When the hunters become the hunted.

S1 E1: Operation Atlantic
S1 E1 Operation Atlantic
Feb 24, 1985Autumn 1941. The crew of the U 96 celebrates its last day on land in La Rochelle, France. The exuberance of the men is nothing more than the fear of the next mission, which could be the last. War correspondent Lieutenant Werner does not understand the apparent cheerfulness, as he does not yet know the pitiless harshness of the war in a cramped submarine.
