All language subtitles for The Lost U-Boats of WWII S01E02 1080p WEB h264-EDITH_track3_[eng]

-I want you to see if you've

seen anything like
this before, okay?

It has this eagle.

-Let me show you something.
Can you see that?

It's got the swastika, the eagle
holding up the swastika.

That shows that there was
a presence of Nazis

at that time.

-This is Third Reich.

-In 1981, Darrell Miklos
and his father,

legendary treasure hunter
Roger Miklos,

obtained classified
Nazi blueprints of U-boats,

submarines allegedly altered
to move some of the billions

of gold and priceless artifacts
looted by Hitler out of Germany.

-My father searched for these
U-boats until the day he died.

But I have something
that he didn't --

a chart by a former
U.S. Navy pilot,

and it shows the location
of not one, not two,

but seven possible
U-boats located near

the Dominican.

-Armed with this naval chart...

-That's priority
target number one.

-...Darrell has assembled a team

of divers and experts to pursue
his father's dream.

-I'm looking for answers.

Can this chart lead us to
modified U-boats?

Were they carrying valuable
treasure and secrets?

Where were they headed, and why?

[ Sonar pinging ]

-It's six days into their
month-long search,

as treasure hunter
Darrell Miklos begins

a new underwater-scanning
operation just off the coast of

the Dominican Republic.

-Darrell, we're -- we're
just about there.

-Okay.
-Time to grab the mag and get

that sucker in the water.
-All right. You got it, man.

-Today, Darrell enlists the help
of magnetometer technician

Doug Gossage to finish scanning
the last of the target sites

marked on a 1948
U.S. naval chart.

-I'll call you if I need help,
but, uh, I think I got this.

-Six of the sites were scanned
previously, and each registered

significant metal hits.

Now Darrell's scanning the last
site, known as target 4.

It's located eight miles from
the port city of Montecristi.

These results will be crucial
in helping the team decide which

of the dive targets
to prioritize,

with hurricane season nearly
a month away.

-Deploying the mag.

-We didn't include target 4
in our first magnetometer scan

because its position in open
water makes it

vulnerable to weather.

If the water's too rough,

we won't be able to get
an accurate reading.

So we're really trying to take
advantage of the window

that we have here
to finish our scan.

-All right. We're on track.

-The weather here
is so different.

This is -- This is nothing
like I've ever seen

anywhere in the Caribbean.

This is, like, specific
to this region.

And, uh, it's not
been very helpful.

-As Darrell and Doug tow the
magnetometer behind the boat,

sensors within the device
register any changes

in the Earth's natural magnetic
field caused by iron objects.

This signature, measured in
units called gammas,

is represented by a line
on the team's monitor.

Any significant change in
the readings could indicate

the presence of metal below.

Darrell hopes that could mean

parts or even a whole
modified U-boat.

-Hey, what's that right there?

-The swells are
picking up out here,

which is really causing
the boat to rock.

When that happens,
it pulls the mag as it's

being dragged behind the boat.

And this could cause it to give
inaccurate readings.

-I thought we would have had
something by now.

I mean, we've been out here way
over an hour.

[ Computer beeping ]

-Wait a sec.
What is that one there?

-No.
-Check. No. Look. Right here.

-Oh, yeah. It's coming
in the screen.

-Look at that.
That's a big change.

-Oh, yeah.

-After hours of searching
the waters near target 4,

Darrell and Doug finally
register a large,

metal signature
on the magnetometer --

one that appears to
stretch on for 180 feet.

-That's the best one we've seen.

-That's good.
-Yeah.

-I think that's -- that's big.
That covered meters of ground.

-[ Beeping ]
-You know, I've never run over

a submarine before
with the mag,

but if I did, that's what
I imagine it would look like.

-I'm freaking stoked, man.
Whoo! Yeah-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo!

-This is incredibly promising
data. The mag hit is massive.

There has to be something huge
and metal down there.

At just over 25,000 gammas,
it's easily big enough

to be a long-range Nazi U-boat.

-Later that day,
Darrell returns to his base camp

in Montecristi to plan his next
dive operation with fellow diver

Steve Bender and archeologist
Garth Baldwin.

-I've noticed that the weather
patterns have changed

drastically for
this time of the year.

It's usually not this bad.

So we're gonna have to rethink
our strategy on how we're gonna

dive these next few sites.

-Although magnetometer anomalies
have been detected at each one

of the seven sites on Darrell's
acquired map, the most promising

signature initially seemed
to be at target 2.

