June 1944. The Allied armada is crossing the Channel, and the U-boats are coming with a new weapon: the snorkel. Britain had no minelayers to spare, so it used a spy, a wireless set and a lie.
This is the story of TATE, a German agent secretly working for MI5, and the radio messages that helped close a stretch of ocean the size of Cyprus without a single mine being laid. You'll see how Captain Rodger Winn and Commander Ewan Montagu turned Ultra intelligence and the Double Cross System into a weapon against the U-boat fleet.
