I’m no diver and as a matter of fact, if you get me into the ocean above my ankles, you’ve accomplished something. The History X video caught my eye because of the U Boat. The video was interesting and entertaining. What I was curious about was, where did the deck gun go? You’d think if the forward gun was blown off, at that depth it would have landed next to the wreck. Also, you’re getting too much hate for you’re music selection. That’s U96 Das Boat… I’m not ashamed to admit I have it on CD. 😂

Thanks for listening to the History X podcast watching my video. The late war type IXC40 variant had the forward and aft deck guns removed. Larger AA weapons were fitted to the conning tower. This was because the U boats were no longer dominant of the surface due to allied presence and aircraft dominating the N Atlantic. The big deck gun added weight and slowed the time required for a crash dive. If you want to learn more about the U869 late war modifications go to my website www.u869.com Thank you!

Hi Mr Kohler, I'm absolutely dying to see your Britannic documentary, do you have a rough ETA on that? I only recently learned about your exploits after going down the U869 rabbit hole. You guys are next level, massive respect! Also, I'd love to check out some wrecks in the Solent, do you have any recommendations for a fairly new diver? I'm certified to 35M currently but chipping away at Dive Leader to get down to 50M. Thank you so much! Edit: Watching now, I didn't realize it was out already. I'd read somewhere you've been diving it more recently and exploring further into the wreck.

Back in the 70’s, divers removed German remains, and displayed them in a Nags Head dive shop. The West German government got wind of it, and furiously protested to the state department, demanding that U-85 be designated a war grave.

I read and re read Shadow Divers after seeing the PBS documentary. I started diving a little later in life having grown up on a steady diet of Sea Hunt and the Undersea World of Jacques Cousteau, and started racking up dives and training to eventually be able to dive the wrecks of the Great Lakes. All that recently came crashing down around me when my wife and I lost our son. I promised her then I would keep it recreational from now on. In the book, you chose family and I believe you made the right choice. Through the book, the TV series, podcasts and so forth you have become an inspirational diver to me. We now live in the Caribbean and I dive quite a bit. I find peace in the underwater world. Thank you for sharing your adventures with us. Please keep going.

Remarkable dive and discovery. At least the crew is remembered after your intense work. I find it difficult to forgive anyone in the service of Nazi Germany, but as sailors attempting to do a job and not get killed, well, they're just men like the rest of us. They paid the highest and worst price. God grant them peace and rest.

Actually, congratulations to you for your accomplishment on your recent certification! You are correct you did hear the helium in my voice, and as I am diving a rebreather, you are not hearing any bubbles and you can hear me talking through the breathing loop. My bottom time on the bottom was about 40 minutes And I believe that my total runtime, including decompression was probably 2 1/2 hours