-You guys remember
target number 2?

Okay, so, that was a big target.

-However, during their dive of
target 2 last week...

-...the team realized the source
of the magnetic anomaly was

a sunken merchant vessel,
not a submarine.

-We all know one thing -- we can
check this guy off the list.

-Now the team turns their
attention to the next-largest

magnetometer reading --
recently magged target 4.

-All the other targets that we
magged on the chart so far have

readings under 20,000 gammas.

Target 4 -- the gamma reading

that we came up with
was 25,000 gammas.

Target number 4 is by far
the largest gamma reading

Doug has ever seen in
his entire career.

That means that's
priority target number one.

-And we are not leaving
this area

until we find out what it is.

-Let's get out there,
and let's get on it.

-The next morning...

-All right. Let's do our magic.

-...Darrell returns with his
team to target 4.

-Let's break out the toys,
my friend.

Want to use the big coil?

-Steve and I's plan on this
particular site is bring

the metal detector with us
and see what it is that's

setting off the magnetometer.

-Comm checks. What are you
guys seeing down there?

-Even though this was a massive
hit, because of the chop,

we weren't able to get a precise
reading on the mag,

which means that we still have
a giant target area to search.

-The blueprints that Darrell
and his father acquired

show that some Type VII U-boats
had their torpedos removed,

allegedly to store
stolen Nazi loot.

Instead of torpedoes, these subs
relied solely on topside guns

and cannons for defense,

along with a jump wire
to cut through Allied nets.

Because of this, Darrell
and Steve are searching

for anything that resembles
these features.

-If these U-boats are really
here in Montecristi,

they've been sitting on
that ocean floor for decades.

And that means they could have
been buried

or turned into reefs
over the years.

That's why we look
for debris trails.

One small find with
the metal detector could

actually be the one thing that
leads us to an entire U-boat.

-After completing
a perimeter search,

the two divers decide to also
explore inside the reef.

[ Metal detector squealing ]

-While diving around target 4,
Darrell Miklos and fellow diver

Steve Bender make
an exciting discovery.

-Check it out!

-Although far too small to be
the source of the magnetometer

hit detected in this area,
the pistol offers Darrell

and his team what could be their
first important clue.

-Judging by the level of
oxidation, this gun could be

from World War II era.

But there's really no way to
tell with all this rust on it.

-Our search of target 4
has just begun,

and we are already off
to a great start.

-Copy.

-Darrell and Steve began their
ascent to rejoin Garth

and Captain Francisco
"Paco" Montaner topside.

-The divers have been down there
for maybe 25 minutes,

and the wind's already
picking up.

I know that it's gonna get a lot
worse faster than we thought.

Here's Darrell.

-As Darrell and Steve surface,
Captain Paco starts to see signs

that the weather conditions
are about to turn

and will soon be too dangerous
to continue diving.

-The waves are getting
pretty choppy.

-The team decides to pause
diving for the day

and examine the pistol
they found.

-You're might gonna have to, uh,
wrap this one up.

-There's a lot of promise
at target 4,

but it's just so vulnerable to
even slight changes in weather.

While we wait for
the weather to calm,

we're gonna get this pistol
looked at

and see what it tells us.

-Back in port later that day,

Darrell and Steve
sit down with Garth.

-Both Steven and I have been

really anxious
to show you this piece.

-Oh, man.

-Check that out.

-I know what that is.

That is a revolver.

-Every firearm has a story.

It was built, it was made,
it was created, it was used.

So if we can prove that
this pistol is Nazi-made,

it's a good indication that
the mag hit at target 4 might be

one of our U-boats.

-Man, that's heavily encrusted,
isn't it?

-Yeah.

-I mean, that's -- that's wood,
I think, and it looks like it

might be, like, a curly maple
of some kind,

which they used for --
for grips, you know, on a --

on a fancy handgun.

-See that, like, definitive,

square ridge that runs
along the top side?

-Yep.
-The whole profile of the gun,

it's slight, and it, uh --

it just looks like
it's European design.

And the maker of it, I swear to
God, I want to say is German.

-Wow.

Is there any way to tell
whether this is military?

-If this was used as issue,
it'll have stamps on it, right?

The Nazis have stamps
all over their firearms.

-And you think that if we were
to clean this properly,

that some of those stamps
might still be there?

-Yeah.
-Yeah.

-During World War II, the only
known standard-issued handguns

among the German military were
those given to Army soldiers --

the Walther P38 and the
Luger P.08.

