Thank you for paying respect to our brave Canadian WW2 veterans.
Вывод один , били фашисты англичан, французов и американцев на суше очень хорошо, вы не имели такого мужества и б/опыта, как СССР!
Только Русские вас всех тогда и спасли, та как вы умели только бомбить всё подряд , но не воевать!
Теперь вы забыли про то военное братство, своих и наших ветеранов и возрождаете фашизм на Украине !!!
ПОЗОР ВАМ !!!
God bless these brave Merchant Seaman. The Canadians (heroes) kept the British going. They never get enough credit for what they did. As stated years ago (and now) thank you to all those brave souls.
My Grandad who fought in the 2nd world war, mainly in Germany and Belgium always told me how brave and courageous the Canadian army was..
They were fearless.. he was proud to have fought alongside them 🫡
Huge respect to all WW2 heroes. Welcome home, hero.
You do realize that WWll has been over for 74 years don't you ?
Yes, respect to them all. I watch these submarine history movies because I have a son presently in US Navy serving on a submarine.
bowing my head in memory of all merchant mariners, who also gave their lives
Submariners had balls of steel, whatever their nationality.
A very moving tribute to these amazing Canadians / Un hommage très émouvant à ces incroyables Canadiens
A tragic War Stories episode, but it deserved to be told. Bless you all.
It is a very wonderful documentary. amazing..full of accurate information. He deserves great admiration and praise. I salute you with all the beautiful words and sincere feelings for your sincere efforts in producing this distinguished and wonderful work. I wish you lasting success and all goodness and happiness. You are the best in the best. I have the utmost respect, pride, and appreciation.
We Canadians were sacrificed. This was just a demo to show the USSR that it was futile to attack too soon. But, killing colonials wouldn't have political implications.
Bless all the unsung heroes. Thank you all for your service and sacrifices.
Bless those young men, may they rest in peace.
Never endured such activities like this; but i could not see myself crying for my enemies that’s where they belong the bottom of the ocean they was killing civilians in merchant ships. Godbless the heroes who paid the ultimate sacrifice for their country!!! An honor the few legends who are still with us today!!!
Its true about the yanks being different from everyone else. I may be a dual citizen yank now but 1st and foremost a German native, born and raised in Germany. That said as a kid seeing Das Boot in US theaters on holiday as some US family had not seen it yet so thought might be interesting to see how the film was in America so with my parents and cousins we went to see it.
But turned out to be a shock that will never forget. During the opening of the film" Of the 40,000 German submarine sailors, 30,000 never returned" the whole place just erupted like a football game, everyone cheered, hooted and yelled. But what was weird was during the end when the boat sank, there was no cheering or clapping. Surreal to say the least.
The Greatest Generation!
"90% boredom & 10% sheer terror"!😱
May God bless these men .
Thank EACH & EVERY one of The MOST Special Humans to EVER walk The Earth! A American Who will Never EVER Forget You incredibale Men, Thank U from the Bottom of my AMERICAN Heart!
I would love to see more Uboat videos!
Wonderful documentary,absolute respect to all those truly courageous men. ❤
“And the sea gave up the dead who were in it . . .” Revelation 29:13
Heroes. 🙏💪🇨🇦
As an American I sincerely appreciate the sacrifice ALL allied soldiers made during BOTH World Wars to rid the world of tyranical evil. This is NOT TO DISCOUNT THOSE WHO LOST THEIR LIVES THAT DAY. That being said, having extensively studies the 1st World War at 43:50 this documentary states that "The Assault on Dieppe was the most costly day in Canadian Army history." A quick search on google states that although I believe these are overall figures for the multiple day battle "The Canadians held Vimy Ridge. This victory came at a high cost as 3,598 Canadians lost their lives, and 7,000 were wounded during the four-day battle. April 9, 1917 is still the bloodiest day in Canadian military history."
3 mist ups...I freaking love Canada. We all pretty much have it made. I appreciate everything. *his ball still hurts to this day. I laughed and cried.
So much respect for the men and women that fought in the wars. Heroes every one of them 💯💪
Thank you to the heroes.
My Grandfather was a US Navy pharmacist mate that was stationed at a navy hospital. When he wasn’t filling prescriptions he was a hospital warden,sailors that survived U-boat attacks were on his floor. He only spoke with my grandmother about that,never said one word to anybody else in the family.
Our kids might be mixed breed but at least we're not speaking German 😂
قناه متميزه وفديو متميزه جدا الف شكرا
Mr Grandpa served on the frigate HMCS St.John. not sure which before that. He never spoke of the war and leaving men in the water. I read his journals... it was a lot.
Absolute Heroes. Legends.🇬🇧🇨🇦
Only the sea remembers their names!
Your work is fantastic! Please insert translation in the language (PORTUGUESE-BRAZILIAN). Health and success! 🇧🇷
Super wonderful historical coverage documentary about Canadian sailors participants in protection of supplies convoys from America 🇺🇸 to Britain 🇬🇧 during early years of WW2...where German U-boats...practiced wolves pact attacked supplement convoys...thank (war stories) channel for sharing
@ 19:10 "we had 820 fighting submarines and we lost 781"
that's a loss rate of just over 96%, (34,000 lives lost)
"so I cannot begrudge his wry smile either"
about 30,000 of Allies sailors lost their lives, in the Battle of the Atlantic too,
the North Atlantic is the Worlds largest War Cemetery, (that has no headstones).
When I watch these docs all I feel hatred and disgust for is our politicians and governments.
When a British merchant ship was sunk - the crew's pay
(and remittances to family members ) was stopped and merchant seaman
were not considered as veterans until the late'60's
So much for a grateful nation..

