- Hello guys here’s another video!
Any questions don’t hesitate to comment below!
I’ve just realised that I said the visor cap was original. It is not unfortunately but it one of best reproductions out there!

"Take photos of the crew returning.....not putting out the sea......."
"Why?"
"They'll have beards by then"
For propaganda , German photographers would film U boat crews before they left on a mission. That way the crew would look fresh, alive and clean shaven awake.
Nice I never seen anyone do a U-Boat impression before
Me too
Not many naval reenactments.
There isn't much information on KM footwear online, that I've found at least. Uboat crews were issued canvas plimsolls, but according to some these were also issued to surface sailors. Variants of the M37 lowboot were worn as well, however whether they were hobnailed or not is unspecified. I'd imagine not, as wearing hobnailed boots on a ship is a recipe for disaster. Jackboots are much the same, and once again I'd imagine they had rubber soles. Another commenter already mentioned wellington boots, these were present as well.
And finally we get to the least satisfying and most unclear answer. Uboat crews were afforded many civilian comforts and clothing items that their surface ship and serving kameraden were not. It's not out of the realm of possibility that a sailor might bring his own wet weather gear from home.
Overall, this is a spectacular impression and is much more interesting than the usual fare of reenacting content on youtube. That original leather jacket is fantastic, it's a shame about the original life jacket though. Anyways, I'm just an SS/Heer reenactor with a passing interest in naval history, not an authority on this stuff by any means, but I'd love to know more as well.
I'm a former Submariner, with a soft spot for U boat history. I appreciate this impression.
Not yet Kameraden, Not yet!
I just love when people do these
The camera is a nice touch.
Great video BRman! Impressive kit display, looking forward to seeing more 👍🏻

Rubber sole boots (wellies) were issued for onboard for the purpose of waterproofing, noise reduction and comfort - Jack boots were worn onsure -
Hi, a great video to watch. Just one thing, the darkened goggles would be worn on the sub at night, just before surfacing to acclimatise the eyes to the dark conditions on the surface.
They were issued sea boots which were identical to jackboots but had rubber soles. Nice collection!
Excellent impression & video :) very nice kit! I scored a reefer-type jacket from a private seller in Germany and went for the FAB cap too. Found the removable white cover as well in Hamburg! Although I was trying to locate the similar jacket & cap worn by my g.uncle during his time then I also found a flotilla badge, the same type he wore on his cap, from Kent too! Very happy of that. Once again, superb video and really appreciate the efforts you’ve gone too to get this right:) I wish he and they were around to see this stuff
I really loved your impression
Danke für das interessante Video! Tolle Sammlung!
I gotta say this is extremely accurate.... I’m Impressed !
I'm here before the video blows up.
This is nuts ! Nice work !
This is so well made!
That's freaking awesome. I wish I could afford to do this sort of thing. Ooh Rah!
Awesome impression, where did you get the tunic?
I want more. I always wanted someone to showcase a kriegsmarine uniform
Man sorry, where can I find a repro of a uniform of kriegsmarine officer? In which site?
Wow it's nice- thanks for posting.
Guter Überblick.👍
Awesome Video!
the panzer boots are the closest thing i can think of that resembles kriegsmarine boots, they didnt wear studded boots as that'd damage the deck
where did you bought to uniform
Did the Kreigesmarine have the M43 caps?
Thanks!
U-boot captains had white visor caps. By the way nice collection :)
He’s not representing a Kapitän lieutenant
@@prussianproductions9958 at 1:15 he said: this impression is based on a captain on u-57 and the tunic sleeve insignia is also a Kapitänleutnant rank.
@@magicmanta5968 you’re, I missed that. Basing an impression can mean many things. Looking at multiple photos of Kapitän Leutnant‘s, you see many having blue caps. Example: Helmut Rosenbaum, Herbert Sohler, Fritz Julius Lemp
ausgezeichnete Video liebe Kameraden
Is it all original or is there something purchased ??
Great hat mate!
It’s a shame that the good guys lost WW2
Where do you get this stuff? Must cost a lot.
Did you buy the Wehrmacht uniforms?
cool vid
you better add their u boat leather jackets and coat too soon
I just picked up a modem sailor jumper and I’m gonna put km insignia on it
Man I wish I could get a ww2 german army officer uniform and wear it to school, but I dout they have anything my size.
Can somebody drop the link for the leather cap?
very nice 🙂🙂🙂
Where did you get the suspenders???!!!?!??
Most likely they are just regular civilian suspenders that you can just buy on eBay
If you don't want to go on eBay and get civilian suspenders you can go to at the front they sell field grade suspenders which most people use those
If you want a nice authentic ww2 luftwaffe jacket check out Eastman leather in history preservation they are quite good and accurate to the originals
Beard's missing yo
Dang that’s legit
You sunked 36 of out ships
What would this impression be used for?
wheres the Perviten ?
Nowhere. Pervitin where only issued to smaller two men submaries (in KM)
