What a pity she wasn't preserved for a maritime museum as an example of the revolutionary innovation the Kriegsmarine achieved in the last days of the war, in spite of having their shipyards and factories destroyed with daily and massive air bombings. These 21 Types were so fantastic that all the Allied navies copied them immediately as soon as they could lay their hands on one after the war. Fortunately there is one in perfect conditions in Bremerhaven, Germany, the U-2540.
@@pedrolistacarey4880 Money, and sometimes secrecy keeps things like this from being saved. I agree, it was a tragic decision but at the same time I believe they were hiding the tech ology from the wrong hands, in fact I believe the narration said something about that, it's been a few days since I watched it.
@scubamaniak Music isn't always the answer, friend. Sometimes a little research for increased context goes a long way. When the ability to offer context isn't plausible, and music is the only option, might I suggest something that fits the mood better? While I myself would attain joy diving on such an amazing wreck it's still an ominous existence, not creepy (though some examples can be....) but moreso a reminder of it's history while not forgoing the scale of its danger. I'm not sure exactly what royalty free music selection you have access to, but the right touch pinpoints the videos success. You've got potential, I am in no way implying the opposite.
Sunk at sea ... what a fricking waste. Adjusted for inflation, can you imagine what that brand new ship cost to build? If nothing else it should have been scrapped or converted for use by one of the allied countries.
Beautiful wreck.
You can see it's bones!
Commentary yes music no
Awesome music.

The Wilhelm Bauer is the same type and is on display to the public in Bremerhaven,Germany.
The allies captured 150 German U-boats you couldn’t keep them all
@@challanger275 - I didn't mean all...! Just ONE TYPE 21...
Love the view but muted the terrible music......
Thanks for the feedback! Btw, could you suggest some music that would fit this project better? I’ll add it to the next one.

@@scubamaniak Maybe some soundtrack from Das Boat, but not too loud :)
Pump up the volume, I can still just hear the words.
Why the hell would the Royal navy sink a perfectly functional type XXI u-boat in 1946?

Was für eine Verschwendung von Material. Schade um die schönen Boote.
