Nova: Hitler's Sunken Secret

To be frank, the path to the conclusion of this nearly hour-long documentary is desperately laborious and ultimately unnecessary. We watch a lengthy effort to retrieve cargo from a sunken ship, with the creators having the cargo list the entire time and knowing full well that it wasn't significant from a military standpoint. The commentary on the screen says, "We are witnessing an attempt to uncover the last great secret of World War II..." German nuclear research during the war is well-documented, and a documentary on the Nazis' attempt to build a nuclear bomb would have to look completely different. It's a superficial endeavor.
