This is a two-episode video series, each episode lasting approximately 80 minutes. This video series, together with the video series "Unknown War 2: The Man with Two Faces," is a remake of the older television series "The Unknown War (1971)." Two video series were released due to the long total duration. The original music by Danae Evangelou from the opening credits of the 1971 television series is the same music heard in the opening credits of the video series. These two video series were broadcast as a television series by ANT1 under the title "The Unknown War (1990)" when the station began operating, and it was the first Greek television series broadcast by the station. That television series was rerun in 1995 by New Channel.
This World War II documentary rests on an unusual thesis: it argues that, in the wake of Pearl Harbor, the actions precipitated by the U.S.A.F. that truly helped turn the tide were perpetrated not by the widely-ballyhooed U.S.N. aviators or aircraft carriers, but by the American submarines - silent warriors beneath the deceptively placid ocean surface. The subs, after all, were responsible for gravely wounding Japan's industry, all but destroying the Japanese merchant fleet, and therefore preventing reinforcement of Japanese military garrisons. In relaying this story, the program draws on a series of interviews with military veterans, and endless archival footage of naval battles that chronologically tells the gripping story of the Pacific Front of the war.

Some fifty to sixty thousands were saved and transferred in France, often at pitiful conditions. This is for the first time, the story of this tragedy, told in the brilliant style of the authors of "Apocalypse".
