Freighters Under Fire

194226 minFilm: Documentaire

Manned by veterans and inexperienced youths, hundreds of freighters braved the dangers of the sea to keep open the life-lines of the Allies. The worst enemies were the U-boats, whose crews, well knowing the value of the cargoes, hunted them with relentless tenacity. This World War II film was a tribute to the men of the merchant navy.
