US Navy Lieutenant Albert David wasn't your typical war hero. He was a humble engineer thrust into the heart of an unthinkable mission: capturing a German U-boat at sea. In the vast expanse of the Atlantic, during the heat of World War II, David led a daring raid, boarding the U-505 in a face-to-face confrontation with the enemy. His success not only turned the tide of the war, but also uncovered a trove of intelligence that changed the course of the conflict. David's story is a testament to the courage of one man, the power of ingenuity, and the unwavering spirit that defined the Allied victory.
