The title is deceiving. The "story of the biggest maritime disaster" is actually a side story; it's mostly about a bunch of divers having fun. If that's your gig, fine, but I wanted a more in-depth story of the disaster.
Yes... men showering together is not what I had in mind
100%
Yea thanks mate its got nothing to do with the title agreed.. should change this to divers talk about diving with some history
I was disappointed as well. Clickbait titles are just ridiculous.
i love this comment! its not even disrespectful
Legend has it that there is dialogue behind the music.
My thoughts exactly. An inept insensitive amateur production.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
😂😂😂😂
I just grooved out on the super-futuristic music
You'd think the title would reflect what the documentary was about, not just some jumble of unrelated stories which, while interesting on their own, are not what I clicked on expecting to see.
This is happening a lot. there was one of these that supposed to be about the sunderland flying boats operating from Scotland hunting U-Boats in the atlantic. Instead it was about some guy taking his light aircraft on a tour across scotland. Interesting, but not what I was wanting to watch.
This video is a great example of why we need to see the number of downvotes on a video. This is simply awful.
Yeap I didn't finish it was annoying me so much tbh...
totally agree. complete waste of time.
Wasted another hour. Just like the one on the Baltic U-Boat.
All I'm hearing is being told that I've never heard of this. But I never found out what it is I didn't hear of.
The ship wreck itself!!
Exactly my thought.
Yeah, what he said. Usually a documentary filmmaker is the one operating the camera and doing the diving. Here, we're constantly being told what the divers are doing, and what's wrong with the cameras. Oh, and watching people eat, and going to places that are full of things that OTHER people collected and curated. Curious...
Finally! someone that recognises things for what they really are and doesn't forget that Titanic is in fact not the biggest maritime desaster in history nore the most tragic one either .
Its Discuisting that they only talks and writes about the Titanic.
The Gustoff disaster is so sad more than 9000 people died on a single ship.
@@duurnamets9678 what is even more disgusting is that 90% of people who take interest in the titanic only have the titanic as a subject and that only 10% eknowledge the existence of the Gustoff . And the funny part is that they allways claim tha tthe passengers who died in the ocean must suffred the worse death there would be . Jesus if they surffered in a part of the ocean that actually is warmer than the blatic sea imagine those 9000 people who died from exposure in the baltic sea since its concidered artic .
I know of both
Gustloff was used by the German Kriegsmarine and so although I can understand your point of view it is also never to be forgotten that the risks were known within the high command of the German Navy at the time and this was taken into account by Doenitz. And so the Russians torpedoeing of the three ships but especially the W. GUSTLOFF must be seen through the eyes of the civilian victims who were mostly of German origin.
Adding to this it must also never be forgotten that it was the Kriegsmarine who started the complete destruction of civilian ships which were transporting all of the goods to Britain from the U. S..
Who ever talks about these victims?????
Go back to WWI. Britain broke the rules which the germans followed.
Don't blame the germans without to remember that Britain was asking for it.
@@pesthizid How was enforcing legitimate cruiser rules in 1914 breaking the rules. It wasn't the British who introduced unrestricted submarine warfare in February, 1915, was it?
I loved the enthusiasm of the narrator.
Wow! I've never knew about this! SAD VERY SAD!
better edited than the first part and better historical stories. A fascinating history to be told I hope the story telling and editing get better
Maybe you should try producing a video like this. Doubt you have the talent or the intelligence though.
@@johnmoss6631 yeah you tell him. What would someone who watches videos on UA-cam know about what entertains them. How dare he make observations and offer constructive encouragement. Go get him tiger!
Ummm where is the search for the U-479? I feel like I just watched a vacation film... not very well edited either. TImeline should disavow this like Ethan Hunt.
The post-diving euphoria!
It's the "nitrogen fix!"
It leaves you craving more, even for decades... Thus, for the rest of my life... Craving!
balloons mate sorted
Does nitrogen give you a "high" like an actual buzz.....
