The Hunt for U-864 - BBC Documentary

martxyz · 12-28-06, 08:20 AM

Just to let people know that on Friday 5th December at 9pm (GMT) A documentary called "Timewatch: The Hunt for U-864" is being shown on British BBC 2 Television. The "Timewatch" series programmes are always very well done.
The summary of the program is listed as follows

" Dramatised documentary telling the true story of how in February 1945, HMS Venturer hunted down and sank the U-Boat U864, the only time two submarines duelled to the death underwater. Eyewitness accounts, secret and long-forgotten archive material and a dive into the Baltic's frozen depths bring to life the full amazing story of U864's last hours."

I hope people find this helpful, if you have access to BBC 2 Television

Cheers,

Martin

Yes he did:

"U864 will be shown on 5 January 9pm BBC TWO."

Still thanks for the heads-up.
