The number of artefact on board is stunning , normally the wrecks are looted, even the war ones and there is not much left. The absence of light and the coldness of the water even preserved the textiles, it's just crazy. I saw the turtleneck of a sweater, shoes, a leather boot and all these everyday objects.. Cool video ^^
In norway its illegal to loot this wreck, and anybody who does will be punished severely. They wont even take it out of the water thats how much they want to preserve its current state😅
Best video of Blucher available. It is so incredibly dark down there. It is sad to see the pairs of boots strewn about, probably where bodies once lay. It is shocking to see the state of the ship. AMAZING footage, thank you Snekker. I got excited when I saw the open hatch, and was like how cool would it be to go inside, and then you flew right through it!
@@SnekkerAnders I was looking at old photo-albums of my grandfather & had the idea of checking for the Blücher ship wreck on UA-cam. Then I found this video, which is amazing! My grandpa was actuallly one of the head cooks on the Blücher. He could be saved, of course (..otherwise I could not write this ; ). I like to think, that he may have used the pots & the kettle, too, which can be seen in your video at 10:56. It is astonishing, how well preserved this ship wreck is! RIP to all the marine soldiers, who died there (but as you can see, there are only the boots, belts and heavy woollen jackets left). If you want some old black & white photos (upper & lower deck, artillery, captain, crew, Indienstsstellung, Memorial etc.), please let me know : ). Thanks a lot for this video!
Today Blucher is a wargrave, and entry is forbidden. But its faboulus to watch . Thanks for sharing this with us. I am a Norwegian, and visited the fort that sunk the ship. A friend of mine was fort comander at the site. Eaven my son wrote a school paper about Blucher, så it kind of live in my bloodstream.
What an astonishing video! You seem to be a real daredevil, going in there. Still so much to see. It is literally breath-taking "following you" into the "belly of the beast". Many thanks.
Please indicate some details about the dive. The photography was excellent and the personal effects that were strewn about and the mangled iron indicate that there was intense drama occurring at the time that the vessel sank.
Photography was excellent, you're right William. Quite a bit of history with this vessel, sunk at the entrance to Oslofjord in April 1940 as it - and other ships - sailed up the harbor in complete darkness at the start of the German occupation. Spotted by a patrol, the Norwegians at the Oscarsborg Fortress were ready and hit the Blucher with very large guns and two torpedoes. A huge fire thereafter basically sank the ship the the next day. The vessel was packed with supplies, ammo, and even seaplanes. Look for the 2016 Norwegian film "The King's Choice" for an excellent recreation of that event/period.
Very impressed with your dive, the wreck lies at 210 feet/64 meters, that's very deep and pretty technical dive. Bottom time couldn't have been very long.
@@SnekkerAnders Very impressed, I am in the US and used to dive many years ago, never that deep. And I knew about the history of that wreck. Also I am Norwegian American and I have lots of Norwegian friends who own Ducati's. I do too. Old one's. Anyway, very impressive dive, I know how dangerous that really is. Cheers Tom Rolland
@@SnekkerAnders My hat is off to you. I am 65 now and I don't think I would have done that dive in my youth. I can't even imagine how cold you must have been once you made the surface again, 5 hours in a dry suit seems to me to be a really long time. If you google Ducati belt buckles you can see my hobbies. Again very impressive dive. Tom Rolland
It is a fascinating movie. But - and as I am informed - the ship is laying upside down and it would be nice to be shown where we are on the different locations perhaps from a model.
Man you’ve got a lot of guts going though that twisted metal maze. Hope you’re playing out a return line to get back out. The rebreather is great not having to listen to all the scuba bubbles.
That's some very beautifull anemones. I didn't know we had such large and beautiful species here. I'm sitting in the comfort of my chair staring at a computer screen, and yet I feel the sensation of discomfort and fright looking at someone else deep dive and darkness. How weird is that?
@@danielhagstadius4171 Most of them were Wehrmacht, not fullblown Hitler heiling SS soldiers. Sure some of them were wrapped up in the Nazi propaganda and some of them probably harboured anti semitism due to indoctrination.

As someone who's grandfather fought with the Norwegian resistance against Nazi Germany during WW2 and who's served compulsory military service in Norway, that's a sentiment I can easily understand.

I know this video is six years old so have to wonder how much deterioration on the ship as happened. Not sure if those torn clothing have bones but being how many sailors died, it’s possible.
The grave for hundreds of men. I feel sad for them even though they were the enemy. The exception is the Gestapo who were on board to oversee the occupation of Norway and who were bound for Oslo.
Bør være forsiktig når du drar ned dit. Bestefaren min var dykkerleder for en del år tilbake der. 1 mann mistet livet ettersom han fikk problemer med hjertet
So, when are we gonna clean this mess up? Don't tell me this wreck is good for the environment. All those dead would like a dry grave for a change, too.
theres no dead left, because of natural processes of decompositon their bodies have rotted away and the only biological things durable enough to survive was tanned leather and some wood (hence the stock on the 98) those boots are all that is left of the crew and to move them would be to intentionally disturb a war grave
