HOMEPAGE

In 1991, 60 miles off the coast of New Jersey, a team of American divers led by Richard Kohler and his partner John Chatterton discovered the wreck of a German U-boat lost in 1945 in the dying days of the Battle of the Atlantic, the longest campaign of World War II. But this was no ordinary U-boat, and its discovery eventually revealed a remarkable story.
