-- Series alternative title "Hell Below" in Smithsonian networks --
Hell Under the Sea is heading to new heights in Season 3 when series takes a deep dive into the undersea battles that changed the course of World War II.
Submarines demand a special breed of warrior-volunteers and never conscripts, self-sufficient enough to operate far forward of logistical support and any chance of rescue. Tenacious and aggressive, submariners often fight alone. Expert analysis and stock footage are woven with narrative driven re-enactments placing the characters at the heart of the action.
"Hell Under the Sea" traces the course of submarine warfare in World War II and leads to important battle locations in the Atlantic and Pacific. In addition to the decisions made by the strategists and commanders, the individual episodes also take a look at the rapid technical changes that repeatedly fueled the game of cat and mouse between hunters and hunted.
Filmed aboard Second World War era submarines, we witness the legendary stealth as submarines penetrate enemy defenses to collect intelligence or launch an attack at a time and place of their choosing. Beyond sinking military targets, submarine attacks also create chaos and unnerve their adversaries, as they face an unpredictable and even sometimes, invisible enemy.
