An officer who wished to join the Submarine Service had first to receive a recommendation from his own Captain. He then had to produce either a first-class certificate for his Torpedo examination for Lieutenant or, if he had not that qualification, a certificate from the Torpedo Lieutenant of his ship to the effect that he showed special zeal in that branch of his duties.
Historical documentary which explores the efforts of German soldiers during World War II.
The outbreak of the Second World War meant that both sides had to concentrate a huge amount of their workforce on rearmament, with large amounts of supplies being delivered by air.

The programme includes rare footage of former captains and U-boats in action.
