Hitler's Secret Attack on America

Did anybody else watch this? It was on TV last night on the NatGeo channel.

The show was about Operation Drumbeat, surveying the shipwrecks off Cape Hatteras. I'd give the show a C-. I liked the interviews, one of the people they interviewed was Horst Degen's son, of the U-701. I really liked the ship graphics and models.
I didn't like the fact that they left out a lot of the critical facts during Operation Drumbeat, such as why the US did start convoys until July 42. All of a sudden, shazaam!, the US starts doing convoys and that solved the problem. No criticism of Adm King what so ever. The re-enactments were kinda flunky imo. The "depth charge" they were loading was clearly a garbage can!. I also thought the animations were kinda subpar. But on a good note, they didn't use any U-571 footage. The show felt kinda rushed to me.
