Examining the Tirpitz Graveyard | Nazi Mega Weapons: Hitler's Megaships

Learn what is left of the Tirpitz today. Despite a salvage operation in the 1950s, close to 20% of the Tirpitz is still scattered across the bottom of the Fjord. For the first time, documentary cameras reveal what remains of Hitler's single biggest weapon. They find ladders, shells and cordite. More personal artifacts include sailors boots, buttons, and a book.
