Killer Submarine: The Sinking Of Wilhelm Gustloff And General Von SteubenThe greatest maritime disaster of all time: toward the end of World War 2, two German ships full of refugees fleeing the advance of Soviet forces were pursued and sunk by Alexander Marinesco's S-13 Russian submarine, sending 13,000 soldiers and civilians, including women and children, to their deaths. Did the Russian captain know who was aboard the ships? Could he have been ordered to sink them precisely because of this, or was it a tragic mistake? Archival documents, expert analysis, and insider interviews (including survivor Heinz Schön) make this a fascinating look at one of the deadliest events in the final days of World War 2. Germany/UK/USA, 1999, B&W/Color, 50 minutes, English narration. |
