This is a very cleverly made vid which is deceptively simple but actually completely compelling. It just goes to show what you can do with a great script and some really effective graphics ❤🎉
Its amazing how long the Brittish managed to hold her in port, from sep 43 to the end of the war, those German sailors culd serve almost 2 years stuck deep in a fjord some sailors might have been replacements getting to the ship by train and never even got to set sails more than a few towed km.
Amazing, indeed. Funnily enough, though, maybe Tirpitz achieved more as a ‘Fleet in Being’ in those fjords than she might have as a ship at sea. She was a huge and resource-consuming ‘distraction’ for the RN and the RAF all that time😂
@hisdadjames4876 Fortunately Germant didn't really have anything to take advantage of the distraction. Fleet in being is kind of redundant if it doesn't kead to something.
@@DoddyIshamel well she kind of did. the disaster of pq17 was due to a british admiral paniking about tirpitz. even though the allies had uss washington and king george v which could have dealt with tirpitz and more
Exactly, and on a social media network chock full of bullshit this and Dr Mark Felton give us historical information that's both reputable and useful. Hopefully both channels will be able to continue their work 👍
Currently the mini-sub X-7's bow and partial battery section are on display at Imperial War Museum Duxford, having been pulled out of Tirpitz's former fjord in 1976. The British Sub Aqua Club was attempting to find X-5 at the time, so X-7 came as a surprise. Her stern was never found because the Germans had already raised that section up after the initial attack. X-24 is the only full example of an X-Craft around, and she even has a list of achievements regarding attacks on merchant shipping.
Neat. My dad who was in the Norwegian army saw Tirptiz in the fjord with a hole in the bow. He fought with the Russians in the far north after escaping a prison camp and training in Sweden.
So happy that i wanted to now more about the tripitz today and becaus of that find ur youtube channel. What a video it all looks perfect i love it keep on the good work! I realy love how u also let the schips route's and stuff see its so cool
Interesting that you say Tirpitz was under way during the strikes of Op. Tungsten. I have not heard this before. I have the Admiralty report and it does not mention this. Also, I have information that the approach for the attack was further south. You can find pictures of the Barracudas with Långfjord in the background off their port side. Then they turned left around the mountain called Haalde, and made their final runs in a NE direction. I have interest in this, because V. Rance (second strike leader) was my grandfather, but now, by complete coincidence I give some small help on a PR.IV Spitfire restoration. It was one of eleven loaned to a Russian unit, ORAP 118, to spy on the Tirpitz and other assets up there.
Germany had planed an even bigger class of battleship called the H class although this was cancelled with only 3 ( I think ) of the 400 mm guns built. Excellent well researched presentation,
This was an extremely well researched and put together story of the life and end of Tirpitz. The animations were awesome in my opinion. You've gained another subscriber!
In the graphics, the Corsairs and Hellcats need not have been shown in U.S. Navy markings as they were Royal Navy Fleet Air Arm craft and shown in the appropriate colour scheme.
I understand the significance of taking this ship down. But I look at an a lot like Admiral Halsey chasing down the last Japanese carrier when other things needed done.
The Tirpitz was originally going to be an Atlantic Battleship, But the Port of St Nazair was attacked by some brave Brits to stop that from happening. See this Video for a Fantastic explaination. ua-cam.com/video/07Zd0Oy8JyQ/v-deo.htmlsi=vz-7zwn1NkKXtgqY
My father Claude Rule Calloway was a rear gunner on a TBF on a escort carier Belalow Wood Like to know details He spoke of Spaign Phillapene see I saw his navy cross
I'm sure that the Kriegsmarine still had the battleships 'gneisenau' and 'scharnhorst' after the sinking of the 'bismarck' . Otherwise I really like your content
The British sure had good intelligence on the turpizt, they need exactly when it was repaired and hut it every time the Germans were getting ready to use the ship to sink allied shipping
Throughout history it is always the "woke snowflakes" who fight the wars and its always old people like you who send them off to die. How about you actually speak to a member of the greatest generation instead of spewing uneducated nonsense online
Germany may well have won the war had they just had 3-4 aircraft carriers. Especially in the Mediterranean. Africa was lost largely because of lack of fuel and ammo and supplies the Allies intercepted or destroyed. Those mobile aircraft could have made a huge difference. They could have destroyed allied supplies instead of having their supplies destroyed. Let’s all be glad they didn’t have carriers.
1. It's Hermann Göring we are talking about here. He's going to find some way to screw up the planes(and he did with the whole Graf zeppelin debacle) 2. If Germany went and built these carriers instead of battleships, the royal navy would also respond in kind, defeating any advantage. 3. Even if Africa fell, and even if operation torch didn't happen/failed, it wouldn't have changed anything. D-Day, the soviets, and nuclear weapons would have won the war for the allies.
