Finding the Graf Zeppelin

Overview

In 2006, a Polish oil company made a groundbreaking discovery in the Baltic Sea, uncovering the long-lost wreck of Germany's first and only aircraft carrier, the Graf Zeppelin, resting 80 meters below the surface near Gdansk. This revelation put an end to a maritime enigma that had puzzled historians for over fifty years. The film chronicles the fascinating journey of the Graf Zeppelin, detailing its construction, untimely sinking, and the remarkable recovery of its remains decades later. Once a colossal war vessel, it was never deployed as intended and ultimately became a target for the Russians off Poland's coast. Featuring exclusive access to private archives, cutting-edge animation, dramatic reenactments, and advanced underwater filming, the documentary brings this extraordinary tale to life.
