Founded in 1941 by an educator who was a refugee from Nazi Germany, the program grew from one he had produced for the purpose of combating the defeatism that was causing British merchant seamen to give up in the water rather than fight to survive.

The story of two young Americans who participate is narrated by ABC news correspondent Ted Koppel.
