U-Boat 110, Electric Control Room by Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums Via Flickr: This photograph shows the U-Boat 110, a German Submarine that was sunk and risen in 1918. This photograph shows the Submarine's Electric Control Room, including its switch gear. Reference: DS.SWH/5/3/2/14/1/58 This image is taken from an album of photographs found in the Swan Hunter shipbuilders collection at Tyne & Wear Archives. The album is from 1918 and documents the U.B. 110 before she was scrapped on the dry docks of Swan Hunter Wigham Richardson Ltd, Wallsend. The twin-screw German submarine U.B. 110 was built by Blohm & Voss, Hamburg. On the 19th July 1918, when attacking a convoy of merchant ships near Hartlepool, she herself was attacked by H.M. Motor-Launch No. 263 and suffered from depth charges. Coming to the surface she was rammed by H.M.S. Garry, a torpedo boat destroyer, and sunk. In September she was salvaged and placed in the admiralty dock off Jarrow slake. She was then berthed at Swan Hunter's dry docks department with an order to restore her as a fighting unit. The Armistice on 11th November 1918 caused work on her to be stopped. She was towed on the 19th December 1918 from Wallsend to the Northumberland Dock at Howdon and was subsequently sold as scrap. The album of photographs, taken by Frank & Sons of South Shields, documents the U.B. 110 in extensive detail. The photographs provide a rare glimpse into the mechanics and atmosphere of the raised German submarine. More images of the U-Boat 110 can be viewed here.

A soldier of the 7th Cameronians stands next to half-completed German U-boats in the docks at Bremen, 1945. I read that the Germans had a sub (s) being built at the end of the war, that could dive to 700 feet, and stay down for 7 days. I will have to find that article again. Had they deployed them they would have been invincible and lethal to the allies.

Das Boot (1981). A German U-boat stalks the frigid waters of the North Atlantic as its young crew experience the sheer terror and claustrophobic life of a submariner in World War II.
It's always interesting to watch war films from the perspectives of the losing side, and WWII tends to generate particularly eviscerating ones. Like Land of Mine - another film I was profoundly affected by - Das Boot creates an unending sense of dread and tension, but where Land of Mine thrives in the open unknown, Das Boot excels in the claustrophia of the closed known. It's gutting and it feels senseless, which makes it a pretty perfect war film. 9/10.

i think the terror amc enjoyers could really like Das Boot (2018-) it has a lot of that
hateful sexual tension between a captain and his second in command
20 unwashed white men you'll struggle to tell apart
navy uniforms and silly hats
claustrophobia and misery
and 1 sad alcoholic

Huge key art (18,750px aka 62.5 inches wide!) for U-boat Wargamers on Sky History UK. January 1943: Britain is on the brink of starvation from ruthless Nazi attacks on merchant ships. The Navy cannot spare any men. Enter the WRNS (Women’s Royal Navy Service) to war game the tactics to defeat the enemy U-Boats.
