what is the name of the music at the end?

1:06.00. Ha. They mis-spelled Wilhelmshaven.
-
52:00. They're describing a line that moves further west as more escorts become available. This part is a bit incoherent.
-
Lots of British and American fluff but it was the Canadian Merchant Marine that did it.

U stands for underwater, because where most boats are A-boats (above water) U boats go under the water like a fish or an eel or a cat if that cat happens to be swimming underwater. My cat's breath smells like cat food

1:29 shows Russian sub mariner not a German
-
the u-boats are under construction in spain or in portugal?

Navy technology has always been much more advanced than that in land warfare. I would even suggest that land warfare of WW2 was relatively primitive, especially in Eastern Front.

This production seems to be about how the British conquered the Germans, barely even mentioning the massive contributions of all the other nations that sacrificed men and boys to supply Great Britain and defeat the Germans. Who kept the British supplied with essential materials, without which they would not have been able to keep up the fight? These convoys of supplies are the heart of the U-Boat story (it is what they specifically targeted) yet it is barely mentioned. What a disgustingly poor production to ignore the key contributions of the US, Canada and other allied nations. These nations provided the supplies, supply ships, escort vessels, aircraft, ports and hundreds of thousands of personnel, and lost many lives doing so, so that the British could remain alive and free. The participation of these nations were not merely footnotes in this story as this show seems to think.

There were more Corvettes built in Britain than Canada and USA. also IT WAS THE Royal Navy that got the Enigma machine not the Allies.
-
4:53 it was carrying war supplies, so the US and British GOVERNMENT were responsible for all the loss of life, not the Germans, 5:25 HMS Sydney was supposed to have been sunk by a unmarked German ship posing as a merchant and again Germany was only doing as the allies were doing, yet Germans where the bad ones

This documentary was informative but a bit long winded. Information I have not seen in other documentaries was the British, American and German naval command in the years between the wars. Good information but not really relevant; these people were never mentioned in the rest of the film. I felt that the whole production was rich in similar fillers, stretching a good 45 minute documentary into a mediocre 90 minute one. It was also lacking in first hand accounts, something I really enjoy in similar productions.

ære til alle officerer som stod for operasjoner. Og officerer som mottok orderer og ikke minst til alle sjømen

too many commercials
-
There is too much fluff in this documentary.
-
Let me get this straight....For all the talk we hear of the U-boats and WW2, the REAL submarine war was in WW1, when almost twice the ships were sunk {over 5,000}?

I cannot help but hear it as "Admiral Donuts".
