In late 1940, the Italian Navy attempts one of the most daring sabotage missions of the Second World War—sending elite frogmen on manned torpedoes to infiltrate the heavily defended British naval base at Gibraltar.

In this episode, we follow Operazione Baia di Gibilterra 1 e 2—a mission carried out not with fleets, but with stealth, endurance, and experimental underwater weapons.
From the cold black waters off Spain to the decks of British battleships, this is the real story of Italy’s first underwater special forces raid.

No gunfire. No headlines. Just silence, sabotage... and the birth of modern naval special warfare.
