This week on History Happy Hour: In June, 1944, sailors from the mysterious 10th fleet boarded an enemy warship at sea for the first time since the War of 1812.  What’s more, it was a submarine: The U-505.

Chris and Rick have visited the sub together. Now we bring you the swashbuckling tale of its capture with our guest Alexander Rose, author of Phantom Fleet: The Hunt for Nazi Submarine U-505 and World War II’s Most Daring Heist.

Sunday at 4PM ET on History Happy Hour, where history is always on tap.

Born in the United States, raised in Australia and educated in Britain, Alexander currently resides in New York.
