U-Boat War Collection Set

DVD quality is generally good to satisfactory. In short, this is a very informative and comprehensive set of documentaries. Very highly recommended.


Best U-Boat documentary to surface in a long time   May 20, 2001
This is an extremely interesting and highly informative documentary in three parts. Each segment is roughly 50 minutes long and covers the broad history of U-Boats during WWII. There is much archival footage which I have never seen before, all of which is excellent. The film reveals a visual history of U-Boats that really brings history alive. Much of the footage is somewhat obscure (and rarely seen) and focuses on daily activities including the minute details of life on a U-Boat, something which other documentaries on the subject seldom present in depth. Commentary is quite good and includes interviews with leading aces as well as historians. It appears to be a British or Canadian production (additionally, there is a reference to the Discovery Channel in the closing credits). The material is highly organized and can probably be considered required viewing for many U-Boat history enthusiasts.

Grew Beared Captain and crews were greeted by women with Flowers and Military Band.
Soon or Later, They will go out for anather Opertation like Destroying Amweican Cargos

After the U-Boat crossed the Atlantic Ocan,America became vulernabble objects from New York
to Florida. At that times,US Coast Guards were essntially ,entirely unprepared to Attacking U-Boat.
Without any warnings from US Coast Guard, They were attacked, and sunk to bottom of the sea.