How did they do it? I wonder if I could have…
Music name
Dam I was in the Infantry for 18 years did a few combat tours.
I understand the reasons and why's they had to leave them in the water. And in a war time scenario I actually agree with it .
Many times in war a Soldier, Sailor, Airman or Marine has to do some terrible terrible things to give the best chances for the mission to succeed and often times we have to some die so many more can live.
But dang the stain on the Soul for those poor basterds that had to leave those Sailors behind in the water knowing they where going to die. Pray that the Good Lord gives them Peace.
They did what they had to do and in wartime it was the right thing to do. But that don't make it easier.
My heart and soul go out to all of you.
Why didnt submarine destroy escorts first?
What I did watch was very interesting, but half way through i was done.
Way to many adverts. Fed up with them.
Its a shame, that UA-cam is slowly going down the pan.

In the vomming battles they learned how to fight !
In the Shelts 6ooo died , but we WON.!
In the battle of foerests of germany 9ooo died, but we WON !
At Nornany 3ooo died , but we won !
The only difference between German propaganda and that of the Allies was that at least some of the Allies was true. It all served the same purpose, to motivate the troops and pacify the populous. Being a Vet myself I've seen it at both ends.
It disgusting to see how Remembrance Day has been bastardized , by a changing Canadian demographic who claim that it has no bearing on them , people need to realize that without the sacrifices of these men and women they wouldn't have the freedoms they enjoy , they deserve that half day when absolutely everything stops to honor them

Britain stood alone??? What a load of 💩💩💩
What Trudeau has done to Canada is disgraceful
The best prime Minister since WW2.
@@brucesnyder690 I found your backbone
Not a single Black man.. so RACIST😢
They should've stayed in their pens/home bases after they started losing so many men and their u-boats and were withdrawn, they were never going to stop the supplies from America as their mammoth manufacturing and logistical supremacy would just build more and keep sending it, German high command surely knew they were sending men on a likely suicide patrol.
Fun Fact: The moon is actually more important to our survival than the sun because it gives us light at night when it’s dark but the sun gives light during day when it’s already light out
Yes, but without the sun, there would be no light. The planet would freeze, and nothing would grow so I would say that the sun is more important than the moon.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Wow a rocket scientist
the moon helps us and the plants and the animals sleep, without sleep we would die.
What makes it light in the first place?
Lest we Forget.
THAT,S WHY I NEVER EVER POT MY FEET INSIDE THE SHIPE,,,NEVER IN MY LIFE,NOW IM 52 YEARS OLD,,EVEN I DONT TRAVEL BY AIR IF I KNOW PLAN PASSING SEA ,,NO WAY MAN,,,
