7,000 Lives Lost: The Tragic Sinking of the SS Cap Arcona

Video Description

This documentary unveils the tragic story of the German luxury liner SS Cap Arcona, from its glamorous 1920s debut as the "Queen of the South Atlantic" to its devastating end during World War II. Initially a symbol of German pride, it was later entangled in Nazi propaganda and ultimately became a floating prison for concentration camp survivors. Mistakenly attacked by the RAF in the war's final days, the Cap Arcona sank, resulting in a horrific loss of life, a tragedy concealed for decades.
