In this two-hour special, Nova follows a team of divers down to the
ocean floor for a six-year investigation that eventually determined the
identity of a sunken World War II submarine -- and rewrote history in
the process. The German U-Boat, first discovered in 1991 just 60 miles
off the New Jersey coast, posed a significant challenge to would-be
explorers; the program explains the kinds of dangers that even highly
trained professional divers face under 230 feet of water, and it
showcases the cutting-edge technology that allowed them to investigate
the wreck of U-869. Finally, Hitler's Lost Sub discusses the history of
the Nazi submarine fleet and the role that these ships played during the
war. After an early version of the film aired in Germany, a 78-year-old
survivor of the U-869 disaster came forward; his incredible story is
included in the final film.
