Скачать или смотреть The Hooligan Navy: How Ordinary Americans’ Tiny Boats Stopped German U-Boats in WWII

America’s most unusual yet incredibly important wartime force — “The Hooligan Navy.”
During World War II, ordinary civilians used their small boats to create a secret coastal defense force.
Their only mission was simple — spot German U-boats, warn others, and protect the American coastline.

Hundreds of amateur sailors, college students, Boy Scouts, and even former rum-runners
joined together to form the Coastal Picket Patrol.

They never sank a single U-boat…
but they took away the German submarines’ greatest advantage — freedom of movement.

In this video, you’ll learn:
✔ How ordinary boats became a hidden weapon of war
✔ Why German captains were shocked — even amused — when they saw tiny sailboats
✔ How these patrol boats created a massive 550-ship grid along the U.S. coast
✔ And how they rescued hundreds of sinking sailors

This story proves one thing —
wars aren’t won by big fleets alone… they’re won by the determination of ordinary people.
