What a great old film. Thank you. I gave you a thumbs up and subscribed to your channel. I am 78 years old and living on SS and cannot help through Patreon but would if I had any extra money.

Brilliant movie, I'm surprised I haven't seen it before

we can see clearly in the submarine = rare thing! Very few films where we can see well!

Fantastic film ....I just had to watch Those Magnificent Men and Their Flying Mahine with Terry Thomas doing the aristocratic gentleman thing and lording it over his underling manservant.......so typically British.

If the RAF did hit with bullets & rockets in 1 run as instructed,they are better than computer air combat sim gamers & Hollywood aircrew in efficiency.

That was an excellent reenactment, I guess you would call it !

Many things would have been saved,if the UK had prepared for war,instead of appeasing bullies before WW2.If you look at the world now,that lesson seems to have been ignored by many.Sadly & disgustingly,”historians” & “historical” shows villify the PM who didn’t appease bullies,Churchill,instead of the PM who did,Chamberlain.

Amazing old film enjoyed it. Surprised Ive not seen it before.

Waterbombs No Effect to the boat WTF😅😅😅

My father was on this ship in this battle he was a gunner I have pasific star

Were these the largest caliber fully automated naval gun turrets in existence, or was there something larger?

Sub Mariners are very special people. I was a Tanky, when I did my Army exit course at Catterick Camp where I trained when I joined up. I met up with an ex bomber from the Repulse. We went up to Holy Loch where she was being refitted. I saw the "Sherwood Forest" very scary ! He knew some girls who had their own flat and we partied with the crew. They sure know how to party I promise you :) Not just anyone can become a sub mariner, they are a breed apart, and bloody good fun :)

I would have loved to have the luxury of a navigator in the plan with me . Or a Loran or GPS, but VOR and RDF were all that was available 90% of the time. I was flying IFR (I follow road) one night in a rental Cherokee when the cockpit filled with smoke. I cut the main breaker smoke stopped. So I cut all the breakers , turned the main back on , no smoke, then one at a time, I cut them back in . Starting with nav lights. Ths short was in the radio stack. My home field was the closest field, so no course change. I used a handheld navcom to get into the controlled air space, and then it ran out of battery. So I proceeded to mid field entry point and started circling. After a couple of orbits, I was given a flashing green (cleared to land), so I did. I used the phone in the FBO to call the tower to explain my electrical issues . The senior controller told me that the same plan had experienced intermittent radio issues a few days before. It had been checked and cleared for flight without finding a problem. The controller was also a flight instructor, so he had heard about the problem with that plane.

Fastest twin engine aircraft at the time certainly. There were faster single seaters such as late model Spitfires and the first Mustangs and Tempests to name a few on the allied sign that could outrun it. The Germans had a few aces up their sleeve as well, the ME 262 would have been undergoing trials by that time.

The movie is pretty good, but the acting is stilted, yet probably realistic,. I've an interest in Submarines and have built models of them from plastic kits. Photography is the high point and produced during the war years when Submaines were most active would mostly need extra lockouts þhe accents are strange to my ears beccause Im unused to them. Yet having said that I wouldn't have missed it for the world 10/10.

Salem is such a fine ship. If you ever have some free time in Boston, checking out the only surviving heavy cruiser is a good choice

Top notch.

Not seen this film before but it was excellent. Even more authentic as this was an actual Royal Navy submarine crew and not actors playing the part. Thanks for posting this film.

That looks like Cromerty

I had not seen this one, thanks for the upload.

I guess shaking the camera to augmernt the feel of a nearby depth charge explosion was a special effect yet to be invented in 1943.

This might go on for quite a while (depth charges) How about some tea? 😁

My father was on board the Essex when 2 of Indefatigable Seafires made an emergency landing after she got hit.

Listening to these survivors; when human beings are caught up in titanic violent events, the mind cannot comprehend......that silence described by PO Briggs.' At Jutland, a gunnery rating from one of the turrets of a battlecruiser lost there. He said ' everything became deathly silent, and then the guns fell from their trunnions, and water came up the trunk. the bottom must have been out of her'. Probably survived because the heavy armor protected him from the cataclysm.

This is great. My uncle Bart was a tailgunner in Lancasters in the war and he was sent to Love Field in Texas for pilot training for Lancasters and B24s

Marvelous. Some of these wartime training/recruiting films were feature film quality... indeed better than many... and this sure is one of them. Reminds of "Above Us the Waves" in some aspects but this is the real deal. Including the submariners sweaters assuming almost kneelength qualities...! Damp sweaty wool and diesel fuel... you can almost smell it. Thank you so much for posting this gem.

First time I've seen this[somehow], but glad that I have. I bet those three from Norway were thinking twice about getting a ride.

How British all this is! Even the music. Very nice.

..Thank you so much for these fantastic gems really appreciated❤.

Richard Attenborough flying that plane at 1:20...anyway, it sure looks like him

not one battle in the hole movie

Just as amazing as this footage are the comments and stories posted by those on here who in some way have connections to and about the actions with HMS Illustrious and other ships and planes truly incredible thanks to all for sharing your thoughts and experiences and thanks to Armoured Archivist for uploading this video

Dam good

This Movie was ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ And then the Crew picked up Norwegian Resistance Warriors, and this sailed right into my Favorite Collection! 👍 EXCELLENT! Thank you, Armoured Archivist!

I was half thinking the Norwegians were hardened Germans and about to take control of the submarine.......

boring

Funny to see the pom-poms firing from a moving ship at a moving target and yet the guns are not rotating at all.

The cabins on the sub are huge on the TV of course.

After watching I more so appreciate the sacrifices made by these brave souls . My dad and Uncles served in WW2 , sadly they have all passed .

Nice to see a dramatization by the actual participants , a great view into the past !

The Brits lost 74 Subs. that's 22 more than the US did during the war. All on Eternal patrol RIP

This channel never ceases to find unbelievably good content. Thx so much.

Pipe props! Today people saw it as an act! Not a man of action@

It must have been horrible to be lower class in England pre 1940!

The germans had patrol boats after 1943 did they have any naval power?

I think i would have been a bit more cautious taking on 3 abandoned in a boat..

Men tip there hats to approaching ladies in opening sean, some of the niceties that have fallen out of use, along with respect.

I see there is a lot said about German U boats in WW2 on YT but never here about actions taken by British WW2 subs operations

Refreshingly different from other submarine films. I particularly liked the shot of the submarine surfacing alongside the Norwegian fishing boat. Can you imagine what that would have been like if you were out at sea in a vessel like that and suddenly this huge ship rises up from the water?

Quit a tense film for it's time
