The Most Dangerous Transfer of WW2

Video Description

It is Spring 1943. The height of World War 2. Off the coast of Madagascar, a never-before-attempted mid-ocean transfer is underway. Atop the conning tower of German U-180 stands Subhas Chandra Bose—once Gandhi’s star disciple, now a fugitive armed with a plan to bring the British Empire to its knees. Suddenly, the sea erupts. Just ninety yards away, the Japanese submarine I-29 bursts from the depths. Steel meets moonlight. The black water seethes between the two vessels as a rubber raft is hurled into the waves, instantly caught in the swell. Time is of the essence. Allied sonar patrols could descend at any moment. Bose jumps in. A wave slams into the raft, flipping it. He vanishes beneath the surface. Panic erupts. Shouts ring out in German and Japanese. Flashlights rake the sea. Bose must reach Asia—if he unites the Indian diaspora and marches west with an army of his own—the sun may finally set on the British Empire. - As images and footage of actual events are not always available, Dark Docs sometimes utilizes similar historical images and footage for dramatic effect.
