NOVA - Hitler's Lost Sub Review

Put one of my favorite books, Robert Kurson's "Shadow Divers" was not a documentary form, when the two men who actually lived, John Chatterton and Richie Koehler, reenacting their roles were used. John Chatterton is a whole person with its perfect code of ethics, his courage and experience first, his class 'A' intelligence and heroic features beautiful. Richie Koehler originally hung with a gang of bad guys and had a big problem at home. However, John knewand appreciated his ability, courage and knowledge that first so that he went to work for him on the right side of the story to get himself. John & Richie have created one of the most historic of modern times, and while they have solved one of the last mysteries of World War II continued. (Added to this is incredibly exciting writing style of Robert Kurson from the original book, and you have a story for the ages.) This documentary presents the best of human exploration of very exciting and heartConclusion. Vi consiglio questo DVD a tutti coloro che hanno letto il libro e per chi ama il battito del cuore e le storie cuore stop di un tesoro sepolto. This is the last, as occurs with zero room for error under the water!

NOVA - Hitler's Lost Sub Overview

The true story behind the cataclysmic World War II naval battle that took place just off American shores.

1941. America had just entered World War II, but terrifying unseen weapons were stalking US targets, sinking over 400 ships just miles from American shores in the worst naval defeat in United States history. The stealthy predators were German U-boats, Hitler’s deadly warships of the deep. It was cataclysmic—with bodies and wreckage washed ashore on the eastern seaboard. But the Allies ultimately triumphed, sinking over 700 enemy submarines.

Fifty years later, the personal drama behind this wartime state of siege resurfaced when a team of divers discovered an unidentified German U-boat deep in the waters off the New Jersey coast. What boat was it? And what secret mission brought it there? The divers embarked on a dangerous, six-year quest to uncover the secret of the mysterious wreck. Three divers lost their lives in the search, but the clues uncovered have shed remarkable new light on the struggles and triumphs from this undersea war.

There’s more in this spectacular two-hour video journey. Trace the history of submarines and undersea warfare from the American Revolution through World War II, and tour the sophisticated—and cramped—interior of a captured U-boat. Dive in dangerous waters with deep sea detectives as they attempt to retrieve clues that will reveal the decaying U-boat’s identity. See how the breaking of secret Nazi codes by the Allies altered the outcome of the war—and helped unravel the mystery behind this German U-boat. And finally, travel to Germany with the divers as they rewrite a part of World War II history, bring closure to families of the lost crew and discover how one man’s life was spared.

Three People Died Trying to Identify U-869 - James J. Varela - Sarasota, FL United States
The people who produced this documentary are in prison. A diver has died in a mis-hap and father and son diving team who lost their lives to try this IDENTIFY Sub. What a tragic and unnecessary loss of human life ever. a simple detective work with the German naval archives would have told them that the submarine had to be it. Point later in the documentation that was U-869 led to America, but U-Boot command issued an order to divert attention by Morocco, but the records clearly show that the message Sub. In eachevent might be different now that the fate of the underwater life of these risks? Shame!



Decent video - M. Meagher - Seattle, WA
I liked the book Shadow Divers and also liked the video, pictures and videos on the history that was in the book. E 'was interesting to see the video shot by divers to help me better visualize the actual conditions of immersion. This DVD was more history Uboat, top stuff, as I expected to dive with a couple of shots here and there. I also found the 'action' from the main dive a little script ... seemed to re-enactments of the final identification of the sub and do a little 'the dive planning meeting ... but these guys are not actors .. Overall it was an interesting video.



A great look at real history - -
What a great story! I bought it because I had read Shadow Divers. A must for anyone to see and enjoy every look at history. 'S full of real life today, people and events that are not so distant past, but explosive. The video expands on the role of subs in the war with great looks with great footage of the wreck and the crew members and their families, etc. etc. I recommend reading this book after seeing the video. And 'one of the best I've read. I takes care of details, becauseIt takes days to read more than two hours. I was in the story of John and Richie risked their commitment to realize their dreams are captured. And then there's Bill Nagle. He is not mentioned in the movie, but Robert Kurson brings them all alive better than any other I have ever read. And with 67 years ago I read a lot of books. This action is a true story! You will not be disappointed! Buy the video and the book!
