Following the explosion at La Rochelle, the Mayor is ordered to make some harsh decisions under the watchful eye of Gluck and Forster and a dismayed Duval. With innocent lives on the line, everyone is looking for a chance to change the outcome.
As both Forster and Carla make their feelings for Simone clear, both romantically and professionally, Simone is torn between two sides. However, still reeling from Natalie’s injuries at the hands of Captain Schulz and his men, she must think with her head and not her heart.
Tensions are at a breaking point on U-612 following the disastrous confrontation with the enemy. Camaraderie has vanished and the harsh reality of warfare has set in. Matthias faces the reality of having lost an arm, while Max is no longer welcome in the torpedo room and Hoffmann confronts Tennstedt about his role within the ship. With these broken relationships jeopardizing their mission and Greenwood’s exchange on the horizon, can they survive any more shocks?