And I thought crack was a killer
I thought we were looking for a German U-Boat? I got to see wrecks of other ships, that have nothing to do with the German U-Boat. I got to visit a lot of Countries, and museums. 3 different episodes just to get out there and finally look for the U-Boat. All this build, which has no purpose here, no background of U-Boat, or the Russian Boat. Dull ville.
Very slow doc that I got tired of watching since after 38 out of 55 minutes they never got to the point of the title. I feel like an idiot for spending this much time on it.
@callyharley
I dont know if I can stand the boredom for another hour, almost!
Good evening,
The first time I heard of this wreck, I was devastated. I then heard the Russians went to pasify the wreck and blew the main mid-ships apart to hide the total fatalities. This was reported by a Polish diver in the 70’s and he also said that it was a “NO DIVING ZONE” declared by the C.P.P.P. until it fell in the 80’s. I saw this on one of the tv sitcoms in the 90’s There were three torpedoes on the W.G.
Forever in His service
Ok, nice to see your holidays on UA-cam, and been paid for that!
You know, I can understand having background music during parts of the documentary, but WHY when there is dialog being spoken? Remember, Yanks are watching this too, and we're dealing with the accents, so it would be helpful not to have the spoken words mixed up with background noise.
Yeah I mean com'on! Yanks can barely walk and chew gum at the same time. So please ,have it subbed at least...Oooo wait...They cant read too :/
@@contrerasfrederic6058 Hahaha, yeah we endure their accents and sometimes its heavy going on docos...
Being Australian i second this protest just shut up and film we want ambience like being there. not another episode of world's greatest race.
There is also the sinking of the Lancastria by the Germans during WW2 .
I learned more about German Mullets than I did about the Carl Gustloff!
Nice to watch
thank you!
Love anything about u-boats
apart from going back in time and being sank by one i'll bet
The narrator must've been the cameraman, since we never saw him. Or perhaps he was just a hired studio spokesman. In any case, the u boat was never found.
So what did the Estonia have to do with a U-boat?
@@flashgordon3715 Old records claims,that U-479 was sunk by Estonian, later USSR subarine called Lembit. When u-479 was found they found out that it was sunk by hitting a mine.
I came to watch a u boat be found but instead I see some random men in a sauna
Bad weather, stupid FedEx, defecting captain, and a flooded camera ... These guys sure have some tenacity.
Nothing is perfect. This documentary would be if you would turn the background music a bit low. Except that... Wonderfull
Didn't hear of it... even after looking it up and trying to research it.
I got to 1:19 before I pulled the plug. "Background" music overpowering the narrator.
One would think that these fishermen would use sonar to avoid wrecks.
Would be VERY expensive
@@greyscarclawcloud863 More expensive than running into a wreck? I highly doubt it.
WTF There is about 30 seconds of underwater footage. NOT WORTH WATCHING
27 minutes highlight of the video so far mullets.
Just for your information the W. GUSTLOFF was dived by Polish divers and enthusiasts back in the seventies and things were removed!
if i hadnt had pizza i would not have watched as much as i did ..boring and never really get to the sub before i had to put down my pizza and find somthing
There's too much chatting and not enough action. When divers went down, we got no idea what the interiors looked like, preservation etc. Disappointing.
So Timeline basically funded some vacation film for a handful of people. This must have been incredibly irritating to the financiers lol.
Obviously the wrong title for this film
If I didn't know what a German submarine was I would have been fooled by the thumbnail. If the story is about a sub don't show a cruise ship please.
Good video, would be much better with just commentary and no music!!!
I visited U-505 in Chicago
Ive just spent 55 minutes watching this and i have no idea what it was about.
No wonder the captain of that ship left after a couple of days.
well that's an hour I will never get back! Really wish I checked the comments first!