The German Navy,
or Kriegsmarine,

carried a variety of firearms,
either for self-defense

or a quick death under
drastic circumstances.

-I mean, it's a hunk right now.

We're talking
about a hulk of metal.

But I would bet dollars to
doughnuts if we could soak this

in electrolysis, we could get
all that off of there.

-Darrell and I have
done this before.

We can build an electrolysis
tank pretty easily with

the basic supplies
on this boat --

battery, some copper wire.

Do you think that makes
sense to do this?

-Absolutely, 100%.

-All right.
Hand me that battery.

I got it.

-In order to remove the heavy
corrosion from the pistol,

the team will use what's known
as reverse electrolysis.

This process involves placing
the rusted artifact in

a conductive, water-based
solution and then exposing it to

low-voltage current for
several hours or days.

This effectively reverses
the chemical reaction

that produces rust,
allowing the build up to be

removed from
the original object.

-I'm just gonna start hooking
the wires up, Darrell,

and getting them ready.

-I've done this process
working with conservationists,

uh, on early
colonial period stuff,

with a lot larger
build up on it.

However, because this gun hasn't
been in the water as long,

I'm hopeful that we can
fast track that

electrolysis process and get
that stuff to flake off

in a really quick manner.

-All right. Good job.
That's perfect.

-We're all hopeful that this gun
produces something that ties it

to Germany and especially
the World War II era.

-All right, looks like
everything's set up.

She's flowing.

We've got a little bit of
activity, um, with some bubbles.

And with a little luck, we'll be
able to expose some of those,

uh, markings on the gun.

-That's all we got.
That's all we can do.

-As a new day begins
in Montecristi,

high winds and choppy seas once
again ground treasure hunter

Darrell Miklos
and his dive team.

As Steve and Garth continue to
monitor the electrolysis

of the possible German
gun at the marina...

...Darrell heads into town
with Robinson Jiménez,

a local dive-shop owner who
has been assisting the team

in their investigation.

-Today, Robinson is taking
Darrell to meet a local man who

claims to have witnessed a Nazi
submarine captain coming ashore

in Montecristi during
the Second World War.

-This gentleman's close to 100
years old, and he's the only

living eyewitness to having seen
Germans in this area during

World War II time.

I can't wait to pick his brain,
because if the story is true,

this just adds to my confidence
in this whole project.

-Wow.

-I'm shaking listening to this
gentleman tell me the story that

he witnessed the captain
bringing supplies in a boat at

the end of this pier that they
had out there,

watching the submarine come up
from depths of 55 feet,

boarding the U-boat
and loading supplies on it.

-I'm still in total disbelief.
However, I believe it.

-One of the most important parts
of his conversation --

he knew of a refueling station
right here in Montecristi.

-I mean, hearing the old man's
story, I really understand why

he was afraid for his life.

The question is, does this have
something to do with

the treasure U-boats that
we're looking for?

-Because there was no documented
Nazi outpost in

Montecristi during World War II,
the old man's account of

a secret pier used to dock
U-boats presents

an intriguing new lead.

Is it really possible that
U-boats were openly refueling

and resupplying in Montecristi
during World War II?

And if so, could the port have
had a much closer connection to

Nazi German than
previously suspected?

If this story is true,
it could be an incredible clue

tracking down a treasure U-boat.

So I'm gonna need to touch base
with the team,

and I want to find out where
this pier could have been.

-Later that day, Darrell meets
Steve and Garth at the team's

base camp in Montecristi to plan
their next moves.

-I got some really cool news.
Robinson's been really helpful.

He introduces me to this guy
who's 100 years old.

This guy was alive back
in World War II.

He's one of the only
eyewitnesses to

having seen an actual U-boat.

And not only did he --
-Come on.

-No. I'm dead serious.

Not only did he not just see
a U-boat, but he knew

the U-boat captain.

-Right -- Just right here,
walking around town?

-Right here.
Yeah, well, he blended in

with the rest of
the German community.

Another thing that the old man
told me that makes me think that

he's legit is there was
a refueling station here,

and he called it "La Granja."

And it's right here on the chart
right there -- Granja Point.

And it's right next to where
he saw the U-boat on the pier.

-With weather conditions on the
open water still too dangerous

to dive the targets on
the chart, the alleged pier

presents Darrell and team
with a fresh opportunity.

Finding it would not only verify
the old man's story but might

also provide leads in their
hunt for modified U-boats.

-And so I believe that the next
target has to be the pier.

There has to be some remnants
of docking material,

all sorts of evidence
of what happened there.

