#Tirpitz #battleships
You really over did the dramatic music. Maybe a description of what we're looking at instead?
The war were dramatic and what happend to them all. All items are from the war, and I doesn't know everything about them.
I'd loved the music. Would like to know what it is...
Your a idiot
Extremely brave men on both sides. Many of whom set to sea never to return. May God rest their souls in peace.
I agree!
Condolences for Tirpitz and KriegsM crew families... Rest In Peace ❤

That crater was clearly from a 12,000lb "Tallboy" bomb. The 2nd heaviest non-nuclear bomb dropped during WW2. Designed by Barnes Wallis, (the creator of the bouncing bomb used by 617 Dambuster Squadron), it was a semi-armour piercing bomb meant to cause a localised "earthquake".
Thank you for the more information about it, I haven't go that deep into how big it actually were. But that's really good to know. And the creater is really huge, not easy to see on video.
Greetings from Wisconsin! Well done my friend! I love WW2 history. Love the war museums, and amazed at the size of these ships. It was a blessing she never sailed in anger, yet a tragedy to lose such a behemoth. Thank you sooooooo much for this.
Thank you buddy!!
I also love ww2 history, and Tirpitz I heard about since I was young, so it have always been a more interesting topic for me. But here in Norway most things after the war have been destroyed right after, so there is often not much to see. But I plan to visit some other things also, not only ww2-related. But I have to thing about if I can make it to a good content or not.
Yeh I lived in Superior, Wisconsin while I worked up there, it's the hometown (actually he's from nearby Poplar) of Richard Ira Bong. He flew a P38 in WW2 and is the US's "Ace of Aces" with 40 confirmed kills. They have an awesome museum up in Superior where they restored his exact plane and have it on display. He died at the age of only 24 test flying a jet. There's so much history everywhere about ww2. Being of German descent, I'm fascinated by the German engineering and the size and scope of their machines.
@@ironheadbiker That is really cool that he lived close to you there. Almost all white people in North America came from Europe, but it's cool that your ancestors came from Germany.
This is awesome! I wouldn't mind watching a time-lapse of someone putting together one of those museum quality scale models. Probably pretty meticulous stuff.
I'm especially amazed with the amount of stuff they have at this museum that someone probably wouldn't have thought to save. Things like the toothpaste and assorted bottles and stuff. Man, that's a wealth of period pieces to say the least. So cool.
Maybe I should go shoot some of the smaller museums we have around here sometime. The snowmobile was invented here, and there's a bunch of places that showcase the past of this area. Could be cool winter content. We'll see. What camera did you use to shoot this sir?
Take care buddy. Talk to you later.
I actually have plans to record a little bit more like this local history, mostly to show people around the world and I love the history about ww2 in general.
There were 3 different models in the museum, and I think them were all actually handmade (not like a model you can buy) and donated to this museum. Think most things here are actually donated to the museum.
Yes should do that, I love seeing local history around the world like that. Especially the history about snowmobiles :)
I used DJI Pocket 2 to film most of the clips, great small camera that do great indoors.
Thank you buddy for watching and commenting about this.
The Lonely Queen of the North
Yes it really was
It really was a esthetically beautiful battleship.
Yes it really was
l remember listening to a crew member say he watched a bomb falling..a Tallboy...he was ashore at the time. which saved his life..whilst many of his comrades were either killed when the bombs struck or trapped inside the hull when it capsized...
Yes the war was terrible, so good that he saved his life being on land
At least parts of this battleship exist but I think that someone needs to salvage part of the Bismark so that some peices of the two sister ships came be above water
That would be great indeed
Great video mate, I love this sort of stuff, she was an absolute beast !! That bomb crater just shows what the allies were dropping on her … really enjoyed this ❤️
Thank you 🙂
Tirpitz was a really big battleship at that time and the allies tried everything to sink her 🙂
Its from a 5 ton Tallboy.
Thank you for uplöading this view in a hidden time box.
Thank you for watching.
Excellent... "In memory of all fallen soldiers", very well done indeed!
Thank you!
Agreed -- Well Done...👍👍
@@ArcticExploring g
Wasn't much about the Tirpitz now and then....???
