The Nazi Titanic: The Most Expensive Propaganda Film in History

In 1943, Nazi Germany made the world's most expensive propaganda film: "Titanic." The story of the Nazi Titanic ends even more tragically than the story of the real Titanic. We relied on Robert P. Watson's book "The Nazi Titanic," and this excellent article by The Times of Israel: http://www.timesofisrael.com/goebbels-titanic-cinematic-disaster-turns-70/?fb_comment_id=633081316715300_102564287 UPDATE: We just learned a "Nazi Titanic" movie is already in the works. We can't wait to see it.    Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

We talk about true stories that we think should be made into TV shows or movies. First we talk about why they belong on-screen -- then we talk about how we'd like to see them on-air: Who should direct, who should write, who should star. We dig up lesser-known people whose stories deserve to be told, forgotten moments in history, and fresh angles on very familiar memories.Your hosts, Tim and Deirdre, are married writers who only recommend stories that we would personally want to see.