-The remnants of what was
happening there is going to be

in the archeological record.

It's gonna be in the junk
on the bottom down there.

I guarantee you the pier --

it's a ruin now, so there's
gonna be a lot of junk.

But some of that junk could
very well be related to

U-boat occupation or maintenance
or the trade that was going on

back and forth --
I mean, something.

I'm gonna take the drone out now
and see if I can't locate that

debris field of the pier
for you guys to dive on it.

-That sounds like a really good
idea, because I know it's in

this general area.

So that means we're
gonna be protected here.

It's not gonna get the wind
like we would out here.

-Got it.

-With precious daylight hours
still remaining...

-Okay.

-...Garth heads to the beach at
Granja Point to survey

the location of the alleged
refueling pier.

[ Drone beeps ]

-Okay, I got the bird up.

-I'm looking for remnants

of the pier the old man
was talking about.

Uh, got nice, clear water.

Water's good.

-Using a drone equipped with
a high-definition camera,

Garth begins to scour
the coastline from above for

anything that might resemble
a sunken or buried structure.

-Nothing yet.

Some discoloration
under the water.

Yep. That's it.

That's got to be the pier.

-Nothing yet.

-While flying a drone as he
seeks signs of a suspected

World War II U-boat docking
pier in Montecristi,

Garth spots
something interesting.

-Some discoloration
under the water.

Yep. That's it.

This is the pier.
This is the ruins of the pier.

So I've got a reflection of dark
spots and things like that

that line up with the corridor
of where that pier should be.

So, we can come in from
the boat, we can dive on that

right there, and, uh,
follow it all the way out.

-Finding this pier validates a
big part of the old man's story.

Now what we have to do is we
have to dive out there and see

if we can come up
with anything that's

Nazi-related or related
to the treasure U-boat.

-The next morning, before the
team dives the suspected pier...

-Let's go.

-...Darrell and Garth check in
on the progress of removing rust

from what could be a German
pistol found

two days ago at target 4.

-Okay.
That looks different,

even after a couple days.

That looks like a little bit
better than when we

first put it in there.

-Yeah, it's only been
a couple of days,

but it's loosened up a lot of
the gunk that was on it, right?

-You can tell by the water in
the tub that the process has

dissolved a lot of the rust.

Hopefully now we're able to
chip off a little bit of

the heavier corrosion, and maybe
we can find some markings

that'll help us identify this
gun as German or not.

-Yep. Keep going. Yep.

[ Mallet banging ]

-See? Beautiful.

-Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
Whoa. Ohh.

-I like it when he says "whoa."

-I really want
the manufacturer's name

to be right there.

-Yeah.

-It's just so old and corroded.

-I'm looking for very small
markings and imprints that might

be millimeters deep
on this steel pistol.

But after decades in salt water,
it's in really bad shape.

There should be something on the
barrel right here.

There should be serial numbers
in here, and there should be

serial numbers on
the face of the cylinder.

But all of those things are

completely obliterated
from rust.

-The only thing that could still
really help us is an actual

casing of a bullet
inside that cylinder.

-Right.
-Is it time to take out

a hacksaw and cut
through the cylinder?

-Look, I'm a treasure hunter,
and that means that I don't

normally destroy artifacts
that I find.

But I have to focus on
the bigger picture.

And if this gun still has
cartridges inside and those

cartridges are German,
then target 4 becomes

a very interesting site to us.

-Oh.
-Ohh, ooh, ooh, ooh.

-Holy frick. Check that out.

-That's got a casing on it.
Look right there.

-Is that casing?
That looks like it to me, too.

-Yeah.

-That's a bullet in there.
-I believe you.

If there's a bullet
or anything brass,

this would be a green patina.

-Brass cartridges would
produce a greenish tint.

The absence of a patina
indicates that the cartridges

are not brass.

-Right.
-And nothing in there

reflects...
-Nothing's green.

-...the color of
cupreous material.

-There's no green.
-No.

-But if they were made of steel,
they would rot right out

like that, wouldn't they?

'Cause it'd little, thin
sheet-metal cartridges,

and that metal would rot out.

Interestingly, Germans use
steel for their cartridges.

-Brass is generally considered
the preferable material

for bullet manufacturing,
as the tighter seal it creates

inside gun barrels leads to
fewer malfunctions.

But at the beginning
of World War II,

Germany began using
steel bullet casings

to save brass for
higher priorities

like radio circuitry and motor
or generator windings.

