SILENT SERVICE TV SHOW U-47 IN SCAPA FLOW GERMAN U-BOAT ATTACK ON HMS ROYAL OAK 24724
“U-47 in Scapa Flow” is a 1958 black-and-white episode of the docudrama “The Silent Service” — a show that was typically about the U.S. Navy's submarine fleet. This particular episode is different in that it tells the story of a German U-boat. "Silent Service" episodes were based on fact and the realism was heightened by actual use of combat footage from the files of the Navy. The stories were varied between the South Pacific during World War II and the Korean War. The series was the brainchild of Rear Admiral Thomas M.

The Most Impossible U-Boat Target of WW2
During the early days of World War 2, the Kriegsmarine sent their U-47 Type VIIB submarine on a one-way mission that was believed to be impossible to achieve.
Led by Captain Gunther Prien, the secret operation consisted of infiltrating the Royal Navy’s most important naval base. Scapa Flow was located in the Orkney Islands in Scotland, and the objective was to do as much damage as possible to the British fleet stationed there.
It was a crazy mission, and even the toughest of sailors doubted that it could be done.
Nevertheless, one cold morning in October of 1939, Captain Prien and his crew set course for Scapa Flow to prove that the Royal Navy was not invincible and that they weren’t afraid of it…

Kriegsmarine WW2 Flugzeugträger B Images HD - Kriegsmarine WW2 Flugzeugträger B Bilder HD
El Flugzeugträger B (en alemán portaaviones B) iba a ser el 2º portaaviones de la Kriegsmarine, gemelo del Graf Zeppelin, pero se canceló su construcción en septiembre de 1939.
El contrato para la construcción del buque, fue firmado con la Friedrich Krupp Germaniawerft de Kiel en 1938, planeándose su botadura el 1 de julio de 1940. El casco nunca fue botado, y su construcción fue detenida el 19 de septiembre de 1939. El desguace del incompleto portaaviones comenzó el 28 de febrero de 1940, iniciando así un proceso que duró cuatro meses.
La Kriegsmarine nunca llegó a dar nombre al buque debido a su tradición de asignar el nombre al buque en su botadura y no antes, por lo que solo tuvo la designación "B" ("A" fue la designación del Graf Zeppelin hasta su botadura). Si hubiera llegado a com...

Created during WWI, this silent, tinted documentary film presents the exploits of the U-35 with inter title cards in English.
SM U-35 was a German U 31-class U-boat which operated in the Mediterranean Sea during World War I. It ended up being the most successful submarine participating in the war, sinking 224 ships for a total of 539,741 tons.
Her longest serving captain was Lothar von Arnauld de la Perière, who is famous for scrupulous adherence to prize rules, allowing crews of enemy merchant ships to board their lifeboats and giving them directions to the nearest port before sinking their ships. Under his command, U-35 claimed to have sunk 195 ships, making him the most successful submarine commander in history.
U-35 was developed by engineer Hans Techel and his drafts also formed the basis for the dual-covered, high-sea U-boats numbered U-51 through U-56, U-63 through U-65, and U-81 through U-86. U-35 's keel was laid on 20 December 1912 at the Friedrich Krupp Germaniawerft shipyard in Kiel. Its delivery date was supposed to be 1 March 1914, but it was delayed due to development problems with its diesel engine. U-35 officially entered service on 3 November 1914, under the command of Kapitänleutnant Waldemar Kophamel. The lead engineer was Hans Fechter. It sailed with the II Flottille, stationed in Helgoland.
U-35 completed its first two deployments in reconnaissance actions in the North Sea. In its following three actions, U-35 sunk 17 merchant ships, for a total of 25,716 gross register tons (GRT). Later, it was paired with U-34 after a battle near Cattaro, Montenegro, and sunk three merchant ships for a total of 4,067 GRT. U-35 made two more voyages and destroyed 15 more merchant ships totaling 59,409 GRT. These included on 23 October 1915 the British transport Marquette in the Aegean Sea. She was carrying an Ammunition Column of the 29th Division; and also staff of the 1st New Zealand Stationary Hospital, despite a British hospital ship the Grantully Castle sailing on the same route on the same day.
On 18 November 1915, Kptlt. de la Perière took command of U-35. He led 15 missions, primarily in the Mediterranean, and sank 189 merchant ships for a total of 446,708 GRT. Additionally, U-35 sank the British gunboat HMS Primula on 29 February 1916 and the French gunboat Rigel on 2 October 1916.
On 26 February 1916, she successfully torpedoed and sank the Armed merchant cruiser La Provence, carrying 1,800 French troops, near Cerigo Island with a loss of 990 men.
U-35 's fourteenth patrol (26 July to 20 August 1916) under de la Perière stands as the most successful submarine patrol of all time. During that period, 54 merchant ships totaling 90,350 GRT were sunk.
She also sank on 4 October 1916, the French transport ship Gallia, leading to the death of between 600 and 1,800 men.
Kptlt. Ernst von Voigt took command of U-35 on 17 March 1918. He undertook two patrols, an enemy engagement and a redeployment cruise, between 7 September and 9 October 1918, but both were promptly broken off because of engine damage. On 14 October 1918, Kptlt.. Heino von Heimburg took command and U-35 was transferred to Kiel.
After World War I ended, U-35 was transferred to England and docked in Blyth from 1919 to 1920, then broken up.

