Video Description
It’s late 1939, and World War 2 has just erupted in Europe. The Royal Navy dominates the seas around Britain, blocking every safe route home for Hitler’s Kriegsmarine. For the German tanker Altmark, stationed in the South Atlantic, this is the worst possible scenario. Captain Heinrich Dau, the man the British call “the nastiest Nazi who ever sailed the seas,” sits on her bridge staring at a dispatch. Things keep getting worse: his companion vessel, Admiral Graf Spee, has been scuttled off Montevideo. Now Dau sails unprotected and alone. He could vanish into South America, abandon ship, and slip away from the Royal Navy patrols hunting him across the open seas. But he knows Altmark is too valuable to his Führer. One way or another, he must get her back to Germany. The enemy closes from beyond the horizon, but below deck, a bigger threat brews as the most dangerous cargo grows restless.
