Product Description
In April of 1942, a pivotal theatre of WWII was centered just ten miles off the coast of North Carolina at the tip of Diamond Shoals near Cape Hatteras. Ships were sunk by German U-boats at a rate of one per day. Lifeboats and wreckage ferrying forlorn victims floated out to sea and many vanished without a trace.
On the Outer Banks, corpses washed up on the beaches along with millions of barrels of oil. There were whispered rumors of German sympathizers, spies and saboteurs. Thousands of servicemen appeared on the tiny, sparsely populated islands. Romance blossomed with Spring flowers while other newfound friendships went down with so many ships.
War Zone Part Two portrays how life was altered when war was waged on Outer Bankers' doorsteps. Learn the truth behind decades old urban legends of German spies, sympathizers and saboteurs. Featured is an eyewitness account of the almost calamitous first engagement between a U-boat and a U.S. Navy destroyer. Experience the surprising reactions of American servicemen toward enemy sailors when U-boats are finally sunk off the Outer Banks.
