View of German Grand Admiral Karl Doenitz. Complete change of scene shows a torpedo being loaded on a German Neger torpedo-carrying craft for a demonstration at Flender-Werke in Lübeck, Germany,during World War 2. Designed by Richard Mohr (whose surname means blackamoor),this craft cannot submerge but runs low, awash in the water. It is seen moving that way in the water and firing its torpedo. Back at the base, the operator, wearing an iron cross, climbs out of the craft. (Note: Not surprisingly, this little torpedo-carrier was sometimes called a human torpedo.)

Exploits of the German Auxiliary Cruiser Thor in the Pacific Ocean during World War II

The German Auxiliary Cruiser "Thor" (Schiff 10) seeking Allied shipping targets of opportunity in the Pacific during World War 2. German Navy sailors relax on her deck. Some paint her motor launch. Several sailors in white trousers, dark jackets, and white side caps, hurry into formation where they are inspected by supervisor wearing a checkered necktie. Officers in Khaki look through binoculars as the Thors' Arado 196 float plane lands and taxis in, guided by sailor with signal flags. The pilot (possibly Flying Officer Meyer-Ahrens) is standing up in the cockpit. He reports to the bridge and exchanges salutes with Thor Captain, Kapitan-sur-Zee Günther Gumprich. Pilot discusses his flight observations with other officers. Smoke from a steaming ship seen on the horizon. An officer on the deck lights a cigar. Smoke and sound of Thor firing her 15cm deck guns. Silhouette of ocean liner SS Nankin, very low in the water. Next, life boats of the SS Nankin row toward Thor carrying passengers who climb aboard (this was on May 10, 1942). Next, the ship is seen moving in rough high seas. Smoke is seen from Thor's guns firing again, and another ship is stopped in the water. Based on profile of ship, it appears to be the Norwegian oil tanker Madrono (D/T Madrono), intercepted on July 4, 1942. Boarding party from Thor lowers away in motor launch tenders and boards the stopped ship. Sign on her says "No Smoking" in English (The Madrono was built in the UK). Armed German sailor from the Thor guards the merchant seamen on board. Glimpse of one of Thor's 15cm deck guns. Thor's sailors in German Kriegsmarine dress uniforms wave from deck, likely as ship is arriving at Japanese harbor. Japanese Naval officers board for a visit. Captain Günther Gumprich and executive officer socialize with Japanese officers. German and Japanese flags fly side-by-side. Officers and crew of German Cruiser Thor tour local sites in Japan. Two Thor sailors view Mt. Fuji.
