The fateful tale of the Laconia, and a brand-new show from Walter Presents | Passport Picks

This is the true story of the 1942 sinking of the liner Laconia by a German U-boat through the eyes of six survivors. This epic two-part drama tells the story of Hilda Smith, a German national fleeing Nazi Germany, Thomas Mortimer, an officer aboard The Laconia, and U-boat Captain Werner Hartenstein, alongside the actions of the Germans, the British, and the Americans.