I did explain about Tirpitz in the beginning and rest is from now and what happend with relics
@@ArcticExploring just thought it would be more about the ship itself....
@@conceptalfa I understand but I doesn't have much more to add that haven't been made already and would just be a copy from others.
Hermann Goering was incompetent and didnt have any fighter planes available when she faced her end. His Luftwaffe didnt work together with the Kriegsmarine and didnt even know she had moved to a new location
I think there were a lot of mistakes going on back then when it happend.
A namesake of mine was asked why no one was sent up to counter the british bombers..he replied no one asked..oberleutnant Werner Gayko staffelcapitan 9 jadgeswader 5 eismeer herdla norway
My grandfather was in the UK Fleet Air Arm raid at Kåfjord in April 1944. I visited this museum a few years ago. It is worth seeing !
This was my frist time visiting the musuem, and I guess it do look about the same with no much more relics since you visited it? I can just imagine how it must felt for you visiting this place that your grandfather have been attacking during ww2.
Impressive display of artifacts. Not over-curated and sterile like many museums tend to be.
They have a lot of nice artifacts there indeed, and I didn't even film half of it since it was really much 🙂 I can recommend people visiting this museum if they are ever up here in the north
Good vid. Had no idea this museum existed.
Thank you.
I think a lot of people doesn't know about this museum and I didn't show everything from there since it is really much.
When I visited the Tirpitz museum in 2010, photography was not allowed there. 🤔
I even asked if I was allowed to film there and I was, but it was not the owner himself I asked but one that worked there. could be it is allowed now since I saw many taking pictures while I was there.
the gun lying outside being destroyed and having its parts stolen ,is a twin 15 cm skc 28 from zepelin. airchraft carrier ,and is werry rare indeed. if the museum is not able to take care of it they need to sell it to somebody that can.
I didn't know that. I think it just arrived there last summer.
Where did its engines end up ????? Perhaps in a power station !!!!!
It did end up in a power station for many years, I have it from wikipedia.
There is a lot of history in Kåfjord connected to Tirpitz. Both relics from the Germans (shame to see the guns in such a bad conditions), but also from the allies. The Royal Navy launched several air strikes from carriers and there are plane wrecks around the fjord. I had hoped to visit one plane this year, but I think it must wait for next year. Anyway - a nice movie you have made from the area and the museum:)
Thank you mate!
You have never been here in Kåfjord before? This was actually the first time I walked to the bomb-crate and visited the Tirpitz museum. I had plan to make this video for years, but always had other things to do before. I have always been interested in ww2-history and didn't understand how big the topic about Tirpitz was before I got older.
Those guns are not in any form related to Kåfjord or Tirpitz.
Very interesting, didnt know they had a museum, thanks!
It is worth visiting for people interested in ww2 history!
I was lucky to visit there in 2018 before the plague ruined travel.
Cool that you have been there visiting
Hello from Sweden 🇸🇪 2022-03-20
Hi there
Very nice Video absolut Tirpitz
Thank you and I'm glad you liked it
Question- why did the Tirpitz's crew stay aboard and suffered heavy loss of life, when it would have been more logical for them to be billetted safely ashore, leaving relatively few on board to man the AA guns?
They got their orders I belive
@@ArcticExploring stupid orders..:)
Building a barracks for roughly 2,000 people is not a simple project, esp. given the terrain and resources.
Their "home" was on the ship and if she had to move it would have added hours to her steaming time, just getting the crew to the ship.
@@whya2ndaccount If i was a non-AA crew member and was given the choice of being billetted ashore in a villagers house or in a tent, or staying aboard and getting a big bomb in my lap, it's not rocket science to know which I'd have chosen..:)
@@tungstenkid2271 Winter in Artic Norway in a tent - all yours.
Really good presentation. Great job 🇮🇹👍🇮🇹👍🇮🇹❤️🖤🇮🇹👍 ciao from italy 🇮🇹👍🇮🇹👍🇮🇹👍🇮🇹
Thank you so much 🙂
Thank You for video
I thought Nazi Symbols were banned from/in public display
During constructing bridge, they must have found lot of stuff related to tirpitz
They are not banned from a war museum like this, but they are the reason I can't get this video monitized.
