About this listen
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.

More difficult (on the soul) than anticipated
This book was good. On the ship referred to as the Nazi Titanic, the book was well researched and interesting, especially that the film shot of the ship for the exterior sinking scenes were ultimately used in two movies. On the realities of what actually happened to the ship, it was a lot to take in, and very disturbing. These is a lot of holocaust detail in the book as it is, but the graphic details of the last part of this book were horrific. I kept listening because to bear witness, and I didn’t want the luxury of just walking away, but some of what I heard will haunt me for a long time. Consider this a trauma warning. There was one uplifting part towards the end, when the author chronicled the lives of several survivors, which I appreciated.

Very Heavy but enlightening
I studied the holocaust at University and have read a lot of books on Nazi Propaganda. This book offered something new on the subject of their propaganda, their voyage into making movies, and the mass slaughters that occurred moving prisoners from camps to ships. That was hard to read about but it did further my understanding of what happened. It wasn't as simple as the allied powers came into Germany, Hitler killed himself, and then the war was over. There is a bigger story there.
