On April 6, 1945, the German U-1206 submarine set sail from Kristiansand, Norway, on a mission that would quickly go down in history as a catastrophic and hilariously tragic misadventure. This was no ordinary naval mishap—an accident with the sub’s toilets caused flooding, panic, and a disaster that left the crew scrambling for their lives.
Comedians Robert Bacon and Mike Kauffman dive into the unbelievable story of a top-secret U-boat undone not by enemy fire, but by human error and a malfunctioning latrine. From engineering blunders to desperate attempts to save the sub, it’s a darkly funny tale of World War II’s oddest naval catastrophe—where the real enemy might just have been bathroom plumbing.It’s history, hygiene, and hilarity all rolled into one unforgettable Mistakes Were Made episode.