During the construction they did find some undetonated bombs they needed to take care of.
Thank you for watching.
I thank you as well. I will never be able to get here, as much as wish I could.
@@Off-The-X You never know in the future, and the whole place is totally worth visiting and then I mean not only the museum but also where Tirpitz was during the war.
@@ArcticExploring All do respect, as a history enthusiast, I go to Europe, I wont come back. The list is a lifetime long! Right now Im studying Native American history here in Minnesota. OWishte' (Safe Travels)
@@ArcticExploring>>> YT demonetizing a video over Nazi symbols in a museum is ridiculous.
During my National Service 1988-89 I was stationed at Olavsvern outside Tromsø. I was allowed to joint the Navy divers on the wrecksite of Tirpitz. Not much left, but the impression in the mud was still there. Got an impression of the size of the ship.
What was not mentioned, was "Operation Zitronella", where Tirpitz and Scharnhorst went to Spitzbergen, to bombard allied positions, in September 1943. In addition, Tirpitz kept up large RN units, just in case it went out to hunt convoyes, so it was efficient, though never in battle....
Really interesting to know and it's cool that you have been diving where it is/was in the ocean also.
Wow great sharing very interesting amazing videos thanks for sharing 😯👍
Thank you so much for watching 😊
Great video...👍
Thank you for watching and commenting
Old battleships have something special about them and kind of very sad ..amazing steel structures
They do, thank you for watching
I absolutely loved this share and I really enjoyed it I learned alot about this beautiful place still a big supporter to you my dear friend ❤️
Thank you so much my friend!! 😊
@@ArcticExploring my pleasure my dear friend ❤️💜
a NARRATOR would have been nice- oh well
If I know what to say about all those relics and also my knowledge at that time was not good. But I have more ww2 videos coming later where I'm still not finished recording all.
Thanks for posting this! I’m in the States and would never get a chance to see this if it wasn’t for you posting it. I love WW2 history and like to watch videos on it. Especially museums like this. Thanks again.
Great that you liked watching this. I have plans for making more videos about ww2, see if I find any interesting places to visit from the war here in the north.
@@ArcticExploring Looking forward to watching them. You have a new subscriber. Peace
Nice Vieo, but were are the torpedos tubes? The model in the museeum shows the Bismark 😉😉
Thank you so much. If I remember right I did show both Tirpitz and Bismark in this. But I have plans for making a new video about it and will visit this museum again.
Watch the video My friend likes to watch your video, everything is beautiful👍💝🤝
Thank you so much!
An interesting glimpse of some relics and some artefacts but no actual ‘then and now’ content.
It was the best tittle I could find
Great history documentary, museum, the music is perfect 👍
Thank you so much 🙂
How many WW2 Battleships actually sunk surface ships? Less than 10 I bet, not including German pocket battleships
I doesn't have the numbers, but think it should be more than 10.
German Battleships actually sunk a few dozen ships
-Scharnhorst and Gneisenau sank together around 30 ships (most merchants) including some destroyers and a aircraft carrier
-Bismarck and Tirpitz did far less and only really sank hood (Tirpitz shot up a few fishing towns in Spitzbergen so probably a few fishing boats but that's it)
And the usn battleships actually played a big role in crippling the french fleet after the french surrender and sinking multiple cruisers and destroyers
british.@@banditodorito4091
@banditodorito: Did they really? I didn't think the US joined the war until after 7th Dec 1941. There's no record of US battleships at Mers-el-Kebir in 1940! That was the Royal Navy. We also took care of the Italians at Taranto. You've been watching too many Hollywood movies!
How come bits of tirpitz are on dry land, shouldn't they be in a museum ?
If you mean the cannon, it is a bit too big for a normal museum.
Brave blokes on both sides , fighting a pointless war for some first class heartless lunatic , hiding away in his bunker in Germany.. All those beautiful ships sent to the bottom , madness.
I totally agree with you, and I just hope history doesn't repeat itself.
Stalin was the real heartless lunatic
I love seeing historic places. Thanks for sharing this information with us. Have a nice day!
Thank you buddy!
