Скачать или смотреть The Day a German U-Boat Saved Its Enemies

In September 1942, in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, a German U-boat commander made a decision that defied every order he had ever received. When Kapitänleutnant Werner Hartenstein of U-156 torpedoed the British ship RMS Laconia, he believed he was following the rules of war. But when he surfaced and saw hundreds of survivors struggling in the dark waters—including British civilians, Polish soldiers, and nearly two thousand Italian prisoners of war—he made a choice that changed history. Instead of fleeing, Hartenstein risked his life, his crew, and his mission to save the very people he was supposed to kill. This is the true story of the Laconia Incident, one of the most extraordinary and forgotten acts of mercy during World War II. A story of compassion amid chaos, of humanity surviving where it shouldn’t, and of how one man’s impossible decision at sea challenged the meaning of good and evil in the darkest chapter of human history.
