The second episode begins with the tragic story of the biggest maritime disaster in history; the sinking of the Wilhelm Gustloff, while the Swedes dive down to the wreck Steuben in the Baltic Sea. In the former East Germany there is a chance to explore a Russian submarine, while the adventures and diving around Estonia continues, taking in the sights of Hiiumaa Island and taking a trip to old Soviet bunkers.

The trouble with amateur podcasts is that they are inaccurate and deal more with the idiots making the program and have little to do with the actual events. Most of the content is copied or plagiarised and the music used to dramatize events is too overwhelming. Sadly the mainstream documentaries like NOVA, HORIZON and History are fewer and farther between. Lastly, acts of war are not considered disasters. The comments below say it all. I would advise you skip this one all together. Lastly, who makes a documentary without cameras?
Ur all ignorant
Gopro .
I loved the enthusiasm of the narrator.
I got to 1:19 before I pulled the plug. "Background" music overpowering the narrator.
Didn't hear of it… even after looking it up and trying to research it.
Yeah, what he said. Usually a documentary filmmaker is the one operating the camera and doing the diving. Here, we're constantly being told what the divers are doing, and what's wrong with the cameras. Oh, and watching people eat, and going to places that are full of things that OTHER people collected and curated. Curious…
The man says he only felt a presence on the Titanic, like something bad happened there. But not here. Well, here were just some nazies.
Nothing is perfect. This documentary would be if you would turn the background music a bit low. Except that… Wonderfull
total waste of time. what garbage. where was the "story"?
Music too loud.
If I didn't know what a German submarine was I would have been fooled by the thumbnail. If the story is about a sub don't show a cruise ship please.
It was plain mass murder…. latter thar same rus sub sunk a hospital ship
This video is a great example of why we need to see the number of downvotes on a video. This is simply awful.
Instead of looking for u479……he needs to be looking for a new barber.
The title is deceiving. The "story of the biggest maritime disaster" is actually a side story; it's mostly about a bunch of divers having fun. If that's your gig, fine, but I wanted a more in-depth story of the disaster.
Legend has it that there is dialogue behind the music.
Ive said it a thousand times and I will keep saying it, the music completely spoilt this video, it a totally unnecessary noise that serves no purpose at all
Glad you all remembered the sun glasses. Thats about everything there is to say to this waste of time. 👎🏼💩
Very boring…
There's too much chatting and not enough action. When divers went down, we got no idea what the interiors looked like, preservation etc. Disappointing.
Unfortunately these poor people were not first class deaths like British or Americans. That´s why this is a almost unknown tragedy.
It's funny how YouTube historians have better documentaries than these made for TV crapola. Just missing the 5 minute recap after commercials, going over the last 5 minutes of actual substance, and the rest being TV fluff to extend out the episode for the hour. Stopped having cable 6 years ago, never once have I ever said, gee, I miss having cable.
Terrible documentary.
One guy even tries to hype it up more by saying "Hundreds of Thousands" of people were on the ship, before changing to up to 10k.
Timeline this is a mess
So the title says “the biggest maritime disaster in history”. Really?
Ridiculous overproduction. The narration is fighting the completely unnecessary and overdramatic background music. Also why the smartarse special effects ? Turned off after 4 minutes.
The Russians did with that German ship. Was just as evil sinful and wicked. As what the Germans did with the Lusitania. It was both murder. They will answer for it when they stand before Jesus/God on Judgment Day
You'd think the title would reflect what the documentary was about, not just some jumble of unrelated stories which, while interesting on their own, are not what I clicked on expecting to see.
Like, if the other boats sunk, it seems like it's not a particularly good idea to go out to sea in that same area. If I find myself at sea, it will be because the plane has crashed.
Why not try putting the camera in a big bowl of rice? It worked for all the people I knew who dropped their early smartphones in the toilet (I didn't have one of those for another ten years but I knew of people who had dropped even earlier electronics in some water unintentionally so I gave the suggestion).
They don't want to upset the russians, pussyfooting again. The russians couldn't careless how many they killed.
if i hadnt had pizza i would not have watched as much as i did ..boring and never really get to the sub before i had to put down my pizza and find somthing
Pretty boring
