In this episode:
In March 1943, two Allied convoys, HX.229 and SC.122, set sail from North America to Britain, comprising nearly 100 ships carrying vital food and raw materials for the Allied war effort. Commander John Gordon Luther leads the short-handed escort group protecting the convoy. But with at least two ships missing, he lacks sufficient defenses against the mid-Atlantic U-boat attack planned by Karl Dönitz, grand admiral of the German Navy. For three days, the convoys endure relentless torpedo attacks and a brutal Atlantic winter storm. Many ships are hit, and Luther faces a constant dilemma: protect the convoy or rescue survivors from torpedoed ships. This battle, the largest convoy engagement of World War II, almost costs the Allies the Battle of the Atlantic.
Hell Below is an event-based series charting the stealth game of sub-sea warfare, tracking the dramatic narrative from contact to attack of the greatest submarine patrols of World War II. From the rise of the Wolfpack to the drive for victory in the Pacific, we profile the strategic masterminds and the rapid evolution of technology and tactics, as the threat of undersea warfare brings every sailor's worst nightmare to life. Expert analysis and stock footage are woven with narrative-driven re-enactments filmed on authentic Second World War-era submarines to place the characters at the heart of the action.