@@jimjacobs2817 Well… She sank at a very shallow depth, and her hull was sticking up out of the water; they cut holes in the hull and saved the sailors that survived the capsizing. I think they recovered the bodies of the deceased sailors and shipped them to Germany. But as far as the wreck goes, not many people in post-war Norway were particularly sentimental about a sunken warship of the Third Reich.
To all who replied. Thanks for your feedback. It's kind of sad (for me) that there is a kind of disrespect of the dead, but I totally get why the Norwegians (and others) feel that absolute justified contempt toward the Nazis.
Nazi Germanys naval doctrine was flawed out of being overly cautious and out right scared of the British fleet. I still believe they'd of done much much better by finishing their carrier (which was 80 percent finished) and assembling a task force like you saw in allied fleets. Combine all that armor and firepower instead of sending it out piecemeal to be destroyed. If they'd captured the French fleet, it'd have helped them considerably. Just bc they didn't, did not mean their small fleet was worthless, although Hitler seemed to think so.
They would have never captured the French fleet. Even if the British hadn't sunk it, the French would have sunk it themselves, like when the Germans dissolved VIchy France and tried to seize it. And even if the Germans had completed their carrier, they had no planes suitable for naval operations and no chance in hell of dislodging the Royal Navy. The Royal Navy is also why a land invasion of the UK was always impossible
They wasted their time building a surface fleet. One carrier wouldn’t have given them a chance against the allies. They would have faired better if they had built more subs instead of surface ships.
a single carrier would have been of marginal I mean no use. that class would have had an air group (only 12 fighters) slightly larger than a CVL and less than half of an Essex CV.
The Lancaster bombers were from Bomber Command of the Royal Air Force, not the Royal Navy. Aircraft launched from aircraft carriers were from the Royal Navy’s Fleet Air Arm not Bomber Command.
So many men gave their lives to bring material support to Russia. A lot of appreciation wasn't shown. Makes me wonder if we should have let them be on their own.
A pointless effort to destroy a useless enemy asset. Frankly if the Allies had simply not feared Tirpitz as much she would have been far less of a problem.
@@smiley.6534 Sure, if you ignore Hitler’s orders to the surface fleet and the lack of fuel, or the fact she was poorly designed compared to other nations’ equivalents or battleships being no longer viable capital ships for the most part by WWII.
It’s sure a shame the Allies didn’t have access to your massive intellect in the war. The insights of someone living 80 years later with no military training or experience with 1940s technology would be so valuable. Imagine how stupid the 100s of men living in that time who had devoted their lives to learning and perfecting their skills were compared to you. You’re incredible. Why is it that the world doesn’t know your name yet the exploits and bravery of these men is still recognized 80 years later? Dunning Kruger Effect on full display here with strong side of chronological snobbery.
For the love of god, learn when to use the plural of "kilogram" and when not to. You incorrectly used the plural in all or very nearly all instances. It's (eg)- "The Tirpitz was hit by three 750 kilogram bombs" vs "The Tirpitz was hit by three bombs weighing 750 kilograms".
This video is riddled with factually incorrect information and fallacies, and I am less than 5 minutes into the video. Firstly, Tirpitz wasn’t the only remaining Kreigsmarine battleship after Bismarcks destruction, both Scharnhorst and Gneisenau were fully operational and would conduct the Channel Dash back into German waters the following year. Secondly, the Bismarcks were not “Super Battleships” by any means. That is a propaganda term that is factually inaccurate as neither of the Bismarcks possessed superior armor or firepower to the vast majority of their contemporaries, and displaced significantly more due to their poor design and engineering inefficiency of German naval construction derived from both having fallen behind in experience due to the Versailles restrictions on the German navy. Finally, the Deutschlands were NOT “pocket battleships”, that is a inaccurate British media term that in not way characterized the capabilities of the Deutschlands (they are heavily armed heavy cruisers with extremely poor protection and speed, less capable that many treaty cruisers of half the displacement). …..and all of this is after watching 4:40 of the video. Zero attention to detail and a false accounting of the historical facts. Just terrible.
I called Scharnhorst a battleship and received so many comments about it being a battlecruiser or pocket battleship - so I'm not going to attach too much weight to your comment either. It's an ongoing debate.
Sorry but...🤔Unfortunately only pretty good. But the only really bad thing is the map of Norway, Sweden and Finland... Maps have no borders and North should always be up, which is impossible to understand if it really is here... Unfortunately, there are therefore others who have made this better and more comprehensible 😢 .... 🤨And nobody here understands how high the mountains are around Norwegian fjords either. And why it becomes extra difficult to bomb. 😮So homework on this. There was room to make this exciting, but it was also missed.😢

