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.

An overwhelming ending. Did not shy away from the accounts of physical suffering. Names. Dates. Preamble and enough explanation to get the sense of history. Ideology and obedience keep wars going. A righteous mind and organization create death. I’m glad I read it. How will the future catch the prejudice that enters our mind? Remembering these stories maybe.

Any history of war is imperative

This book is heavy on filler and very light on the ship it is supposed to be about.
I do not need to hear details about Nazi atrocities at such and such concentration camp in a book that is supposed to be about a ship.
The author does not stick to the subject at all.
I suspect if he had, this would have been a magazine article, not a book.

Too much background
