Can anyone identify a TV show where one episode dealt with a man whose father died in WWII?

This one goes a long way back, maybe 1970's.

The adult son was fooling with a radio and somehow got in communication with ships (or subs?) from WWII. He was able to
prevent his father dying in the war.

Only thing was, when they came back to the present, the US was occupied by the Germans.

The story line is quite similar to it, but what I saw was older than that. raccoon Feb 2016 #3
It's a fun movie. You should definitely check it out. Frank Cannon Feb 2016 #7

Sounds like an interesting movie, though. I'll have to look into it.

There's a scene where the son asks his dad to somehow deliver an object to him, so that he can run fingerprints on it 30 years in the future. His dad hides it behind a floorboard in the house, so that no one will ever mess with it over the intervening decades. The son reaches back behind the floorboards, and there it is!

One of the better "time travel" movies out there, in my opinion.
