Default The Secret Of U-166 (U-boat) - 1/5

hi hunters

have recently enjoyed this documentary on U-Tube

hope it works. its the story of U-166 and contains footage i have not seen before which is always refreshing! also contains interviews with Vets and Survivors/Family of the incidents portrayed.

you will find the rest of the documentary along side on U-Tube, 5 parts in all.

Very good post...thanks for sharing.

I think the narrator put it best at the end (when examining why the Robert E Lee and U166 sit side by side at the bottom of the Gulf) "It is a symbol/record of reconciliation"....
