It stars Dieter Eppler and Sabine Sesselmann and was directed by Harald Reinl.

Following these events, pastor Kille, a former schoolmate of Prien, approaches Prien in the need for help. Kille offers refuge to victims of Nazi oppression. Prien initially declines, stating he is a soldier and not involved in politics. The attempt by Killes sister Alwine, who is engaged to Priens first officer Thomas Birkeneck, also fails to convince Prien.With the ever increasing intensity of war Prien is plagued by his bad conscience, asking himself if his attitude is correct. A very dramatic incident occurs following the sinking of a freighter. U47 rescues two shipwrecked. These turn out to be German refugees who are trying to escape from Nazi Germany. The two chose to remain at sea over the prospect of returning to Germany. ........
