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.
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 ^^
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.
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.
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!
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.
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.
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.
@@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. But most of them were just regular soldiers, trying to do what they thought was right, what everybody around them told them was the right thing to do and what they had been told was the right thing to do since they attended grade school. Fight for your country. And that's what most of them did. 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.

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?

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
@@maxturnbull5628 in that cold water? I'm sure there's a few more bones still in there. Just wait till the oil tanks breach and the whole fjord gets that dreaded dirty ring around the tub.
@@notyou6950 exactly the same thing happened in the titanic ( ua-cam.com/video/adfA6VklSyo/v-deo.html ) , all the wood and natural elements get eaten away and the bones actually dissolve. and i believe they actually started pumping put oil in 1994 Source: i live here and i've been down on the wreck with my father as part of a research project
Fuck of. The nazis were oppresors who killed norwegians and took our freedom away. The nazis wanted Norway for the strategic location and no true norwegian wanted them.

Damn fascinating
how does blucher lay on the sea floor? is it upside down?
Yes :)
Sehr gute Aufnahmen.Man könnte denken,die Blücher ist erst vor ca.20 Jahren gesunken.
A real scene of complete carnage.
I hope for your sake that you used a robot. This looks like one very, very dangerous wreck to dive on!
No fun with a robot 🤣. Yes a dangerous wreck but again no fun without 😊
@@SnekkerAnders I admire your courage. I could never have done it.

Et fantastisk dykk Anders :) Utrolig flott video. Hvor erfaren mener du man bør være for å dykke ned til Blucher?
Det var em robot, jeg tor det er for kaldt dere nede for en dykker
Er det ikke ulovlig nå?
Du merker selv når du er mer en nok erfaring. Trygghet, kapasitet i hodet etter masse trening 😊

No
wow

Very dramatic dive. One of the best non-rov's I've ever seen.
thank you . it was a very peaceful dive hehe :)

@@norwegiantroll2480 I do belive his name is Anders

Those boots likely still have Human remains in them. Amazing dive but I would have felt pretty guilty being there after seeing that
3:32 Many bodies here.
At 3:30 There are clothes and a pair of shoes visible...No bones but for sure these were some bodies.
8:20 I assume that a German soldier died right there and all the biologic materiel has been eaten by the bottom creatures.
12:24 Just get the rifle instead and renovate it.
it's a war grave you can't take anything from that ship
You can’t by law loot a war grave even though it’s sadly done all the time
Where did they keep the perviten on the ship me and my girl are gonna dive it eventually
🤣🤣🤣🤣
There are easier and cheaper ways to obtain meth 😅