I can appreciate the time the effort and the expense to make this documentary but it's rather slow and boring I actually fell asleep. I would have rather seen more underwater footage than you guys preparing to do the dive. I'm going to fast forward to even see if there is any diving at all today and start from there.Just saying. Cheers
One of the relics removed was one of the square large ceiling lamps. It now acts as a side small table in a Polish home.
Like, if the other boats sunk, it seems like it's not a particularly good idea to go out to sea in that same area. If I find myself at sea, it will be because the plane has crashed.
If the other boats _sank_. Past tense,
Hunt for U-479???????? SSDD Same $hit Different Day! If you watched part 1 you know what I am Saying, a big pile of steaming Dog $hit........
OH NO their cameras were ruined... Hate it for them.. Great documentary anyway. Thanks for posting
A documentary on how NOT to make a documetary. Dont expect to see even a glimpse or know what happened to the U-479 in that part either. Save your time!
Have to agree. Some of this is interesting, some is pertinent, most is just time wasting.
What does a U-boat have to do with sinking of Estonia?
I think there's three parts to this documentary. This is part one or two.
Why not try putting the camera in a big bowl of rice? It worked for all the people I knew who dropped their early smartphones in the toilet (I didn't have one of those for another ten years but I knew of people who had dropped even earlier electronics in some water unintentionally so I gave the suggestion).
Lusitania got covered in nets, too.
SO u479 could launch v2 rockets? Sweet.
Generalplan Ost is also a neglected chapter of history. Re. the casualties: on the Steuben, the vast majority were military, not civilians: 800 civilians vs. 4,200 to 5,200 military. Should it not have been sunk? That's an easy judgement to make at this distance.
Not the usual high quality production expected from timeline, there was very little historical content. The title is click baity and overall I was very disappointed
What a load of bunk...starting with the tag line.
And how a put the German soldiers on board the Gustloff?The trained up Sailors for the newest fleet of Germany latest U-Boats?
OMG!!! Terrible loss of life!! Just OMG!!
It's funny how UA-cam historians have better documentaries than these made for TV crapola. Just missing the 5 minute recap after commercials, going over the last 5 minutes of actual substance, and the rest being TV fluff to extend out the episode for the hour. Stopped having cable 6 years ago, never once have I ever said, gee, I miss having cable.
First time hearing about it fr me
Civilians have payed the biggest price for humanities propensity for wars throughout history.
I'm sure he does a killer Michael Caine impression.
Yes, yes, yes -- this was the biggest but the Titanic gets all the attention because the Gustloff was "only carrying Germans".
I mean... 😏
@@poutinedream5066 Germany, the only country on earth not allowed to lose a war.
Me too, Never Knew! Massive lost
So the title says “the biggest maritime disaster in history”. Really?
The Wilhelm Gustloff is the deadliest shipwreck in history, yes. By a lot.
Dreadful!!! Slow, boring clickbait. SHAME ON YOU. You have tarnished timeline. Never again!!
Lol, the way you guys filmed this. FFS. These shots are so over the top, and the music and audio effects, so over the top.
Understood , however do you maybe think it’s over the top , perhaps? Please, do not be shy , share your illustrations with us?
I was thinking the same thing.
@@jesterflight8593 I think you’re being over the top. Another guy who has been over the top in the past! Sylvester Stallone.
@@Groovy_Bruce
He should have clearly worked pumping fuel at a filling station, rather than have accomplished accolades an an accomplished actor, executive producer, executive director multi-Billionaire. For all intensive purposes, he truly is “over the top”, and should be unclothed, shackled with fuzzy pink cuffs, and severely whipped with a wet noodle. “When you’re right, you’re right”.
@@jesterflight8593 And I am just saying he should have won an academy award for best actor for starring in the greatest film of all time. Over the top. That movie has it all.
U - 479, where is the reference
Unfortunately these poor people were not first class deaths like British or Americans. That´s why this is a almost unknown tragedy.
Music too loud.
Anyone here after they just found this ship!?
