About
In February 1942, at the height of Nazi Germany’s submarine offensive in American waters, an oil tanker and a US Navy destroyer cross paths with a U-boat off the Jersey Shore.
Horror and heroism abound in this forgotten story of the R.P. Resor and USS Jacob Jones.
Presented by K.A. Nelson, author of Killing Shore: The True Story of Hitler’s U-Boats Off the New Jersey Coast (2024, Casemate Publishers)
