Comments by "" (@Crashed131963) on "The RAF VS Hitler's Deadliest Battleship (WW2 Documentary) | Secret History | Timeline" video.
Not down playing but a battleship in late Nov 1944 was a non issue. It was suicidal to be in a U-Boat at this point. It could not leave it,s hiding spot and the German Air force was all but gone from there. The Lancasters did not even need fighter escorts at this point. More like lets sink her because there is not much else do do with these bombers at this late stage of the war. Could Germany even Fuel up the ship at this point in the war?

This video completely overdramatized the Tirpitz threat. Germany was lucky if they had fuel to spare for this ship in Nov 1944. It was suicidal for a U-Boat to sail out without a snorkel. German Air Force and Navy personnel were being sent to fight on the ground as most squadrons and ships had no fuel supplies. Risk those RAF pilots for a parked Ship 5 months before the Russians entered Berlin is nuts.

The Tirpitz did not even have fuel at this stage (Nov 1944) , what are you talking about? Battleship were obsolete when the Brizmark was still afloat 3 years before this. The last and only time the Tirpitz used it main 15" Guns was in Sept 1943 to bombaried a Norwegian coastal city over a year prior . Even the U-Boats in late 1944 were suicidal to go out to sea in with the Radar and the allies had 98% control of the air.

They were obosette in 1941 let alone Nov 1944 5 months before Russia entered Berlin. The last and only time the Tirpitz used it main 15" Guns was in Sept 1943 to bombaried a Norwegian coastal city over a year prior .

Curious to know how many U-Boats could be built from the material and labor needed to build a Battleship?

@byza101 This Video very overdramatized the threat of the Tirpitz in late 1944.

@Slaktrax How do you not know about low U-Boat Losses and Germane Fighter defences being low. When they bombed Dresden 3 months after this event the Bomber did not need fighter escort any longer.

This is Nov 1944 , by this stage the Japan had no Navy as it was completely decimated at Leyte Gulf a month before. This video completely overdramatized the Tirpitz threat. Germany was lucky if they had fuel to spare for this ship. It was suicidal for a U-Boat to sail out without a snorkel.

My guess is by Nov 1944 the German radar crew knew the German planes had no fuel and it was pointless to call.
