Silent Victory: Submarine Warfare in WWII

War Documentary hosted by Drew Birdseye, published by Timeless Media in 2009 - English narration



Information
------------------------------

After the devastating losses to America's Pacific Fleet in the surprise attack on Pearl Harbor, the Japanese Imperial Navy ruled supreme in the vast Pacific Ocean. In time, the Pacific Fleet was able to rebuild to take on the Japanese. Much of the publicity went to the aircraft carriers and the Naval Aviators who flew from their decks. Yet, as important as the carriers were, the most significant naval warships in actually prosecuting the war toiled in almost complete obscurity. While battles like those that occurred at Midway, Santa Cruz and Leyte Gulf grabbed the headlines, the Pacific Fleet Submarine Force quietly went about the task of isolating Japan. The submarine fleet crippled Japan's industry and prevented re-supply and reinforcement of Japanese island garrisons by virtually destroying her merchant fleet.
SILENT VICTORY includes rare archival footage of epic naval battles and exclusive veteran interviews, covering the submarine war from the declaration of unrestricted submarine warfare after Pearl Harbor to Japan's unconditional surrender in Tokyo Bay.
Highlights include:
- A detailed history of submarine and torpedo development throughout WWII.
- The complete history of the Silent Service's engagement in the great battles of the Pacific, including Midway, Guadalcanal, Leyte Gulf, and more!
- Exclusive interviews with American Submariners.
- Extra: Interview with Jesse DaSilva, one of 9 survivors aboard the USS Tang, sunk by a faulty torpedo.
