Not to be confused with a classic fantasy film, Clash of the Titans returns to SBS for more on some of the greatest naval battles of the 20th century.
In the 20th century, the oceans became strategic battlegrounds and the world’s major powers built increasingly powerful warships. Unfortunately, these Clashes of Titans were rarely filmed, and the wrecks of some of these defeated giants now lie at the bottom of the ocean. Co-produced in close collaboration with the famous video game World of Warships, this second season brings us to the discovery of the famous battleship “Bismarck”, the dreadful German U-boats, the extreme and unknown adventures of the Arctic naval convoys, and the story of the French navy during the Second World War.
With the help of historians, engineers, architects and senior officers, this new season will immerse the viewer in the greatest naval battles of the 20th century with ultra-realistic 3D CGI, and drill down into the heart of the superstructures that fought them, uncovering their complex engineering and technological feats.
Season Two, Episode One: Convoys To Hell
From August 1941 until the end of the war, convoys of ships sailing from Scotland ports crossed Arctic waters to transport explosives, tanks as well as food to various Russian ports.