And same to you :)
Regardless of what side anyone fought on, people should not be grave robbing such sights for tourism, but rather leave such sights as they are out of respect for those who died.
Indeed
From what I have read the Tirpitz was damaged beyond repair in the Fjord. But its decks were still above water, presumable shallow water. So was it actually salvaged?
Wiki says it was salvaged over several yeats from 1948
Tirpitz was damaged here in Kåfjord in Alta from mines, but it later moved to Tromsø where it got damaged totally.
It capsized and was almost upside down. The hill was cut up for scrap after the war. You can find a video of the process on UA-cam 👍🏻
It capsized!
Tirpitz was damaged by a Tallboy from Lancaster W4964 of 9 sqn RAF in Kåfjord (operation Paravene). This left her not sea worthy hence it was towed to Trømso to act as an anti air platform. She was then attacked again by Lancasters of 9 & 617 sqn on operation Catechism. Two direct hits by Tallboy and several near misses were enough to capsize her taking close to a thousand persons. They were German and Dutch casualties.. in total 13 Dutch men served on Tirpitz with the Kriegsmarine.
5 Jahre ohne OUTLANDER SKANDINAVIEN. TOP oder.!
I watched the Video with Huge Interest....Will have to Visit that Museum by myself Someday !
This was actually my first visit to this museum, and I didn't even record everything that have to be seen there. I can really recommend visit this museum and the place close by where Tirpitz was stationed during ww2.
thank you very much for this gorgeous historic informative upload
Thank you
The music in This is absolutely wonderful also don't trust those manigin remember Dr Who
Thank you 🙂
Interesting and well made video! Quite different from your ATV videos! I find great interest in WW2 and so does my dad. We went to the imperial war museum in England when I was young, Perhaps we need to come and visit this museum too.
Thank you so much!
I tried to make this more like an documentary, but it was a bit of a challenge in the museum because of different lights + a bit crowded. I have also always been interested in ww2-history, and here in Norway we have a lot of traces after the war still.
This museum is privatly run, so I could really recommend visiting it if you are ever here 🙂
@@ArcticExploring will put it on my ”remember” list
Did not know that was still around, thought it had been scrapped. Nice to see that there is a museum dedicated to the ship another tragedy to war.
Tirpitz have been scraped but there is a lot of relics and other things from it and about it than they have taken care of and like you could see, some are in this local museum.
Tirpitz = Ensome Dronning
That is true
Nice information history, thank you friend, greetings
Thank you so much
amazing video friend. joined your channel from uk. please also come along to ours when you get some time. thanks and stay safe!!
Thank you
A good video of an important history. Thank you👍
Thank you mate, it's really important to also learn from the past
thank you for your museum vidio., its not often that the rest os the world gets to visit there
Thank you, I wanted to show all the relics also so most people can see it that have never been there.
Very well done documentary. I actually watched it twice.
Thank you, and great that you liked it!
From Tennessee, I think I saw a French horn among the other instruments
It could be, not sure but there is a lot of different instruments they used on Tirptiz
There must be lot of history behind this.. nice dramatic music 👍
It surely is, thank you
no german battleship lasted very long
Yes most of them didn't last long.
Would like to see more of surrounding area and what is left there.
If you watch my other videos from summer, then you will see a lot more
1:03=Geschützrohr mit Bodenstück der 10,5-cm-Schnelladekanone C/33.
I didn't know that, thanks
A "Jonnie Walker" bomb! I didn't think there would be any of them still extant.
I'm not sure why it still is, maybe it came from England?
As I understand it, during the raid on the Tirpitz in Kaafjord, some of the Lancasters were carrying Tallboys and some Johnnie Walkers, both bombs being new weapons.
The Johnnie Walkers were supposed to change depth periodically and be carried towards the target ship by the tide or current. There was never any evidence that they worked and they were never used again.
