On this edition of Road Gang Radio, host Jimmy Mac sits down with Charles Lachman, acclaimed author and executive producer of Inside Edition, to discuss his latest book:

Codename Nemo: The Hunt for a Nazi U-Boat and the Elusive Enigma Machine

Two days before D-Day, the course of World War II shifted forever. The U.S. Navy’s Task Group 22.3 captured Nazi submarine U-505, its crew, and its Enigma machine—an unprecedented feat that dramatically shortened the war. This white-knuckled saga follows the daring nine-man boarding party and the leadership of Captain Daniel Gallery in one of the most important naval missions in U.S. history.

In this interview:

The thrilling story behind Codename Nemo

Why the capture of U-505 was a turning point in WWII

The high-risk gamble of seizing an intact enemy warship

How this intelligence breakthrough shaped the war’s outcome

Charles Lachman is also the author of The Last Lincolns, A Secret Life, Footsteps in the Snow, and more.
