Episode 38: WWI Sea Monster Attacks Part 2 - Monsters of the Infernal Regions

Matt and EJ conclude their investigation of the sea monster legends of World War I. Were German U Boats the victims of monster attacks? And why would soldiers concoct such outlandish stories about their missions and losses? We talk naval warfare, the Lusitania, plesiosaur biology and life on the most dangerous ships on the seas. 

Episode 37: WW1 Sea Monster Attacks Part 1 - Sails, Subs and Serpents

During World War I, a new kind of naval warfare emerged: the submarine. Over the course of the German U Boat campaign in the British Isles and the Mediterranean, more than two hundred submarines were lost. While most of these were the result of attacks or accidents, two of the subs disappeared under more mysterious circumstances. According to legend, they were destroyed by massive sea monsters.
