In the first episode of Dig WW2, historian Dan Snow investigates the history of
the Second World War in Northern Ireland, participating in archaeological digs
and dives of military sites across the country. He discovers the gripping story
of the Northern Irish pilot who became the most successful U-boat hunter of all
time.
He also dives to the wreck of the famed U-155 and reveals the essential role
that Belfast's Harland and Wolff had in developing the famous Churchill Tank,
fundamental to the march of the North Irish Horse to capture Rome. Meanwhile,
in Donegal, a major excavation reveals the 70-year-old Spitfire flown by US
pilot Bud Wolfe, who was forced to bail out just minutes after leaving RAF
Eglington, now City of Derry Airport.

In our third and final episode of Dig WW2, historian Dan Snow travels to Lough
Foyle to dive on a Flying Fortress that never made it on a bombing raid.
Unearthing stories of the crew, we hear how they miraculously survived the
crash helped by a local woman and her sailboat. He then heads to the shores of
Lough Neagh where, at RAF Cluntoe, pilots and crew were trained for flying
missions all over Europe. Finally, he reveals the climactic end of the Battle
of the Atlantic on the River Foyle docks, where the German navy surrendered
their U-boat fleet and from where they set out to be sunk off Malin Head. Dan
returns to this U-boat graveyard to dive on one very special submarine, which
could have spelled victory over Germany, but arrived just too late.
