Untold history of World War 2. Secret missions, heroes they don't talk about in school.
Although he shot down only 9 enemy planes, Hans-Ulrich Rudel was definitely one of the greatest German combat pilots. However, he is not as widely-known as Erich Hartmann or Adolf Galland, most likely because he was not a fighter pilot but a “Stuka” dive bomber pilot. German Field Marshall Ferdinand Schörner famously claimed that, “Rudel alone is worth an entire division!”

Shortly after Great Britain declared war on Nazi Germany, Fritz Lemp, commander of german submarine U-30 made a ghastly mistake. He attacked and sunk passenger liner with over 1400 passengers on board. Germans had done everything they could possibly, do to cover it up!
