They Captured a Nazi Submarine Alive… What Was Inside Changed the War

Why USS Pillsbury tried to board a sinking enemy submarine packed with explosives in World War Two — and pulled off something the United States Navy had not done in one hundred twenty-nine years. This story reveals how eight American sailors leapt onto a circling U-boat and risked everything. June 4, 1944. Lieutenant Junior Grade Albert David, assistant engineering officer aboard USS Pillsbury, saw a German submarine surface about seven hundred yards away. The U-boat was damaged, taking on water, and wired with demolition charges ready to blow. Every rule of naval warfare said to sink it at once. No American warship had boarded an enemy vessel at sea since 1815. The experts insisted it could not be done. They were wrong. What David faced that Sunday morning was not a mission to destroy the enemy, but to capture something in a way that went against everything he had been taught. He had only minutes before the submarine slipped under. German sailors had already opened the sea valves. Time was running out. What his eight-man team uncovered inside that U-boat — and why the Navy kept it secret for more than a year — altered the course of the Atlantic war. Three thousand American sailors who witnessed the capture stayed completely silent. The secret held until Germany surrendered. 🔔 Subscribe for more untold WW2 stories:    /    / @echoesofwar20th   👍 Like this video if you learned something new 💬 Comment below: What other WW2 tactics should we cover? #worldwar2 #ww2history #ww2 #wwii #ww2records ⚠️ Disclaimer: This video presents dramatized storytelling based on historical WW2 events researched from publicly available sources.
