Nazi Titanic

Nazi Titanic examines the extraordinary circumstances surrounding the making of a film about the Titanic by Nazi propaganda minister Joseph Goebbels. It highlights how this ambitious project required the diversion of resources from the ongoing war effort, showcasing the scale of the production on the cruise ship SS Cap Arcona in the Baltic Sea.

The documentary also covers the turbulent story of director Herbert Selpin, who faced dire consequences for his comments about the ship's crew. His arrest by the Gestapo and subsequent death just a day later add a tragic layer to this historical narrative. The film was ultimately screened in Nazi-occupied Paris in 1943, far from the grand premiere Goebbels had envisioned.

This documentary falls into genres such as History, Documentary, and War, making it appealing to collectors interested in WWII narratives and unique filmmaking stories. The top cast includes notable figures such as Lee Williams, Adolf Hitler, and Joseph Goebbels, further emphasizing the historical context.
