The Royal Air Force sunk a ship full of holocaust victims by accident!

The Cap Arcona was a large German luxury ocean liner.It was used to transport passengers between Germany and South America until it was taken over by the German Navy during the Nazi era.

During war the ship used to evacuate Germans. However, while several prisoners from Nazi concentration camps were being transported, the ship was sunk by the Royal Air Force in 1945 and it killed over 5,000 people!


More people died in his incident than those in the Titanic! What’s even more tragic is that the ship was sunk three days after Hitler’s suicide and only one day before the unconditional surrender of the German troops!

And even though some prisoners were able to jump into the water, direct orders were given to the Royal Air Force to shot anyone who tried to escape!If you cried while watching the Titanic movie, I wonder how you would feel watching a movie of this horrible incident.