“U-47 in Scapa Flow” is a 1958 black-and-white episode of the docudrama “The Silent Service” — a show that was typically about the U.S. Navy's submarine fleet. This particular episode is different in that it tells the story of a German U-boat. "Silent Service" episodes were based on fact and the realism was heightened by actual use of combat footage from the files of the Navy. The stories were varied between the South Pacific during World War II and the Korean War. The series was the brainchild of Rear Admiral Thomas M. Dykers, who retired from the Navy in 1949 after 22 years service and introduces this episode.
This episode stars Carleton Young as Richards, John Wengraf as Donitz, Kurt Krueger as Hauser and Werner Klemperer as Captian Prien. The plot is based on the daring mission of the U-47, which penetrated the British home waters near Scapa Flow to attempt to cripple the Royal Navy.
The episode includes footage shot at the U.S. Navy's submarine school in New London at the start. It also uses captured German footage to show the start of the U-47's patrol and underway. The interior of the U-boat however is an American submarine used in "Silent Service" episodes.
German submarine U-47 was a Type VIIB U-boat of Nazi Germany's navy (Kriegsmarine) during World War II.She was laid down on 25 February 1937 at Friedrich Krupp Germaniawerft in Kiel as yard number 582 and went into service on 17 December 1938 under the command of Captain Günther Prien.
During U-47's career, she sank a total of 31 enemy vessels and damaged eight more, including the British battleship HMS Royal Oak on 14 October 1939. U-47 ranks as one of the most successful German U-boats of World War II.
On 8 October 1939, U-47 began her second patrol. On 14 October 1939 (six days after leaving port), she succeeded in penetrating the Royal Navy's primary base at Scapa Flow.[8] Although most of the Home Fleet was not at the base at the time, U-47 managed to find a target, the battleship HMS Royal Oak.[9] Once she had spotted Royal Oak, she opened fire with her torpedoes. Her first two salvos did nothing more than sever an anchor chain. After reloading the bow tubes the last salvo of three torpedoes struck the British warship, causing severe flooding. Taking on a list of 15 degrees, her open portholes were submerged, worsening the flooding and increasing the list to 45 degrees; Royal Oak sank within 15 minutes with the loss of over 800 men. Following the attack, Prien received the nickname Der Stier von Scapa Flow ("The Bull of Scapa Flow"); the emblem of a snorting bull was then painted on the conning tower of U-47 and the image soon became the emblem of the entire 7th U-boat Flotilla. Prien was awarded the Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross, the first sailor of a U-boat and the second member of the Kriegsmarine to receive this decoration. The rest of the crew members were awarded the Iron Cross. Two other U-47 crew members also earned the Knight's Cross later on during World War II: the chief engineer (Leitender Ingenieur) Johann-Friedrich Wessels and 1st watch officer (I. Wachoffizier) Engelbert Endrass.
Many years later, in September 2002, one of the unexploded torpedoes that U-47 had fired during the attack on Royal Oak rose to the surface from its resting place on the bottom. The unexploded torpedo, minus its warhead, gradually drifted towards the shore, where it was spotted by a crewman aboard the Norwegian tanker Petrotrym. A Royal Navy tugboat intercepted the torpedo, and after identifying it as having belonged to U-47 63 years earlier, EOD (explosive ordnance disposal) personnel discarded it a mile from shore.

