I just visited U-505 August 1, 2023 and was quite impressed with the tour.

@19:54 the guide mentions the fate of the crew after their capture. He mentions how they were sent to a prisoner of war camp in Louisiana where they worked on a farm and played baseball. My friend, Gary W. Moore, wrote a book describing how his father Gene Moore, a guard at the camp and former miner leaguer for the Brooklyn Dodgers, came up with the idea to teach the prisoners the game. The book's title is Playing With The Enemy. This incredible story of Gene's pre and post war life might never have happened had it not been for a casual lunch in Chicago prior to a routine doctors visit Gary had with his father prior to that appointment. I won't ruin it except to say that what Gene told his son was completely mind blowing.

At 08:07 I don't mean to rain on your parade but that is not even close to what active sonar sounds like. The link at the end is the real deal probably recorded in the 1950's onboard a real US sub. Unlike the made up garbage hollywood gives us you have to listen closely to hear the pings. listen very closely. it is there but you have to know what to listen for! Its a short pulse length and pinging on a very short range scale meaning the ship searching for you is close and probably has a good target firing solution on you. See if you can find it! We listened to hours of real audio recording in sonar school and then in the real world. I believe the American DE's used Mk 9 depth charges on U- 505 so at 500 feet the time it took after they were dropped till they went off was about 23 seconds (22 feet per sec). Subs "vent" air from their ballast tanks to fill them with water, they "blow" them to surface. archive.hnsa.org/sound/soundinthesea/track32.mp3

I heard when you go hear at night you can hear doors slam and noise in and out of the ship and the manikins creep me out.

I toured the U-505 in 1995 Looks like the tour has really evolved. The use of wood that anything wasn't needed for strength was great

I would love to go on this tour if I am ever in Chicago. Unfortunately it is a few thousand miles away (I am in the UK). The 'bathrooms' are not actually bathrooms, just toilets. As I found from watching another video there were no washing facilities. Presumably because they couldn't spare the room or the water. With 59 men on three-month tours the smell must have been overpowering. Also how did men off-duty manage to sleep with all that noise?

@@slowhypno Very true. And surely no more than when you are inside a metal tube with 58 other unwashed men. And knowing that if the sub is hit you might slowly suffocate inside that tube, or if you are lucky merely drown as the sub implodes. The crew of the Kursk weren't lucky...

Thank you for filming that tour and the possibility to take a look inside the U-Boot. I visited all the other german WW2 submarines so far in Germany. I hope to visit U-505 in the next couple of years. :)
