Thanks for another chapter of Iron Coffins. Yes, the type XXII was a marvelous advancement in Submarines. Luckily for us, the Germans didn't get them a couple of years earlier.
To bad our captain didn’t get a Type 21 boat, it would have been great to hear first hand how this boat operated compared to his old boat ! Anxious to hear about his next deployment! See you then ⚓️⚓️⚓️⚓️
Anyone else noticed endless numbers of those ww2 channels where ai voice reads these text? I mean this is a real channel but there are channels in all genress where ai voice reads some text and sometimes I wonder whether the text it self is ai gen.
@@TrenchDiaries Don't forget to mention Trench Diaries that we twisted your ear until you agreed to try reading your script yourself! 😢 We wouldn't have hung around so long or had so much fun if we had just been listening to a AI voice. 😂 Imagine listening to an Aussie AI voice.

@@markfryer9880 This channel would not exist with an AI voice, in my view anyhow. We are all here as fans of the material presented, but also/more so of Trench, the presenter. Among many screwball careers, I more than dabbled in professional radio, both as a program director and as an air personality. The first time I heard him, Trench blew my ears out of the water. Note his unique phrasing, his compelling vocal tone and a very uncommon way of modulation in sentences to include how he ends many of them, leaving my ears (at least) hungry for the next one. Yup, Trench has "THE VOICE". A quite remarkable and uncommon gift, actually.👏👏👏👏👏😎
@@TrenchDiaries Even the American Gato Class had much more room and air conditioning! Those poor Type VII were only small steps forward from the U-Boats of WWI.
Oh boy...25 dollars! This is by far the biggest donation yet, and I am at a loss for words at you extreme generosity. Thank you so very much, I hope the content will continue to keep you entertained!
@@TrenchDiaries I hope everyone chips in ! You must put in a lot of time and I wanted to say “ THANKS”. I listen to this every night as I fall asleep so I have to repeat many episodes. lol that is not to say it’s boring, quite the contrary.

Didn't the type XXI influence Soviet post war boats? I think the Golf was a fairly close copy. The type XX "Walther" boats arrived at this time with a revolutionary propulsion system too. Fortunate for the allies they didn't appear earlier or the war would have dragged on much longer!
Of all the ‘wonder weapons’ I have always felt only the XXI was a real game changer - if that beast had been available in numbers in say 43 it could have been a very difficult time in the Atlantic. The V2 was horrible but had limitations - the Me 262 was dangerous but manageable - but the XXI would have been a very difficult beast to handle with then current technology! Ultimately air power would still I figure have prevailed but losses would have been much higher in shipping.
Most of the so called wonder weapons were smoke and mirrors. The XXI weren't, they were extremely advanced and capable. There are reports of these boats literally running circles around DDs and doing mock attacks without notice.
Our guy is now the grizzly old veteran now!! What agony, you know that this new boat is paramount to your crew’s survival, but you can only “Soldier “ on with Old equipment!! Man fighting on till the end!! On another note 🗒️ it must’ve been wonderful for the spirits to see his old Commander Ziggy!! Glad they both survived the war!! We all do it to keep sanity, we think only of the machine of the opponent and not the crew in that “ Tank” Airplane, or submarine!! Cheers 🥂 and see you with my favorite character!! Spitfire on my tail!!
I've said it before and I reiterate . trench diaries making Sunday great again.
Thank you for the very kind words my friend!
Ahhh... Another good chapter of U-Boat history. Thanks!!!
Enjoy, sir!
Such a fine narration.
Thank you so much!
Doubt I could hide my very bitter resentment as well as Capitan Herbert on the tour of the new boat. Thanks again T.D.👍
He is an officer through and through, can't show weakness in front of the men.

Indeed! An incredible machine for sure!

I'd have liked that, too! But he has to deal with the trusty Type VII again. Well see what happens 😎
He must have been in awe of the type 21.
Type XXI was ahead of its age, fortunately arrived too late and and too little numbers.
The XXI was practically a late 20th century conventional design deployed in an early 20th century war. The jump in technology was tremendous.
Fascinating podcast. Tremendous insights into the Kriegsmarine.
Happy you enjoy it so much, my friend!

I actually started with the intention of going AI only, because it is eaiser to produce. But narrating myself is more personal and more fun.
@@TrenchDiariesyou're much, much better than an AI
@@TrenchDiaries the hard work you put in is very much appreciated and enjoyed🙏

Another great episode/ Many thanks!
Thank you for being here!
TY 🙏🙏If the type XXI seemed large, the earlier boat would have appeared tiny to me! The author seems quite fatalistic now.
He is witnessing the collapse in real time. And yes, the Type VIIs are cramped beyond belief.

Type XXI influenced practically every post-war boat on all sides. Especially the Soviet Whiskey and Zulu boats were rather close in design.

That is how war goes, brother. The youngsters become the veterans. See you Tuesday with Spitfire 😎
So much information that is new to me. Thank you so much.
For me too, happy to share!
Another great episode my friend, Siegman had U2507 👍
Thank you Danny! I tried to find pictures of U2507 but wasn't lucky :/
🐬👍
