The Sinking of the Laconia (I think that is how spelt

[bitsyandbetty]

I thought it was excellent and really thought provoking. Did anyone else see it. Good practice for German and Italian speakers to!

I really enjoyed it - thought it was a fascinating story (and the U-Boat captain was gorgeous)

It was fantastic, but did you also see the documentary this evening about the real story? Incredibly sad and moving. The drama seemed from the facts in the documentary to have been very accurate. Those poor Italians in the hold who had no chance of survival. The U-boat involved was sunk a few months later with no survivors.

It has answered a 70 year old family mystery for us. Very heartbreaking.

Good grief Simbacatlives, really?

I was about to start a thread on this, am watching it on iplayer and really enjoying it - sort of -

Really enjoyed it - loved languages (good practice for teenage daughter learning German. Plus gorgeaue Uboad captain and British officer).

It was an amazing piece of writing and acting, I missed the survivors story so wil catch it on iplayer.

It was very good we really enjoyed it. The survivors story was incredibly moving.

i only saw the second part, might have to buy it or something. it was really good. and yes, wasnt the captain gorgeous
