Operation Sea Lion: Part 2

Spring, 1945.

Two high-ranking SS officers in Hitler's empire, who have seen the writing on the wall for the Third Reich, are plotting their escape. With warehouses of counterfeit cash and hoards of stolen art, Karl Wolff and Ernst Karltenbrunner aren't just concealing their treasonous plots against their colleagues, but also each other.

Join James Holland and Al Murray as they uncover the audacious plans of two rivals plotting the same escape... and all unwittingly connected by the Allied spymaster, Allan Dulles.

The Duel: The Nazi Escape Plan (Part 1)

April-May, 1945.

Karl Wolff and Ernst Karltenbrunner are running out of time, and options. Interrogated by Himmler, and Hitler himself in the ruins of Berlin, their scheming is frustrated at every turn - even car rides and family members risk getting them killed. 

Join Jim and Al for the incredible endgame of the SS rivals from part 1. As the circle of vengeful Allied forces close in, will Wolff and Karltenbrunner find a Nuremberg noose around their necks? And will their high-profile prisoners hidden in Italy be the final victims of the Nazis in WW2?