Nice Video 😃. I LOVE GERMAN SHIP'S KMS BISMARCK,TIRPITZ,SCHARNHORST,GNEISENAU,GRAF SPEE,PRINZ EUGEN & OTHERS 😃. When I Was Little I Did So Much Reading & Looking Up On The History Of The Ship's 😃. I Can't Wait To See Him & His Museum 😃
I have myself always been interested in Tirpitz but it could be since I grow up hearing about it all time when I was young 🙂
It is a bit special being where it all happend in that little fjord 🙂
Yeah When I Was Little I Was All Ways Into WW1 & WW2 😃. Also The Same Hearing About It 😃
In case you go to Norway, the C turret of Gneisenau was placed as coastal artillery at Austrått, outside Trondheim. Still there, as a museum, and well worth visiting. Therer's also a museum for Blucher, at Drøbak in Oslofjord. There's a nice clip of that engagement in "The King's Choice" (Kongens nei) here on YT.
Have you a favourite extermination camp? Nazi Germany was monstrously evil.
Interesting ☠ I imagine that by NOW the museum has been 'cleared out', if not closed, similar to that other Norwegian WW2 museum 😒
Not this one, it is up and running all summer since they always have closed during winter
@@ArcticExploring Just as well. Nevertheless the swastikas need to be covered up because the neo Bolsheviks will be coming soon
@@christopherfritz3840 I agree, but doesn't hope so.
A ship that should have seen some real sea battles
It should. But the allies was so afraid of it so they did everything to sink it early on.
FWIW: After watching this video → Subbed.
Thank you so much

Did it sink or was scrapped?
It was damaged really much and did tip over with many people trapped inside.
@Sh4dow: She was sunk by the RAF. They dropped 12,000lb bombs on her causing her to roll over.
@@PercyPruneMHDOIFandBars they were called tall boy bombs
@keithlabarrie3098 Indeed they were. Designed by Barnes Wallis of Dambuster fame and delivered by 9 & 617 squadrons!
Wow all that history
It is really interesting to learn and see for yourself about the past 🙂
On 22 September 1943 at Kåfjord on the Altafjord, North Norway, Lieutenant Donald Cameron, from Carluke in Scotland commanding Midget Submarine X.6, and another lieutenant (Basil Charles Godfrey Place) commanding Midget Submarine X.7, carried out a most daring and successful attack on the German Battleship Tirpitz. Cameron was awarded the VC, one of 3 VC winners to come from the small town of Carluke.
It takes a lot of courage to carry out what they did at the time, great respect for them.
Awesome 😎
Thank you :)
What happened to all the bodies of the crew of the Tirpitz after the ship was scrapped ?
Most of them was picked up and buried on land
@@ArcticExploring I mean the 1000 who were entombed and died in the ship after she sunk .
@@dobs862 I think most of them have been picked up from ocean and buried aswell when they cutted up the ship.

@@thomasschwalger7580 Ich denke, sie haben Pläne, das meiste von dem, was da draußen ist, wiederherzustellen, aber sie kosten viel Zeit und Geld, wie ich erkannt habe. Deshalb besuchen sie das Museum sehr gerne. Es befindet sich in Alta, aber Tirpitz wurde in Tromsø versenkt, das einige Stunden entfernt liegt. Aber hier in Kåfjord in Alta war Tirpitz während des Krieges stationiert, und dieses Museum ist etwa 2 km vom Platz entfernt.
@@ArcticExploring Als Ersatzteile um die Bismarck zu reparieren.....War nur Spaß.
@@thomasschwalger7580 haha
They would have beaten the Welsh, jocks and irish but the mistake the Germans made was to start a fight with Englishmen.
I think that too + the Russian was also really powerful
The "jocks" Welsh and Irish fought alongside the English and to infer that was not the case is beyond crass, the Celts are some of the fiercest warriors ever known.
It was a war with the British. One nation of a proud & professional military.
What a stupid statement
Written by a complete bell end lol.
That gun never was i Kåfjord during the war, thats not true.
I didn't say it was either if I remember right, it came from a battery close by
Do you have a google map with all the locations pointed out? :)
I don't but do you wonder where Tirpitz were stationed or?

At 11:30 I see a US made radio transmitter, a BC375 usually found on early war US aircraft, sometimes installed in jeeps. Maybe supplied to Norwegian resistance units?
Good job on the video.
I was in Tromso in the early '70s, met folks who had been on the Tripitz salvage.
