What they didn't state in the program but is very obvious is that for a person to be protected from small arms fire by water they would need to be completely submerged and perhaps at least a foot beneath the surface. The most common scenario under assault conditions would be for the troops in the water to be breathing hard and trying to avoid drowning. i.e. NOT completely submerged. The water would have been little protection and would if anything have helped the German gunners to adjust their aim.
