Robert Watson discusses "The Nazi Titanic" at virtual book club event

Author Robert Watson talks with The Philadelphia Citizen co-founder Larry Platt at a virtual book club event spotlighting Watson's latest book, The Nazi Titanic: The Incredible Untold Story of a Doomed Ship in World War II.
With the book, Watson has done what Platt says all journalists dream of doing: unearthed a fascinating true story previously unknown to the masses.
That something is the tragic fate of the German ocean liner SS Cap Arcona which, in the final days of the Third Reich, was packed with thousands of concentration camp survivors and mistakenly bombed by the British Royal Air Force.

This was awful. This guy has no business lecturing people on the Cap Arcona or the 1943 Titanic movie. Virtually everything he said about these two topics was wrong. Cap Arcona’s design had NOTHING in common with the Titanic other than the two of them being ships that floated on water and “A Night to Remember” didn’t use any of the sinking effects from the 1943 film as stock footage. The only footage they recycled were two shots of the model sailing at daytime, a few stock shots of the passengers relaxing on deck (it was probably stock footage of the SS Bremen to begin with), and two shots of a flooding walkway during the second half of the film. This “lecturer” literally just took a glance at Wikipedia and then made everything up as he went along.
