I remembers this on PBS back in the 80's
In 1939-1941 the German Navy accelerated U-Boat production and unleashed their subs in the Atlantic, while the Allies scrambled to defend vulnerable convoys. Captured German film shows U-Boat C--in-C Admiral Karl Donitz and leading U-Boat "aces" like top scorer Günther Prien (200,000 tons sunk) in action. The Germans defeated France and built concrete U-Boat pens along the Bay of Biscay, allowing them unfettered access to the World's oceans. This period of great success was known as "Die Glückliche Zeit" (The Happy Time) by U-Boat crews. Excellent archival footage from the "Victory at Sea" TV series with an all time great musical score by Richard Rogers. Get this video and much more on our "Dive! Dive! Dive!" DVD. http://bit.ly/1rGeT5A Zeno Zeno's Warbird Video Drive-In http://www.zenoswarbirdvideos.com Zeno's Flight Shop DVD Video Store World War 2 Air & Sea, vintage jets & more http://www.zenosflightshop.com/
The narrator and the musical background was perfect.
Much better than most of the crap on TV today.
