Seehunde and Narco subs – a movie report on smal submarines and narcotics

Der folgende Film entstand im Sommer 2025 während eines Segeltrips in der Nähe von Fehmarn auf der Ostsee und zeigt die Geschichte der Seehunde – kleinen U-Booten zum Ende des zweiten Weltkriegs, sowie der Drogeneinsatz bei deren U-Boot Besatzungen in Relation zu dem heutigen Drogenschmuggel mit Mini-U-Booten. Nach einer Einleitung zeigen wir einen Zusammenschnitt von Szenen aus Dokumentationen als Basis unserer Recherchen zu dem Thema.

Folgende Dokumentationen wurden als Quellen herangezogen, teils auszugsweise gezeigt und empfehlen wir als ganzen Film zu dem Thema anzuschauen, weil diese sehr aufschlussreich sind.
