Raising of the U534
Off the coast of Norway on May 5, 1945, with World War II all but over, a British Royal Air Force plane, a RAF Liberator, sank a German U-boat, the U534. The sub's crew didn't know its cargo, but rumors were rife: a hoard of gold, stolen and looted art treasures, perhaps even Hitler's mistress, Eva Braun, herself. During the attack, the ship's crew managed to scramble to safety just as the damaged but mostly intact hull of the U534 slipped down into one of the deepest crevices of the freezing sea. After 50 years underwater, and in almost impossible salvage conditions, the U534 reveals its secrets as leading salvage experts raise the wreck and find out what the ship carried in its hold.
