  • "On the 12th September 1942 the Laconia - a cruise ship turned troop ship - was torpedoed and sunk by German submarine U-156 commanded by Werner Hartenstein. She carried a motley crew of women, children, wounded soldiers and Italian Prisoners of War. Having sunk the ship, Hartenstein should have left them to their uncertain fate in the water but instead he made the incredible decision to save as many lives as he could. A true story of unexpected gallantry and humanity in the fog of war."
  • "In September 1942 at the height of the battle for the Atlantic, a German U-boat torpedoed the RMS Laconia, sinking the British ship without knowing that it carried more than 2,000 passengers, many of them civilians. What followed is a harrowing true story of heroism, heartbreak, and unexpected humanity in the midst of the bloodiest conflict in history."
  • "Het Britse voormalige cruiseschip The Laconia, dat vol zit met vrouwen, kinderen, Italiaanse krijgsgevangenen, wordt in september 1942 gebombardeerd door een Duitse onderzeeër. Als het schip zinkt worden de overlevenden gered door de Duitse onderzeebootkapitein."
