Operation Teardrop: The Secret WWII Submarine Hunt Exposed

Uncover the hidden story of Operation Teardrop, one of the most secretive naval operations of World War II. In April 1945, as Nazi Germany crumbled, Allied intelligence intercepted messages indicating that German U-boats had left bases in Norway carrying unknown cargo toward the United States East Coast. American commanders feared these submarines could launch V-1 flying bombs or V-2 rockets, or deploy chemical weapons in a final desperate attack against major cities like New York and Washington DC. To counter this threat, the US Navy launched Operation Teardrop, deploying hunter-killer groups led by escort carriers USS Bogue and USS Core, supported by destroyer escorts such as USS Frost, USS Stanton, USS Hayter, USS Neunzer, and USS Flaherty. Between mid-April and early May 1945, five German U-boats — U-1235, U-880, U-518, U-546, and U-881 — were hunted down and destroyed in fierce battles across the North Atlantic. This documentary reveals the tragic sinking of USS Frederick C. Davis by U-546, resulting in 115 American deaths – the last US warship lost in Atlantic combat. Learn about the secret interrogations at Fort Hunt, Virginia, where captured German submariners were questioned about Nazi rocket programs and rumored atomic research. Why did U-530 and U-977 surrender in Argentina months later, fueling theories of Nazi escapes to South America? Was Operation Teardrop truly just a submarine hunt, or part of a wider search for Hitler’s secret weapons and scientists? Join us as we explore declassified files, combat footage, and survivor testimonies to reveal the final submarine campaign of WWII, a mission driven by fear, secrecy, and the race to prevent Germany’s last possible strike.