-When I look at this pistol,
I see a profile that suggests

to me a European origin,
with the steel casing inside,

which we know the Germans used.

Based on what I'm seeing,
the steel casings in this pistol

are a good indicator that
they're German in origin.

-That's almost as good
as confirming that

this is a German origin.
-Oh, sure.

-As of now, target 4 is becoming
the most important site.

What's a possible German-made
handgun doing eight miles

offshore near one of
the targets on my chart

that also happens to have
a huge magnetometer hit?

No lying there.

-We know a lot more
than we knew.

-That is fantastic.

-As rough seas once again
prevent diving the deep water

target sites on their map,
Darrell and Steve head to

an area just off
the coast of Montecristi.

Their goal -- look for a pier
suspected to be used

by German U-boats in
World War II.

-All right.
Let's break this one out.

-If we can find evidence backing
up the old man's story about

Nazi submarines, it could
provide new clues about

the modified U-boats that
we're looking for.

-It might also raise fresh
questions about what exactly

Nazi officers were doing here.

[ Static crackling ]

-We know that this dock, with
being here for so many decades,

there has to be
a lot of dropped things.

-People are dropping
stuff all the time.

So, if we can find evidence of
anything personal that relates

to Germans or Nazis,
it'd be fantastic.

-Surface to divers.

-Are you finding
submerged piers yet?

-Oh, yeah.

-Okay. So they've confirmed it.

[ Indistinct talking on radio ]

[ Metal detector humming ]

-With so much metal rendering
the detector useless,

Darrell and Steve will have to
search the sunken pier by hand.

-Encouraged by the find
of a German bottle...

...Darrell and Steve continue to
search for more clues nearby.

With several possible
clues in hand,

Darrell and Steve return
to the surface so Garth

can examine them.

-So, a lot of this stuff that
we found, this is just like

ships' pins that were holding
the decking on to the ship,

I suppose.

-You guys did pick
this up, though.

-Yeah. That's cool.
-This is cool.

This is, uh, Bremen, you know?

That's where --
That's, like, the center of

U-boat production was in Bremen.

-Wow.
-Oh.

-Is this an actual beer bottle?

-Yeah.
-Oh, wow.

-Yeah, it's --
-They had big beer.

-What, Kriegsbrauen Brauen?

-"Kaiser Brauerei."
-Yeah. It's the brewery...

-Oh.
-...in Bremen.

-Kaiser Brewery in Bremen.
-Yeah.

-Founded in Bremen, Germany,
in 1873, Beck's Beer was

a popular staple among sailors
in the German navy,

or Kriegsmarine.

Several Nazi shipyards
were located in Bremen,

including ones where
U-boats were mass-produced.

-Very cool, man.
-That is super cool.

-Could the Beck's beer bottle be
evidence suggesting the pier was

used as a secret resupply dock
for German U-boats?

And if so, might it also connect
to the treasure-filled

Type VII submarines the team
is searching for?

-I don't know what all this
is...but it's a plate.

And it looks like
the same plate,

but I haven't tried to refit it.

You know what I mean?

I don't know if this
goes together even.

-Right.

-No. So, if it was...

-Oh, yeah.

-But that doesn't fit.
None of these fit together.

-Huh.
-But there's enough here of

multiple plates,
which is kind of nice.

I mean, it doesn't refit,
but it's kind of nice because

we've got some of
the same numbers

and the same color of the ink.
-Yeah.

-That has an eagle on it.

-And you can see this almost
matches. See how that is?

-Oh.
-The tail there.

That is the extension
of the eagle right there.

You see that?
-Yep.

-A symbol of German statehood
dating all the way back

to the 15th century,
the war eagle was adopted

as a symbol of
the Nazi Party in the 1920s.

-This is not something
that you would find in,

uh, Dominican Republic.

-No.
-They're not using porcelain.

-No. Nothing like this, no.

Yeah. It's just a whiteware,
but that --

It's gonna be distinguishable.
It's a fingerprint.

-We need to get these plates

checked out by
an expert immediately.

We might be on to something.

-One day after finding pieces of
possible Nazi plates while

investigating the suspected
site of a secret German pier...

-Let's get Bill
on the phone, man.

-Okay.
-...Darrell Miklos and his team

have arranged a call with
renowned wreck diver

Bill Palmer.

-Hey, Bill. How you doing, man?

-I'm doing fantastic.
How about yourself?

-Palmer famously became
one of the first divers

to explore U-853 in 1972.

