Lost U-Boats of WWII

I guess Darrell Miklos got tired of looking for "Cooper's Treasure," his previous show on the History Channel. He's moved on from lost Spanish treasure galleons seen from outer space, to "lost" Nazi U-boats, supposedly refitted to haul stolen European wealth to South America.

Seeing that his previous series was pretty much a bust, it makes one wonder what possessed the execs at History Channel to fund another of his pipe dreams?

A lot of this is the same sort of stuff you saw in "Cooper's Treasure." Guys riding around in a boat dragging a magnetometer. Guys scuba diving, sweeping the sea floor with handheld metal detectors. Guys not being able to do anything due to weather conditions.

Nothing new. Nothing interesting. Nothing to see here, that you haven't seen before.

This is a mildly interesting story, and I can see the plausibility of their theories, however, there is a very real flaw in their approach that makes it less credible in my eyes. Repeatedly, they are finding and casually handling, what they believe to be munitions from WWII. In reality, this would be an incredibly DANGEROUS thing for them to do!

Any such unexploded ordinance, submerged for 70-plus years, would be highly unstable and unpredictable. It might be totally inert and safe to handle... it might explode in your hand with the slightest jar! You simply can't know, which is one of many reasons why diving the wreck sites of military ships is often controlled or discouraged.

That they repeatedly do so, without any comment on the potential hazard, leads me to wonder if they are simply uninformed, reckless, or well aware that what they are handling is not real?

Okay we know there's tons of boats all over the ocean...still searching for the 5, 7, 11 (pick a number) of "Modified UBoats containing blah blah blah...yawn...more of this???!??? This is the best content you got besides digging on Oak Island...Geez.. You can watch an entire episode in about 7-10 mins MAX!! The story is so slow going. There just isn't enough of a reveal to slog through watching them worried about ocean tides and adding drama that NOBODY cares about. Show us more in each episode or just make it an 2-night 2 hour History Channel Special. History Channel AGAIN has a potential story but they make each episode just not worth the time. I'd rather just read about the discoveries online than watch anymore of this...

As usual these real time expeditions is a waste of time. So far nothing of any consequence has been found and the dialog assumptions are strictly played for the camera. As typical of the History Channel as with The Curse of Oak Island NOTHING IS EVER FOUND. History Channel!!!! Why do you continue to offer there boring and unfruitful shows? Are they cheap to produce?

I never did watch the Curse of Oak Island because I knew what to expect but I really did hope the Lost U Boats would restore my faith in the History Channel. MOVE ON!!!! Offer shows that have some sense of satisfaction as in a learning experience. Now that would be worth watching.

This has to be the dumbest show on TV. These guys are totally not credible. As divers, they are terrible and have no respect for the environment. The so called experts on the show have very little credibility. It's a shame, because I love WW2 history and I'm a dive instructor. I don't think I've yelled at the TV this much ever. I keep hoping it will turn around, but alas, it doesn't appear that it will. I also metal detect and laughed at the archeologist who obviously had no clue how to operate one. I also watch the diver's on the Bermuda Triangle show. Those guys are legit and know how to dive and research what they find. Maybe The idiots on this show could take some lessons from them! Lol.
