With echoes of
Unbroken ; the derring-do and bravado of
The Right Stuff ; and the battle-forged camaraderie of
Band of Brothers , this is the World War II Story of 95-year-old veteran George Morgan and the Underwater Demolition Teams.
And for all of us..
From the black sand beaches of Iwo Jima to the shark infested reefs of Okinawa, to the cold seas of Tokyo Bay, teenaged George Morgan was there before most, fighting for his life.
Moving closer to Japan, the enemy\'s island defenses were growing more elaborate and its soldiers more fanatical.
He\'d have to master the sea, muster superhuman grit, and overcome the demons of Omaha Beach.
Led by maverick Naval Reserve Officer Draper Kauffman, Morgan would spend the fierce final year of the war swimming up to Enemy controlled beaches to gather intel and detonate underwater barriers.
Today, we call them frogmen--and Navy SEALS.
GIs called them half fish, half nuts.
Outfitted with swim trunks, a dive mask, and fins, he was sent to Hawaii and then on to deployments in the Pacific as a member of the elite and pioneering Underwater Demolition Teams.
When he returned stateside, Morgan learned that his service was only beginning.
His first assignment: Omaha Beach on D-Day.
Morgan was just a wiry, 17-year-old lifeguard from New Jersey when he joined the Navy\'s new combat Demolition unit, tasked to blow up enemy coastal defenses ahead of landings by Allied forces.
Into Enemy Waters details the origins and heroic missions of World War II\'s most elite and daring unit of warriors, told through the eyes of one of its last living members, 95-year-old George Morgan.
Forerunners of the Navy SEALs, the elite unit was given nearly impossible pre-invasion missions from D-Day to the most crucial landings in the Pacific Theater.