Ive said it a thousand times and I will keep saying it, the music completely spoilt this video, it a totally unnecessary noise that serves no purpose at all
Passenger ship and the sink of the ship is definitely genocide omg
As previously mentioned, this is more of a jumbled collection of the dive group’s travels, and not any kind of coherent documentary. The vast majority of the footage has nothing to do with the Wilhelm Gustloff shipwreck mentioned in the title. It’s all a bit confusing. That being said, some of the Baltic Sea footage (both above and below water) is enjoyable. It sort of works as a disjointed travelogue, but certainly not as a documentary.
Don’t all good stories involve pirates? 😉
This video is about everything but U-479...don't waste your time...
What the heck? They babble a lot. No submarine.....
Yup. NOT about the Gustloff sinking story at all! Remember falling for it previously now. 5ys and noone bothers to take the time to correct the title. Click Bait? I think it's more indicative of what they think of the viewer or rather do not.
This 'film' isn't well organized. It meanders like their journey. No organisation.
The info says the sub is Russian but U-boats are German in origin.
sorry to burst your bubble but the first working prototype was built in the 17th century by a Dutch inventor employed by Britain. The Americans used a submarine in their Revolutionary war against Britain also.
Technically, it was correct to call it a U-boat. Since the U stood for underwater, then it's right (although the Germans came up with the description). It wasn't until they became nuclear powered that they were true submarines.
Background music so distracting & annoying I could only watch for 10 minutes. Whose idiot idea was the music for???
Such a loud and dreadful music!!!!!! Why??????
Gopro .
Ridiculous overproduction. The narration is fighting the completely unnecessary and overdramatic background music. Also why the smartarse special effects ? Turned off after 4 minutes.
MY MOTHER AND GRANDPARENTS WERE ESCAPING THE RUDSSIANS LEAVING EAST PRUSSIA IN WW2 AND ALMOST WENT ON THIS SHIP, THEY WENT ON ANOTHER SHIP TO HAMBURG AND ESCAPED THE RUSSIANS, AND NO I AM ALIVE!!!
Five or six thousand Nazis lost running from their invasion was a disaster? 9 mil. Children died on the Russian front! 🙏
There is a much much better documentary about this on you tube. Forget the name but look for it under Goya sea of death. A flooded camera case is amateurs mistake.
Why wouldn't trust him with that boat and we can't come through that little a storm
12
For sure, they're from East Germany, they both have mullets!
And talks loudly! Or English with strong interest in German history!
Oh, No!!!! They're Finnish, that's why!
The trouble with amateur podcasts is that they are inaccurate and deal more with the idiots making the program and have little to do with the actual events. Most of the content is copied or plagiarised and the music used to dramatize events is too overwhelming. Sadly the mainstream documentaries like NOVA, HORIZON and History are fewer and farther between. Lastly, acts of war are not considered disasters. The comments below say it all. I would advise you skip this one all together. Lastly, who makes a documentary without cameras?
The guy in the shades sounded, looked like a drug dealer being told to repeat what he,s being told about a subject he has no idea about..still luv anything to do with U Boats. but missed the subject completely ..that's an hour of ma,h Life I wont get back..
Terrible documentary.
One guy even tries to hype it up more by saying "Hundreds of Thousands" of people were on the ship, before changing to up to 10k.
For a lot of reasons, this production just wasn't well done.
Especially for the reasons i touched on but yes there's many more. At least that bits funny when you taint it as i have lol
The man says he only felt a presence on the Titanic, like something bad happened there. But not here. Well, here were just some nazies.
This is such a weird 'doc'.
Russia's proudest moment?
Lmfao thats the American post system for ya
It was plain mass murder.... latter thar same rus sub sunk a hospital ship
🤢🤢🤮🤮
Too much nonsense to watch. This series was so poorly made. It should have been condensed to one video. Way too much boring nonsense. Unlike any other underwater ship wreck video I've ever seen.
Instead of looking for u479......he needs to be looking for a new barber.
Sorry diver: not the best, coolest wreck for the shipwreck's victims, now is it?
