Ein einzelner Frachter terrorisierte drei Weltmächte – Die wahre Geschichte der Thor!

The disguised freighter that defeated three British warships and was never sunk! From a harmless merchant ship, the Kriegsmarine transformed one of the most dangerous hunters on the high seas. Beneath its disguised superstructure, the auxiliary cruiser Thor concealed heavy guns, torpedo tubes, and a collapsible shipboard aircraft, sinking or capturing twenty-two ships in two unprecedented campaigns. Three times it engaged British auxiliary cruisers in open battle and emerged victorious, never falling victim to an enemy shell. But its end came where no one expected it: deep in the safe harbor of a distant ally, destroyed by a single fatal spark. This is the true and gripping story of Ship Ten and its final hour in Yokohama. Music used in the video: Eyes of Glory by Aakash Gandhi and Duty Calls by Rod Kim.