“U-47 in Scapa Flow” is a 1958 black-and-white episode of the docudrama “The Silent Service” — a show that was typically about the U.S. Navy's submarine fleet. This particular episode is different in that it tells the story of a German U-boat. "Silent Service" episodes were based on fact and the realism was heightened by actual use of combat footage from the files of the Navy. The stories were varied between the South Pacific during World War II and the Korean War. The series was the brainchild of Rear Admiral Thomas M. Dykers, who retired from the Navy in 1949 after 22 years service and introduces this episode.
This episode stars Carleton Young as Richards, John Wengraf as Donitz, Kurt Krueger as Hauser and Werner Klemperer as Captian Prien. The plot is based on the daring mission of the U-47, which penetrated the British home waters near Scapa Flow to attempt to cripple the Royal Navy.
The episode includes footage shot at the U.S. Navy's submarine school in New London at the start. It also uses captured German footage to show the start of the U-47's patrol and underway. The interior of the U-boat however is an American submarine used in "Silent Service" episodes.
German submarine U-47 was a Type VIIB U-boat of Nazi Germany's navy (Kriegsmarine) during World War II.She was laid down on 25 February 1937 at Friedrich Krupp Germaniawerft in Kiel as yard number 582 and went into service on 17 December 1938 under the command of Captain Günther Prien.
During U-47's career, she sank a total of 31 enemy vessels and damaged eight more, including the British battleship HMS Royal Oak on 14 October 1939. U-47 ranks as one of the most successful German U-boats of World War II.
On 8 October 1939, U-47 began her second patrol. On 14 October 1939 (six days after leaving port), she succeeded in penetrating the Royal Navy's primary base at Scapa Flow.[8] Although most of the Home Fleet was not at the base at the time, U-47 managed to find a target, the battleship HMS Royal Oak.[9] Once she had spotted Royal Oak, she opened fire with her torpedoes. Her first two salvos did nothing more than sever an anchor chain. After reloading the bow tubes the last salvo of three torpedoes struck the British warship, causing severe flooding. Taking on a list of 15 degrees, her open portholes were submerged, worsening the flooding and increasing the list to 45 degrees; Royal Oak sank within 15 minutes with the loss of over 800 men. Following the attack, Prien received the nickname Der Stier von Scapa Flow ("The Bull of Scapa Flow"); the emblem of a snorting bull was then painted on the conning tower of U-47 and the image soon became the emblem of the entire 7th U-boat Flotilla. Prien was awarded the Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross, the first sailor of a U-boat and the second member of the Kriegsmarine to receive this decoration.