The submarine was reportedly
sunk off the coast of

Rhode Island just days before
the German surrender

in May 1945.

-I'm ready.

-The team hopes that Bill

can help them learn more about
the origin of these plates.

-Thanks for hooking up
with us here.

I got -- Darrell
and Steve are with me.

-How you doing, Bill?
-Hey, Bill. Nice to meet you.

-Hey. Nice to meet you guys.

-Yeah. These are the --
These are the guys diving on

this stuff, and they got a bunch
of pieces of tableware.

So, I'm gonna -- I'm gonna show
you this, and I want --

I want you to see if you can --
if you can identify it or if

you've seen anything like this
before, okay?

-Sure.
-Okay.

This one says "36."
I have two that are 38.

And the font is,
like, identical.

It's the same ink.

And only one of them says "19."

But, you know, trying to
figure out logically,

I'm thinking...dates?

-Yeah, those would,
in my opinion,

be dates of manufacture.

They'd be 1938, 1936.

Those are the dates that
the plates were made.

-That's our era. That's early,
but that's our era.

And it has this eagle as
part of that logo.

-That's a great find.

Let me show you something
that might make your day.

Stand by for one second
while I get it.

-Okay.

-Okay. I'm back.

This is something that
I found on the U-853.

-See? Here we go.

-Can you see that?

-Oh, yeah.
-Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

-Look at that. [ Laughs ]
-Do you see that?

-As you can see here,
it's very similar.

-Yeah, that looks like the same
ink and the same font stamp.

-After seeing Bill's plate,
a plate that he pulled out of

an actual U-boat, and it looks
exactly like ours,

this is an amazing find.

-That's German, then.

-This gives more credibility

to the old man's story that
the Nazis were actually using

the pier for something.

-It's got the swastika, the
eagle holding up the swastika.

-I don't have any swastikas
on these chunks.

-You know, the difference
between what you found --

It's got a different
type of eagle.

-Different.
-So our eagle's

a little different,
but this is familiar to you?

-Yeah, I think it's a really
great find, but that's typical

of what the Luftwaffe
used as their emblem

and not the Kriegsmarine.

-Bill believes that the style
of the German eagle seen in

the porcelain pieces found by
the team is one used by

Luftwaffe, or German air force.

This means they were probably
dropped, not by a German sailor,

but rather an airman.

-This plate is obviously a sign
of Nazi presence at the pier,

but it's raising now more
questions than answers.

What's a German air force plate
doing at this pier?

-Well, that's the thing.
We found it in the waters

off of the Dominican Republic.

So the fact that it came
from the Nazi military

and it's in the water off
of Montecristi --

Now, I mean, that at least
is suspicious, right?

I mean, I think
that's suspicious.

-Oh, abso--
-I do.

-Certainly.

These plates were manufactured
in Nazi Germany.

So if you found those
plates in your area,

that shows that there was a
presence of Nazis at that time.

-We've now got this pier in this
remote area that we know

the Nazis were using.

This is starting to look
a lot less to me like your

casual port of resupply.

Are we talking about
a secret Nazi base?

-Could Darrell's
theory be correct?

Is it possible the Nazis were
operating a secret outpost

in Montecristi, something
the Luftwaffe-marked porcelain

might indicate?

And if so, why?

-You made us excited
again, Bill.

You have us excited down here.

-Appreciate it.
-Thank you so much.

-Thank you, sir.

-You know, you guys are on to
something. Keep looking.

If you don't look,
you're not gonna find.

So God bless you.

-I initially came here searching
for U-boats and treasure.

But we're uncovering a much
bigger mystery here.

All signs are pointing to
Montecristi becoming a lot more

important to the Germans than
we've previously suspected.

-This is Third Reich.
-Yep.

-If you're gonna try and make
nine U-boats filled with

treasure disappear,
a secret base in the Caribbean

sounds like a pretty damn good
place to make that happen.

-We're on it, bro.

-I'm more convinced now --
more than ever --

that these subs are here.

And we're not stopping
until we find them.

-On the next "Lost U-Boats
of World War II"...

-What the hell is that?

-It looks like it's
some sort of towing connector.

-That is towing
something enormous.

-It's also rumored that
the Germans used trailers

attached to submarines with
coupling devices

that look like this to smuggle
loot out of Germany

at the end of the war.

-I want to clean this here
and find out

what this may have been.

-What is it?
Your hands are shaking.

-I know.

-Oh, get the hell out of here.

-[ Laughing ]

That's a game-changer, guys.

That's a freaking game-changer.
