EPISODE 16 EXPLORES HOW A WORLD WAR II GERMAN SUBMARINE EITHER DIDN’T GET THE MESSAGE THAT THE WAR WAS OVER or DECIDED TO IGNORE THE ORDER AND ATTACK AN AMERICAN MERCHANT SHIP OFF THE COAST OF RHODE ISLAND IN MAY 1945.

IN THE WORDS OF A JAPANESE ADMIRAL AT THE BEGINNING OF THE WAR “I FEAR WE HAVE AWAKENED A SLEEPING GIANT AND FILLED HIM WITH A TERRIBLE RESOLVE”, THIS ATTACK CAUSED AN INCENSED AMERICAN NAVY TO PULLED OUT ALL THE STOPS TO EXACT REVENGE ON THE GERMAN U-BOAT THAT CAUSED AMERICA TO SUFFER SOME OF ITS LAST MIA’S OF WORLD WAR 2!
