This week I talk about John Chatterton and Richie Kohler and their 6-year long adventure to uncover the identity of a mysterious World War II German U-boat they found. Rewriting a section of naval history, these men spent thousands of hours researching, traveling, and diving this wreck to not only discover its name but the names of the 56-dead crewmen who went down with it. Listen to this week's episode of Narcosis: Into the Deep for Part One.
Majorty of the information gathered for this episode comes from Rober Kurson's book: "Shadow Divers: The True Adventure of Two Americans Who Risked Everything to Solve One of the Last Mysteries of World War II." I only scratch the surface of this topic so I highly recommend you purchase and read Robert Kurson's book (this is not a paid advertisement - I just enjoyed his book that much!):
