It's In German!



TITANIC-1943-Yes, this is a version of the famous Ocean Liner tragedy only it’s in German and was made during WW2! Here however The English are viewed as being greedy capitalists who care more about money than they do human life. Of course The Germans in steerage are quite honorable.

Supposedly Hitler’s minister of propaganda Joseph Gobbells decided after its initial release that it was too much of a “downer” during such a turbulent time and recalled it. For many years it was considered a lost film but fortunately copies turned up. Parts of it are hard to follow because everyone is speaking German but it’s well made and acted. 


Thanks for reading!