The owner of the museum would know where it have been used. I think the Norwegian resistance used radios from England since USA was not involved in the war until later and was never in Norway fighting.
Cool that you have been in Tromsø and met some of the people been working on the salvage of Tirpitz.
@@ArcticExploring If I recall correctly, there was extensive Lend-Lease war material arrangements between GB and US starting in (I think) 1940.
There were many PBY amphibious aircraft supplied under the arrangement, many of which were based in N. Scotland. Its within 'scope of imagination' to suspect the BC375 came north from there. Maybe.
Theres nothing clandestine about the BC375, it requires a heavy power supply or a heavy aircraft electrical system to power it.
@@jimrichardson8852 Ah that could be yes, I doesn't know that side of the ww2 history.
That is really interesting to know, thank you for the information.
I appreciate that a lot of foreign people don't understand the difference between 'England' and 'the United Kingdom' but the reference to "England" at 1.45 should refer to the United Kingdom and the attack by mini-subs referred to at 2.00 should actually refer to Scotland, not England. Saying that the attack came from England is a bit like saying that Hitler was born in Germany.
I only goes by the information I found online
Mega Video!! Danke👍
Thank you 🙂
Gerne😉
Maybe less music and tell us what we are looking at.
It is relics from the Tirpitz among other items from the war in the museum.
Very well done and a very interesting documentary. Just one small point to help you out. In the End Credits, it says “In memory off”. I think you mean “In memory OF”. There is only ONE “F” in the word “OF”. !!

Way too much over dramatic music
I'm sorry you didn't like it, but the war was dramatic itself.
Would love to visit as fascinated by the story & by Norwegian resistance during the war. Any recommendations welcome. Best wishes from Ireland 🇮🇪
Since I'm from the northern part of Norway I can recommend visiting up here. But there are many places to seeing ww2 related and with histories. Narvik museum is a place I can really recommend visiting, also Norwegian Aviation Museum in Bodø is where you can find a lot of planes like U2 and others.
Absolutely fantastic, I was fascinated with the Bismarck but know little about the Tirpitz apart from the fact it was sank by the allies, these ships must of been terrifying to come across back in the day, what an absolute monster of a battleship 😱😱👍🏻👍🏻
I have heard about Tirpitz since I was really young, and later when grown up I heard about Bismarck and a little of its destiny. Yes they were really big and powerful/scary. And cool fact, when they build this bridge in 2013, they found a bomb in the ocean from mini-uboats that they had to blow up 🙂
@@ArcticExploring wow, I bet that’s one of many yet to be discovered. Thanks so much for sharing, it was really interesting 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 (I’ve no idea why I said giro….now edited 🤣)
@@hvee4 Hehe no problem mate.
I think the local divers have found most of the bombs and relics now, but there is strong current so could be out in deeper water some more bombs.
Unlike her sister ship the Bismarck whose active service life was very brief and destructive the Tirpitz became a protected queen, however no warship in history was ever targeted as much as her. Countless air attacks, foiled submarine attacks, successful mini X craft attacks. She was continually the prime target. She
may never had fired her main artillery at another warship but she was responsible for tying up so many allied resources solely by her existence alone.
Das Modell des Schlachtschiffes im Tirpitz-Museum ist nicht original getreu, da auf den ersten Blick auf den Türmen "Bruno und Caesar" der schweren Hauptartellerie die seit 1942 montierten kleinere Flaktürmchen mit den 2cm. Vierling fehlen. Desweiteren muß gesagt werden, daß der Angriff am 12.11.44 auf das Wunderschöne Schlachtschiff völlig Unverständlich und Unnötig war, wie 3 Monate später die Zerstörung der Stadt Dresden. Das ganze war und ist ein absoluter Racheakt der Westallierten gewesen, der bei Ihrem Anspruch auf Fairplay, Demokratie und Freiheit das ganze als ad absurdum gelegt wird! Den gefallenen tapferen Soldaten und Seeleuten ein Ewiges Gedenken, Ruhet in Frieden liebe Kameraden.
I haven't studied the model so I can't tell
Nice video. What a waste of life and a cool ship.
Thank you.
Yes it is sad about the ww2 in general.
