artifacts, and carefully selected interviews from eyewitnesses and experts -
events are reconstructed and historical questions are finally answered.
Inside Hitler's Bunker
In January 1945, Hitler retreated to an underground bunker and never saw the
light of day again. Using period photographs, state-of-the-art mapping
techniques and the original plans, the UH team reconstructs this
still-buried Nazi stronghold - revealing the precise subterranean locations
where Hitler conducted military briefings, married Eva Braun and even shot
himself.
Death of the USS Maine
Sail back in time and learn the truth about the naval disaster that almost
single-handedly sparked the Spanish-American War. Naval engineers walk
through a forensic autopsy of the wreckage and - for the first time - tell
the real story of the destruction of the USS Maine.
The Alamo
American myth has Alamo-icon Davy Crockett dying on his feet, clubbing
swarms of Mexican soldiers as he defended Texas soil. But, myth may be
wrong. Join top historians and archaeologists as they search this historic
site, challenging the traditional take on events and weaving a historical
path through the eyes of an actual Alamo eyewitness.
Death of the Red Baron
He was the greatest flying ace of WWI – yet his mighty red triplane was
brought down by a single bullet. The question is: Who fired that fatal shot?
Investigators use the latest techniques in ballistic analysis, microscopic
forensics and computer flight simulators to find out what happened on the
final flight of the Kaiser's finest air warrior.
Shoot-Out at the O.K. Corral
The legends of Wyatt Earp and Doc Holliday have thrived over the years, but
can they stand up to a modern forensic investigation? Detectives and
ballistic experts break down every aspect of the O.K. Corral scuffle to
determine if this "shoot-out" between lawmen and outlaws was nothing more
than a homicide.
The Boston Massacre
It's remembered as the violent catalyst of the American Revolution, but most
of what we think we know of the Boston Massacre is wrong. Historians, legal
authorities and even acoustic experts test eyewitness accounts, stage an
elaborate reenactment and reveal that the only thing massacred that night
was the truth!
JFK – Death in Dealey Plaza
Join the Unsolved History team as they piece together stills and flickering
images from more than a dozen photographers who had their cameras trained on
the presidential motorcade that day in Dallas. Investigators reveal a
seamless celluloid timeline that debunks the conspiracy theories and
documents the jubilant entry into Dealey Plaza – and the final, tragic
moments that followed.
The Roman Colosseum
Take your seat among the unwashed masses and experience an average day at
the mighty Roman Colosseum. Scientists create a virtual reality simulation
of the structure as they try to solve the most colossal mystery of all: Was
this arena ever flooded – as legend has it – for the sake of a mock naval
battle?
Wilhelm Gustloff – Deadliest Sea Disaster
When Germany's mightiest luxury liner went down in the frigid Baltic Sea in
early 1945, it marked the worst maritime disaster in history – six times the
Titanic's number were lost. Watch as experts reconstruct the anatomy of the
sinking to determine what went wrong and how this behemoth slipped silently
underwater in less than an hour.
JFK – Altered Statesman
Go beyond the Cuban Missile Crisis, the rumors of infidelity, Marilyn Monroe
and examine the most troubling aspect of JFK's administration: narcotics.
Historians and former insiders reveal that Kennedy's policies were as much a
product of his chemical dependency as they were his political ideology.
Death of Princess Diana
Was it just an accident...or something more? In France, photographic and
acoustic experts recreate the sights and sounds of the crash that killed
Diana. While back in the U.S., stunt drivers meticulously reconstruct the
crash – producing a startling, detailed portrait of the last five minutes of
Diana's life.
