This is Part 1 of the search for the lost German submarine U869, a shipwreck nearly 250 feet underwater, lying undiscovered for decades, and they had no clue what it was! Some divers thought it might simply be a barge, until they spotted what looked like a torpedo inside!

We talk to Deep Sea Detective Richie Kohler, one of the divers that spent six years trying to figure out which sub it was, and more importantly... what was it doing there?

The fulllength 1hourand40minute version of the video podcast is available for viewing here on History X. However many asked for it divided into shorter segments, so here is Part 1 with additional footage included.
