THE SECRET Graveyard of 116 U-boats How Britain SUNK the Nazi Submarine Fleet FOREVER

Operation Deadlight: The Secret Graveyard of 116 U-boats Dive deep into the secret history of Operation Deadlight , the massive Allied effort to eliminate the Nazi U-boat threat forever after Germany's surrender in May 1945. This documentary explores the complex logistics and geopolitical tensions surrounding the fate of 156 intact German submarines. Discover why the British, who bore the brunt of the U-boat war , decided to scuttle (sink) 116 U-boats in the deep Atlantic waters northwest of Ireland between November 1945 and February 1946. Learn about the revolutionary Type Twenty-One U-boats—true submarines that featured advanced technology like streamlined hulls and snorkel systems —and why the destruction of these vessels sparked one of the first major conflicts with the Soviet Union at the onset of the Cold War. From the collection points at Loch Ryan and Lisahally to the grim spectacle of the scuttling , we detail the immense challenge faced by Allied sailors and the psychological toll on the former German U-boat crews. The U-boats were the most devastating German weapon , responsible for sinking over fourteen million tons of Allied shipping. This is the definitive story of their final, non-negotiable end.
