When Joseph Goebbles featured the luxurious SS Cap Arcona in a propaganda film about the Titanic, he never imagined this German ocean liner would meet a similar tragic fate. Over the course of the war, one of the most opulent ships ever built would serve many functions: a propagndic coup, a transport vessel, and eventually a concentration camp. This is the story of the Nazi Titanic, a floating metaphor for the war and its casualties. From one of the most luxurious ocean liners ever built to a floating death machine, the tale is even more tragic than Goebbels first intended.
