A ridiculous choice of music for this video, unless you take into account the fact that many Irish in WWII were traitors who helped and worked for the Nazis because of their hatred of the British.

Gute Bilder, aber die Musik ist eher gewagt

@m1rock During WW II, the S-boote sank 101 merchant ships totalling 214,728 tons. In addition, they sank 12 destroyers, 11 minesweepers, 8 landing ships, 6 enemy MTBs, a torpedo boat, a minelayer, one submarine and a number of small merchant craft - including killing 800+ US soldiers who were surprised one night on a D Day exercise not much to LOL about. You are right British & US boats were outclassed but they did not run away.

Do any of these craft survive? I'd love to sidle up to the dock at the local yacht club in one of these beauties. "No, Hans!! Don't shoot the tennis instructor!"

being only a boy in ww2 I always wondered how these craft were so successful (we were aware of them because they operated in inland waters) After seeing the hull and learning of the power that drove them it is little wonder. Their losses were remarkably low too I believe. Was the hull not used as the design for german lifeboats after the war Pogues took their name from a well known gaelic expression which means -"kiss my ----

Ive been playing PT boats Knights of the Sea on my PC as the allies. My British MTB's are no match for the German Eboats. When they show up the only thing you can do in a MTB is run away. lol

The Schnellboot or S-boot ("fast craft") was a type of German torpedo boat that saw service during World War II. The S-boote were approximately twice as large as their American and British counterparts, were better suited for the open sea, and had a substantially longer range, at approximately 700 nautical miles. These vessels were known to the Allies as "E-boats"; Music: The Irish Rover-The Pogues
