Submarines today are highly complex machines, crammed with technology and weapons. As impressive as their construction is, as terrifying is their destructive power. Hardly any other weapon triggers as many emotions as the submarine. It strikes from ambush and can use nuclear missiles to drag the whole world into the abyss. Its camouflage is its greatest potential.
The Nazis celebrated the submarine as a miracle weapon. The myth of invincibility has clung to them ever since. Submariners were glorified as heroes by Nazi propaganda. The reality in the Second World War was different: Two thirds of the submariners lost their lives during the missions. The advent of the atomic age also opened up completely new possibilities for the submarine weapon. Nuclear propulsion allowed almost unlimited diving times and a completely new weapon system with ballistic missiles on board. Thus, nuclear submarines became a constant threat in the world's oceans during the Cold War and still are today.
At the same time, submarines are associated with terrible tragedies. The sinking of the Kursk, in which 118 men died in dramatic fashion, is anchored in the collective memory as a trauma. Despite or perhaps because of their danger, submarines have always fascinated us.
Episode 2 shows the development of the submarine in the Second World War until today. The documentary undertakes an exciting and multi-faceted journey through history. Submariners, historians and military experts put the events into context.

Don't be discouraged by your failures. Instead, learn from your mistakes and look for ways you can improve. Learn from your mistakes to improve your future.
Successful Inventions Made from Accident
Inventors make errors. However, how we react to these mistakes will determine whether or not our inventions are great successes.
The fact is there are no accidents when it comes to invention. Each invention was created intentionally. There are no accidental inventions.
An invention is a deliberate act. Intentionally making something new. Something that solves a problem. Something that makes life better for someone.
However, the key to creating a successful invention is understanding how nothing happens by accident. Instead of trying to avoid mistakes, learn from them.
We would love to tell you that invention is simple, but it's not. It takes hard work and perseverance to invent something. It's not a quick fix. It takes patience.
It means you have to spend a lot more time thinking about and trying out different ideas. What do people care about? What do they want?
You have to ask yourself questions like these. Questions that will help you figure out what kind of product or service you should develop next.
To achieve this, it is important to forget about any preconceived ideas. Preconceived notions about what the world needs or wants are not valid. Listen to your potential and current customers.
Learn what they really want. It is not what they think they want.
Once you know what your customers want, it is time to create a way for them to get it. That's where invention begins.
What is the most valuable thing that you have learned in history?
This question is not easy to answer. There are three things to keep in mind when learning. First, knowledge is power. We must also recognize the fact that knowledge is cumulative. Third, we must appreciate how quickly knowledge changes.
Knowledge is power because it empowers us to make better decisions and improve our lives. We wouldn't have any problems making decisions if we had perfect information. We would always do exactly what we wanted without worrying about whether it was right or wrong.
Knowledge is power, but it can also be cumulative. This means that knowledge is not only powerful, but also cumulative. We become more and more intelligent as time goes by. Knowledge accumulates.
Let's move on to the next point. Knowledge is not static. Knowledge is always changing. Scientists learn new facts and theories every day. There are always new discoveries.
Technology allows us to quickly access knowledge, and is crucial for our culture. Technology allows us to store huge amounts of data electronically and share it with millions around the globe.
Globalization is changing the way that we view technology. Globalization refers the process whereby ideas and products are spread across borders. Globalization has made knowledge accessible to everyone.
Access to information from anywhere on the planet is possible thanks to the internet. Everybody can read books and watch movies. They can also listen to music, play games, or surf the internet. All of these activities require knowledge.
Although knowledge is becoming easier to access, it is also becoming more specific. You can find thousands of websites that offer advice on subjects such as finance, health, business, sports, and travel. These sites offer information on nearly every topic possible.
If you want to buy a car online, however, you will likely only find a few dozen websites that provide automotive-related services. Instead of finding thousands of sites covering every conceivable subject, you'll find only a handful covering cars.
