There’s clashing and camaraderie every step of the way as the men use their sharp eyes and skills to assess the value of items from the commonplace to the truly historic, including a 16th century Samurai sword, a Super Bowl ring, a Picasso painting and a 17th century stay of execution. It’s up to them to determine what’s fake and what’s the real deal, as they reveal the answer to the questions on everyone’s mind, “What’s the story behind it?” and “What’s it worth?” S23 (12x60)

SECRET NAZI EXPEDITIONS
Sundays from 23rd October at 21:00

During their rise to power and throughout World War II, Adolf Hitler and SS leader Heinrich Himmler led a secret team of elite scholars and archaeologists known as the ‘Ahnenerbe,’ whose covert mission was to rewrite history and establish the superiority of the Aryan race, a belief that dominated Nazi ideology. Abandoning science and embracing the occult, the Ahnenerbe conducted dangerous expeditions to the furthest reaches of the planet – all on a hunt for ancient knowledge and artefacts that could deliver Germany a supernatural edge on the battlefield and everlasting world domination for the Third Reich. Revealing the extraordinary true story behind these epic and twisted quests, Secret Nazi Expeditions draws on new evidence, original research, and expert testimony to expose these little-known yet extraordinary claims and discoveries designed to feed Hitler’s propaganda machine.
