They Banned His “Upside Down” Radio Wire — Until It Saved an Entire Convoy from U Boats

In February 1943, a lone radioman aboard a North Atlantic destroyer broke every regulation in the Navy handbook. His invention — an “upside-down” radio wire strung along the ship’s hull — was banned for being unsafe, untested, and completely unorthodox. Yet that same night, it picked up faint Morse echoes beneath the waves — the approach of eleven German U-boats. What happened next would save an entire convoy of 43 Allied ships from destruction. This documentary follows the true story of the sailor who rewired the rules of naval warfare with nothing but instinct, scrap metal, and courage. Through archived mission logs, intercepted transmissions, and survivor testimonies, we uncover how one forbidden signal trick turned chaos into survival.