During the early days of World War 2, the Kriegsmarine sent their U-47 Type VIIB submarine on a one-way mission that was believed to be impossible to achieve.
Led by Captain Gunther Prien, the secret operation consisted of infiltrating the Royal Navy’s most important naval base. Scapa Flow was located in the Orkney Islands in Scotland, and the objective was to do as much damage as possible to the British fleet stationed there.
It was a crazy mission, and even the toughest of sailors doubted that it could be done.
Nevertheless, one cold morning in October of 1939, Captain Prien and his crew set course for Scapa Flow to prove that the Royal Navy was not invincible and that they weren’t afraid of it…

El Flugzeugträger B (en alemán portaaviones B) iba a ser el 2º portaaviones de la Kriegsmarine, gemelo del Graf Zeppelin, pero se canceló su construcción en septiembre de 1939.
El contrato para la construcción del buque, fue firmado con la Friedrich Krupp Germaniawerft de Kiel en 1938, planeándose su botadura el 1 de julio de 1940. El casco nunca fue botado, y su construcción fue detenida el 19 de septiembre de 1939. El desguace del incompleto portaaviones comenzó el 28 de febrero de 1940, iniciando así un proceso que duró cuatro meses.
La Kriegsmarine nunca llegó a dar nombre al buque debido a su tradición de asignar el nombre al buque en su botadura y no antes, por lo que solo tuvo la designación "B" ("A" fue la designación del Graf Zeppelin hasta su botadura). Si hubiera llegado a completarse, hubiera recibido el nombre de Peter Strasser en honor al comandante en jefe de la fuerza aérea (Luftschiffer) de la Primera Guerra Mundial Peter Strasser.1 Pero el nombre nunca fue confirmado.

Kriegsmarine tidak pernah menamai kapal ini sebelum diluncurkan, sehingga diberi kode "A" sebelum dia beroperasi. Kontrak untuk membuat kapal ini telah diberikan kepada Friedrich Krupp Germaniawerft di Kiel pada 1936. Kapal induk ini mempunyai penampilan yang konvensional, dan dimaksudkan untuk didukung oleh skuadron Me-109 dan Ju87 disesuaikan untuk tugas Kapal Induk. Kapal ini dipesan pada 16 November 1935 dan mulai dibangun pada 28 Desember 1936 oleh Deutsche Werke dari Kiel.[2]
Rencana persiapan operasinya adalah bahwa Kapal Induk Jerman ini akan menjadi bagian dari suatu armada penyerangan perniagaan dan dapat melakukan banyak tugas-tugas sesuai keperluan yang kurang dapat dilakukan oleh armada Kriegsmarine. Tirpitz dan Bismarck dibuat untuk menyerang dan mengganggu kapal perdagangan barang, skuadron udara milik Kapal Induk dapat mencari kapal dagang musuh dan melindungi kapal perang penjelajah dari serangan udara dan kapal tempur sekutu jika diperlukan.
Sesuai dengan persyaratan dari perjanjian kelautan Anglo-Jerman pada 1935, Angkatan Laut Jerman diizinkan untuk memiliki kapal induk seberat sekitar 42.672 ton/42.000 ton dan dua kapal dengan berat maksimal 20.000 ton. Desainer Jerman tidak berpengalaman dalam desain kapal induk, dan cacat terlihat dalam kebutuhan untuk kecepatan tinggi, perlindungan yang baik dan persenjataan berat yang kurang. Pengendalian kapal yang baik dalam kecepatan tinggi diperlukan dan desainnya mengembangkan lambung panjang dengan ruang kosong yang cukup. Hangar besar dengan tiga elevator dan dua ketapel juga standar. Dek penerbangan sangat berat sehingga tambahan tonjolan lambung diperlukan untuk menambah kekuatan, dek penerbangan juga berakhir dekat busur seperti pada desain Jepang. Tonase yang diizinkan di bawah perjanjian 1935 meningkat sebesar 50 persen selama pelaksanaan konstruksi.
Masalah pada desain terus berlanjut terutama pada ketapel dan pesawat. Masalah yang terjadi pada pesawat disebabkan oleh petinggi Luftwaffe yang menuntut pasukan udara akan berada di bawah kontrol mereka, bukan Kriegsmarine. Persengketaan ini memperlambat desain pesawat terbang yang dibutuhkan untuk tugas kapal induk dan memperlambat waktu pengoperasian kapal induk ini
