DILARA: You dived here and found a shipwreck?
RASIM: Yes, we are more of less situated above it.
DILARA: Can I see the footage you took during your dives?
RASIM: The Ottoman ships were there.
DILARA: Forming a half moon?
RASIM: Yes, a battle formation of a half moon.
DILARA: So the Ottoman fleet were left defenseless.
RASIM: Outsiders referred to this area
as hell at the time.
RASIM: The Russians hauled out the ship
as a trophy of their victory.
But about 6 to 7 miles from Sinop,
with the decks collapsing and hull full of holes
the ship was taking on too much water.
At that point they gave up their trophy ship, the Nesim-i-Zafer,
allowing it to finally sink.
Instead they took 100 members of her crew prisoner
and they just left the ship behind.
RUDOLPH: In the winter of 1941, the German Army suffered enormous losses in Russia.
Then the attack had to be stopped and was to be continued in 1942...
and that's why Hitler's orders were
that submarines had to be sent to the Black Sea
to keep the Russian fleet in their ports
and thank God that worked.
But of course the whole thing was far too late in the course of the war.
RUDOLPH: That was an awful moment for a commander having to sink his boat.
Whether you wanted to or not,
you had developed a very close relationship with your boat.
The submarine was actually life insurance for us.
As long as the boat worked... we lived.
RUDOLPH: I made this sketch to illustrate the spot where the crew went ashore.
I came up with the idea
just to draw a sketch of what I saw on that dark night
and that can possibly be used as a clue today.
SELCUK: Good day, Mr. Arendt.
RUDOLPH: After 14 years we meet again.
RUDOLPH: Now you have found the boat.
SELCUK: Yes, and the day after tomorrow
I am personally diving to the boat
to closely examine the places
where you positioned the explosives.
RUDOLPH: The explosives we put
at the front by the torpedo tubes
and another in the periscope shaft
and the third at the back on the ammunition box.
The explosives took seven minutes to detonate.
Therefore we only had seven minutes to leave the boat
and paddle away from the submarine.
So we were quite close when it exploded.
There was a huge explosion at the stern of the boat.
RUDOLPH: It would make me happy if I could get some pictures of the boat.
SELCUK: I will certainly do that.
RUDOLPH: Lovely, Mr. Kolay, all the best,
I wish you success on the dive.
SELCUK: Thank you very much.
