How Two Men Discovered Hitler's Lost Sub and Solved One of the Last Mysteries of World War II.

The compelling true story of the divers who uncovered one of the last mysteries of the second World War.

February 1945. A German U-boat reaches American waters after an agonising three months and founders, blasted apart by unknown causes. All fifty-six Nazi soldiers die, entrapped within the submarine.

September 1991. Two deep shipwreck divers receive a tip-off from a local fisherman about a site off the New Jersey coast. What they discover defies belief: a Nazi U-boat, 230 feet underwater. No government, historian, navy, or expert has any idea which sub it is or why it's there. The recommended limit for diving is 130 feet, but John Chatterton and Richie Kohler know that if they don't take the risk, the mystery of the wreck will remain unsolved.

'Shadow Divers' is the extraordinary story of the six-year quest for Hitler's lost sub. In the attempt to identify the sunken U-boat and its crew, the team teach themselves military German, turn back fanatics and conspiracy theorists, and piece together an incredible story. In between, they make some of the most daring and dangerous scuba dives ever attempted.

Deep shipwreck diving is perhaps the world's deadliest sport, and John Chatterton and Richie Kohler pushed its limits to the final breath.

This is a beautifully written, dramatic book about the daring and endurance of a handful of men determined to solve a mystery - or die in the attempt.