Experts in particular fields have the ability to share and create value. This is why experts in these areas are so popular. Experts are often experts in a specific field. They're also able to produce high-quality content that's targeted toward their specific audience.
This is great news for consumers as they no longer have to search through a lot of useless information. Instead, they can concentrate on a few sites that have lots of useful content.
Experts also benefit from specialization because they can build strong businesses around their expertise. The buyer of a book expects the author will be knowledgeable enough to explain the subject clearly and concisely. He expects the author to understand his message.
Experts who do not specialize risk losing potential customers.
It's not necessary to be a specialist in only one area. Most people are experts in multiple areas today. You might be an accountant or lawyer, a doctor or teacher. Not only are we likely to be a parent or spouse, but also friends, family, and fans.
Experts say it is common to specialize.
How do you become an expert on multiple subjects? The answer is simple: practice. To learn anything, you have to practice. Once you've made progress, keep going until people are able to recognize your knowledge.
There are whole industries dedicated to helping others reach this goal. People can quickly learn through courses, workshops seminars, conferences, schools and other venues.
What can we learn by Abraham Lincoln's example?
Abraham Lincoln said that he was slow to learn, but quick to forget.
He understood the importance of learning and knew that he would eventually need to let go of old habits in order to embrace new ones.
The same holds true for our businesses. No matter how much we plan for success in the future, there will always be times when we are unable to move forward and end up stuck in a rut.
It is crucial to continue to learn and grow. If we are to achieve the pinnacle, we must keep learning.
Lincoln had the right attitude. He realized that he could not stop learning, even though he was able to be more productive in his business.
There are two types. Two types of entrepreneurs exist: those who stay busy and those with smart ideas.
Those who keep busy are focused on their business' growth. They are involved in marketing strategies, product development, customer support, and other tasks every day.
They may feel accomplished, but they are often missing the mark. Entrepreneurs who aren't focused on learning more won't see sustainable growth.
What separates successful entrepreneurs from average ones? Ability to quickly adapt to changing situations.
Successful entrepreneurs are always looking for ways to improve the products and services they offer when faced with difficulties.
However, most entrepreneurs stick to old-fashioned methods that no longer work. They refuse to change course until their business fails.
To succeed, you must master both the art of adaptation and self-reflection.

How To
Accidental Discovery of Penicillin: Successive Inventions
How did penicillin get created?
Alexander Fleming, who had some bacteria cultures left behind, noticed that penicillin was growing on them. He believed the mold might kill the bacteria so he set out to find a way that would destroy the mold.
Penicillin was able to kill the mold. Then he discovered that it could also be used to fight bacteria-related infections. Penicillin was one the greatest medical breakthroughs. It saved millions of lives, and it changed the course forever of medicine.
Alexander Fleming wasn't aware at first that this discovery would be so crucial. Nobody else did. Nobody knew penicillin would be such a powerful anti-biotic.
Until after World War II, scientists learned that penicillin worked against bacterial infections. In 1945, the U.S. Army contacted Dr. Fleming to see if penicillin could help soldiers who had been infected with deadly germs. Dr. Fleming was willing to give it a try.
It turned out that penicillin was effective against many different kinds of infection. It saved the lives of wounded soldiers in World War II. It saved many lives and helped doctors continue their work after the war.
Dr. Fleming did not expect that his discovery would have such a profound impact. He simply wanted to make sure that mold doesn't grow in the bacteria cultures he studied. But he couldn’t see how such an easy experiment would lead to such a simple medical breakthrough.
Many of the discoveries that are made each day don't seem like they add up to anything remarkable. They are experiments performed for no particular reason.
Look back on history and you'll see that even seemingly minor experiments can make all the difference.
Discoveries that seem to have nothing in common end up being incredibly important. The discovery of penicillin is an example. Or photography. Or electricity. Or even computers.
The invention doesn't happen because someone thinks of a brilliant idea. It happens because someone is faced with a problem. They then solve the problem by experimentation.
