borghese, also took part in the various operations. Italian frogmen set up a base in the Italian cargo ship Olterra which was berthed in Algeciras on the opposite side of the bay of Gibraltar. The frogmen and there chariots as these Maiale where also known used to exit the Oltera via an underwater hatch in the bows of the ship. As the Spanish authorities at the time did not approve of such operations. These Italian frogmen would then attach Limpet mines to the underwater hulls of ships ,move away and BOOM sink ships. Buster Crabb was at Gibraltar doing under water inspections of ships and removing the Limpet mines as and when they located them. Brave guys on both sides. A similar operation was being entertained in 1982 during the Falkland's war . Argentinean frog men wanted to sink ships in the harbour entrances to deny the Royal navy from using Gibraltar as a Naval Base. No action was ever carried out.
I just seen this browsing for a German type vii and thought who’d build this.. then I come to YT looking for VII builds and there it was.. 2 guys riding a torpedo on your channel.. and the last vid with the underwater explosion. Marvelous!!
Mr. Ebroin, I watched the "sub's demise" video, and now...I KNEW IT...I'm binge watching some of the others!! Is it a compliment to say your vids are addictive?? I'd never heard of torpedo RIDERS, so now I have a new topic to research and learn about! Excellent work! Thanks for sharing!
What a lovely wife you have, asking (telling) you to buy a model, I still have to buy one and when I bring it out I have to say, oh this? I've had it ages 😂
There is a good DVD movie made about these chariots . It's called "The Silent Enemy" , it's the true story of a man in the Royal Navy by the name of Lieutenant Crabbe . Lt . Crabbe commanded an under water unit of British frog men to rid the Royal Navy dock yards of Italian underwater Chariots during WW11 . The DVD is available from Amazon Canada .
I bet he will create a "Tirpitz explosion" diorama... I love this man, painstakingly creates a ship, then painstakingly destroys it with LED and cotton bases smoke...
my grandpa told me they had to cycle to propel the Maiale and they didn't have mask nor air tanks, they just had to hold their breath for a few minutes. Maybe it's because is 100 years old but that sounds way more badass
I know this model doesnt have any of these but i have a question about products you used in other videos, what do you use for wire riggings on the bigger ships? I cant find any decent riggings
Tip of torpedo detaches. And is then secured to boats hull on a timer and they would drive the torpedo away. In reality this would often result in a suicide mission though
Once they sneaked up under an enemy ship, they dismounted the charge, secured it under the hull, set the timer and swam as fast as they could out to where an Italian submarine would be waiting to pick them up. However on certain occasions they did turn into suicide attack, for example when Teseo Tesei intentionally blew himself up in an effort to open a path for his comrades to penetrate inside Malta's harbour....
This is begging to be in a diorama! Imagine an Epoxy Resin scene with fish, seabed with war debris, maybe parts of a downed Spitfire like a wing or tail section?
Yes, Italian Navy used these very sucessfully during World war 2. But this was just a torpedo shaped transport vehicle, not a real torpedo. Operators carried explosives which they attached to the target ships hull. Italy used these special forces in both world wars, probably the biggest succes was to sink the Viribus Unitis in WW1, then in WW2 heavily damaging 2 British battleship in Alexandria.

Excellent job, nice detailing.

I'm speechless, it's just amazing skill & everything in one masterpiece art 🙌🙌🙌🙌
Another fantastic build. Your wife is very smart!
What a lovely wife you have, asking (telling) you to buy a model, I still have to buy one and when I bring it out I have to say, oh this? I've had it ages 😂
Lol, my wife never falls for that old trick
That's exactly the same thought I had when I read it. 😁
This is such a fun looking kit, great job!
Amazing work. Such a small piece but with tons of details and layers.
Most excellent! Now make it a part of a underwater diorama with mines & a ship’s hull?!
It would be awesome
was für eine Hervorragende Modellarbeit. Meinen großen Respekt 👏👏👍
*WOW a very easy build from Ebroin, only OOB ... i can't believe it! It's wonderful!*
I have been eyeing this model for a long time. :-) You did great

Splendid! Great work. Can we expect another Tirpitz video soon?

Great work! As always
Great build!
Would have been nice and underwater diorama maybe for the Italian torpedos
Superbe, merci
What is the music in this video? Love your work!!
beautiful job, what did you use for the control wires at the rear?
You should put magnets in it and have them float on a battery magnetic plate.
Really nice!
Great video!
Where is it possible to purchase these finished dioramas? Any tips on where you could get a finished product like this?
I know this model doesnt have any of these but i have a question about products you used in other videos, what do you use for wire riggings on the bigger ships? I cant find any decent riggings
Amazing 👏
WHAT ? they do kamikaze ? or they jump of the last moment ?

Master class !!!
GREAT VIDEO AND GREAT BULID THE SILENT ENEMY 1958 MOVIE COVER THIS SUBJECT. BE SAFE AND GOD BLESS.
Was this a suicide mission type thing or would they bail when launching it at a target?

yes more naval miniatures
Amazing like always!
What kind of glue does he use at first?
Good done! Looks very well! ;)
Wait, you're telling me they had guys riding torpedoes? I don't know if I believe that one.
Dose any one know the first sound track I’ve been looking for the name of it
Very nice! 🌞🌞🌞🌞
Very cool 😎

Someone else reading the book The italian?
Great job! Some traces of streaks stand out too much, but these are trifles. Overall, it turned out great!
This is begging to be in a diorama! Imagine an Epoxy Resin scene with fish, seabed with war debris, maybe parts of a downed Spitfire like a wing or tail section?
OK wait…. Torpedo riding was a thing??
THE SILRNT ENEMY WITH LAURENCE HARVEY 1958,GOOD MOVIE COVER THE SUBJECT. GOD BLESS