Great history. Thanks and keep it up.
Jeez. the videos look like Baz Battles old WW2 videos. Congrats on the amazing video.

Thank you!
I was never been aware of that F4U Corsair took place in the european theatre.

The Tirpitz was one tough nut to crack, almost as tough as IJN Yamato.

Great job! Thx!
I am from Shetland and find it interesting the navy used Shetland for a base for various missions.
Very interesting
I understand the significance of taking this ship down. But I look at an a lot like Admiral Halsey chasing down the last Japanese carrier when other things needed done.
Cudos for the pronunciation of the name of the ship!
at some point youd think the british would just give up after failing to sink it so incredibly many times
Really enjoyed that, very informative and interesting. Don't mess with the British.
It never ends well
This prompts my curiosity toward the B-52's capacity for delivering anti-ship missiles.
Tirpitz was completed by the time of yamatos keel being layed
The Tirpitz was originally going to be an Atlantic Battleship, But the Port of St Nazair was attacked by some brave Brits to stop that from happening. See this Video for a Fantastic explaination. ua-cam.com/video/07Zd0Oy8JyQ/v-deo.htmlsi=vz-7zwn1NkKXtgqY
I was under the impression that the Bizmark was the largest German Battleship
They were sisters so basically the same size!
I'm surprised that the Royal or US Navies didn't send in some Battleships to wreak havoc.
They still had to ŵorry about air power!!!!
No need for distracting music. I'm here for information not music
They found parts of the Tirpitz 3 miles away. Bearings from a turret.
Famous beards for 500, Alex !
The ship was so big, and so impotent. Too big to actually be any use. So it hid, and never did anything but sink. Bit like the bismark.
Bismark sank Hood
Great video as always

There is a Norwegian made documentary called tirpitz siste dager (last days of tirpitz) its on you tube
Wrong title should be tirpitz det siste slaget sorry😊
Never heard about tirpits
In reality Tripitz was keeping allied heavy units in European waters. They were needed in the Pacific.

It was $50K for the Disney interview, I thought.
wasnt a super battleship at all
Your video was ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!! Just a very small thing/ my 2 cents worth, could you use feet, miles, because im not good with the metric system.
Around 202 countries use metric, 3 don't and those 3 don't even use the same imperial system.

Yes
No

To have that awesome ship just sit there until they bombed it was so ignorant but Hitler was no admiral and had no idea how to use his ships!!!!
I don't get it... Weren't their U-bosts a hundred times more dangerous than their two, then one battleship?
From my understanding, you can use destroyers to help protect convoys from subs, the tirpitz would tear through the destroyers
Is Turpiz still at the botom?
Nope.

Secondly, the Bismarcks were not “Super Battleships” by any means. That is a propaganda term that is factually inaccurate as neither of the Bismarcks possessed superior armor or firepower to the vast majority of their contemporaries, and displaced significantly more due to their poor design and engineering inefficiency of German naval construction derived from both having fallen behind in experience due to the Versailles restrictions on the German navy.
Finally, the Deutschlands were NOT “pocket battleships”, that is a inaccurate British media term that in not way characterized the capabilities of the Deutschlands (they are heavily armed heavy cruisers with extremely poor protection and speed, less capable that many treaty cruisers of half the displacement).

Don't do these awful AI voiceovers. Use your real voice. So much better.
Sorry but...🤔Unfortunately only pretty good.
But the only really bad thing is the map of Norway, Sweden and Finland... Maps have no borders and North should always be up, which is impossible to understand if it really is here...
Unfortunately, there are therefore others who have made this better and more comprehensible 😢 ....
🤨And nobody here understands how high the mountains are around Norwegian fjords either.
And why it becomes extra difficult to bomb.
😮So homework on this. There was room to make this exciting, but it was also missed.😢

I haven't removed any comments. I have no idea what you posted before this.

UA-cam problems happens when I comment on mobile
He's not removing comments. I get glitches from posting on my Droid.
You probably comment things UA-cam doesn't approve of and they get automatically removed and your account gets flagged. Watch what you say and you can converse with the rest of us
Great channel but you gotta improve your choice of music.
