August 27, 1942. A deadly game of cat and mouse in the Caribbean Sea turns into one of the most chaotic boarding parties of World War II.
Crippled by depth charges, the German U-Boat U-94 is forced to the surface. Its hunter, the Canadian corvette HMCS Oakville, doesn’t hesitate. She attacks with everything she’s got – machine-guns, Coke bottles, before she rams directly into the U-Boat.
But the true chaos begins when Canadian Sub-lieutenant Hal Lawrence leads a daring boarding party onto the sinking submarine. Lawrence executes one of the most unusual boarding actions in naval history wearing absolutely nothing but a lifejacket!
Hold onto your pants for this epic WWII true story.

Naked Canadian sailor! 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
the real Mr. Balls
Another bedtime nappy story 😂
I like how you get out of your way to block the parts you cant show with other props of the uboat/boat instead of blurring
7:00 That is not a 9mm bullet casing
Reminder,also in that situation the Canadian army fought at the U.S army side! Shame on Trumpf government
Why do they always ram it?
There are so many things wrong with this story.
The Canadians don't get near enough recognition for their service in WW2. I thank the Canadians for their service. God bless.🫡🇨🇦
А як же В/С КНДР на території РФ-ІЇ Й ВОЮЮТЬ ПРОТИ ЗСУ.
ЦЕ ЩО НЕ Є ОГОЛОШЕННЯ ВІЙНИ ПРОТИ УКРАЇНИ.
А як же В/С КНДР в РФ-ІЇ що ВОЮЮТЬ.???ЦЕ НЕ Є НЕОГОЛОШЕНА ВІЙНА КНДР проти УКРАЇНИ.?😮
Oh i thought that u-baot was restored lol
I’ve never been prouder to be a Canadian. Fighting without shorts 🤣🤣🇨🇦
My grandfather was on a corvette in the canadian navy, he was an orlican gunner
yea
My father who flew as a radioman gunner on PBY's started flying the Caribbean out of Panama in March 1943. He said at that time they were still using depth charges pulled from World War I destroyers with a latch attached to them so they could carry them on the wings of a PBY. They hadn’t made depth charges since World War I, and all the new production went to destroyers in the Atlantic and Pacific.
Man I feel bad for the Germans 6:14
Canada 2026 “don’t worry. I identify as female”
Not all heroes wear cape. Some wear…
Full of Rubbish😂😂😂😂
Чепуха,в плен взяты только 4немца,а экипаж лодки не меньше 30 человек,брехня…..
Naked sailors. Gunfights between submarine and battleship crews. Ramming vessels nonstop.
Most metal WWII story in history.
7:11Would shit myself if I see that coming to me 😅😂
Жігіттер арасында Неміс пен Ағылшынша сөйлегендерін орысшаға аударып көрсетіңдерші
now this is fan-service along with Ram Ranch
Yarnhub you are simply top notch 👏🏾👏🏾
Это реальный бой ?
何かの間違いで臨検されるとしても理解できる自信がある。
抵抗もしない。
臨検隊が裸のマグナムを持って突入してきたなら、海に飛び込む。
11:05 poor Germans, they were held at gunpoint with 2 pistols
What about Catalina crew?
The title got me here😅
Crazy story and animation👏
Using a glass bottle is better than reloading
If I was a German in that situation, I’d be like “do it now, don’t wait”
"U-94 scores a kill in the dark"
Cheap AI slop… I'd rather be watching cartoons.
US creator i suppose, why the US join the war at late game and become the winner at the end even not they bussiness since first time? suspicious
What a bunch of mad lads
i wonder what those gunners were thinking when they fired at the u-boat when in halted directly besidee them
Captain Otto Ites later became Rear Admiral in then west German navy
They aimed at the Germans with a different type of rifle. 😭😭
