An interesting account of a long-forgotten incident that might have drawn the United States into declaring war over a year sooner. These Canadian women provide revealing information on the conditions within Germany and especially Berlin in the middle of World War 2. In a curious twist of fate the German captain of the "Atlantis" had Jewish heritage and a Scottish terrier dog; one of the Canadian women was Jewish and had to conceal her background while interned; and another female passenger on the "Zamzam", of suspicious British-cum-American citizenship, was accompanied by her German dachshund dog. This book proves that the truth is stranger than fiction!
