Operation Drumbeat: Nazi Threat in the Gulf

While Allied Forces clashed on the battlefields of Europe and the Pacific, a threat was brewing closer to home. German submarines lurked beneath the waters of the Gulf of Mexico and the Atlantic, just a few miles from the Florida coast. Operation Drumbeat: Nazi Threat in the Gulf, featured a 30-foot replica of a two-man WWII-era German Seehund “midget” submarine which was constructed by local exhibit designers Creative Arts as part of H2’s new reality show, Museum Men. WWII-era artifacts recovered by local deep-ocean shipwreck exploration company Odyssey Marine Exploration from the SS Gairsoppa shipwreck were also featured in the exhibition.
