Wissenswertes
This film's closing epilogue states: "Over 9000 people lost their lives that night [the Gustloff ship sank]. Most were women and children. There has never been a formal investigation."

Patzer
In the film, Military Captain Petri argues that the ship should sail in deep water, and have its navigation lights on to avoid a collision. While Civilian Captain Kehding argues that the ship should sail near the cost and keep off the navigation lights. Realistically, these roles should be reversed. Petri's strategies are against military protocol, despite him being a military officer, while Kehding's strategies all apply to military protocol, despite him being a civilian. In real life, the military captain argued that they should follow military protocol, while the civilian captain argued against it.

A Sensational Film!

And by "sensational" I mean "over-dramatic" and "too sentimental."

Read Gunter Grass' Crabwalk or watch the original film Nacht fiel über Gotenhafen for a much more critical, and thereby realistic, depiction of the worst maritime disaster in recorded history. Tanja Dückers Celestial Bodies does a pretty good job as well.

Hollywood-caliber films that attempt to make a blockbuster out of tragedy will never succeed to capture the full complexity of reality!! Still, the only attempt in almost 50 years and the second of all time...

so D- for effort.
