Although a true story about the wreck and the explosion, no evidence was found of German spies in the city and certainly no German spies tried to scuttle the ship to save thousands of lives. To give credit to the German army for their actions in WWI in this movie is a disgrace to Canadians and Norwegians and all civilized peoples everywhere. You might as well say that the Ottoman Empire worked closely with the Germans to try and save lives. Could have been a great movie about history and the loss of innocent life, but it's message is that German spies attempted to save the city. Probably written and directed by people with a family history tied to Germany and wanting everyone to think that they were not that bad. After all, they only attacked other countries w/o provocation with the assistance of the Ottoman Empire in 1917. It's not like 25 years later they got really bad or anything.
