Synopsis

Built in 1927, the German ocean liner Cap Arcona was the greatest ship since the Titanic. When the Nazis seized control, she was stripped down for use as a floating barracks and troop transport. Hitler's minister, Joseph Goebbels, later cast her as a "star" in the epic propaganda film about the sinking of the legendary Titanic. In the Third Reich's final desperate days, when SS Cap Arcona was mistakenly bombed by the British Air Force, concentration camp prisoners packed the ship.

Although the British government sealed many documents pertaining to the ship's sinking, Robert P. Watson has unearthed forgotten records and conducted many interviews. The Nazi Titanic is a riveting and astonishing story about an enigmatic ship that played a devastating role in World War II.

Goodreads review by Dave on October 15, 2016

Book is more than the German's answer to a luxury liner. Hitler wanted his own Hollywood, he certainly could make better movies than Jews. Driving the director endlessly for the perfect propaganda film of the Titanic and then hanging him. The making of the movie like Keystone Kops, the model used fo......more
