A Deadly Mistake - The Sinking of the U-352

 

During WWII the U-352 was one of the German Submarines that patrolled the East Coast waiting to ambush any merchant vessel that dared cross their path. On May 9, 1942 the U-352 mistook the Coast Guard Cutter USS  Icarus for a merchant ship and fired upon her. A deadly mistake. This  program includes: the story of the sinking, complete with historical photographs; an interview from one of the divers that discovered the wreck in the Graveyard of the Atlantic; and footage of the sub on the bottom and deep within her hull.
