As a small boy in the UK during WW 1 my dad told me of the effects of u-boat activity on civilians. He told me of smearing a tiny bit of meat on bread as a meal. Churchill would later say that the thing that frightened him most were the u-boats. They came close to starving Britain in both Wars.

Any way possible you could do an episode on Corvette captain Georg von Trapp? You know the guy from the Sound of Music . Under his command, the submarines SM U-5 and SM U-14 sank 13 Allied ships totaling about 45,669 gross register.

Lovely Channel. You should make a boxset with all of them.

u misspelled threat in the description just saying

Tremendously wrong about the Q ships.
They were not meant to lure the U-Boots to use their deck guns to save torpedoes.
They lured in U-Boots, while they (The U-Boots) tried to observe prize regulation rules, and at point blank ranges opened fire from concealed guns.
The nastiest incident of such event, is the Baralong incident.
This did, directly lead to the first wave of unrestricted submarine warfare. -
I love your show you are a great narrator

What was the general maximum depth that a wwi german uboat could suberge to?

Question (possibly) for Out of the Trenches. Does America prove to be more of a Military power or a Political Power in WW1? I've heard both sides that the United States tipped the balance in favor of the Allies, and I've heard that they were more or less a political front which breathed new hope to the exhausting war, and I'm curious to know just what the full truth is.
Great show, as always, keep up the hard work! -
Wow, those British sailors are brutal. They killed all the u-boat survivors?

GREAT VIDEO !!!

How many of these sunken ships and submarines have been found

Ironically it became clear from mid 1916 onwards that Germany was being starved out of the war by the naval blockade. At one point they (the Germans) even had cargo submarines to get in much needed supplies that were dangerously low. Germany knew very well they were being starved out of the war and therefore later resumed unrestricted warfare. I suppose that proves they were willing to risk the neutrality of a few countries...as if invading neutral Belgium in 1914 hadn't proven that already.
Following the Battle of Jutland it was becoming clear the German navy needed its submarines to stretch the Royal Navy "thin" if it was to losen the naval blockade of Germany. Now, that unfortunately becomes difficult when one realizes the limited operational range of WWI submarines and the huge Royal Navy. It also rested on the assumption no new anti-submarine measures would be developed or be effective. -
The advancement of technology was unparalleled to anything that had happened before the Great War

Indonesia during world war 1 plis
During World War 1, German submarines were a major thread to shipping routes of the Entente everywhere. The Royal Navy and and her allies had to come up with defence mechanisms agains the silent hunters. They deployed flying boats and airships to spot the enemy U-Boats, harassed them with depths charges and mines. But the most effective measure against them proved to be the convoy. » HOW CAN I SUPPORT YOUR CHANNEL?
