Wilhelm Gustloff

Description

Norman Schiffer is tasked with delivering a highly confidential letter to his aunt in Norway about an inheritance and multi-million dollar jewelry. Meanwhile, his rich uncle – Baron Herman – is liquidated precisely because of that letter while Norman is on the ship. A contract killer named Erwin follows him to get confidential documents. Two sisters, Uma and Ursel, are among the 10,000 refugees on a board. On the ship, Uma and Norman begin a love affair, while the hired killer persistently tries to find him in order to liquidate him. Then three torpedoes come out of the Russian submarine and the Wilhelm Gustloff begins to sink. The hitman has only half an hour to get to the letter, but he and Norman die in horrible sinking…Many people will remember the sinking of the ship ”Wilhelm Gustloff” that took place in the Baltic Sea. Out of 10,000 passengers, 1,239 people survived. The true number of the dead has never been accurately determined. The ”Wilhelm Gustloff” maritime accident is considered the greatest maritime accident of all the time that took place.
