Das Boot — Season 4
Summer 1943 finds Klaus Hoffmann basking in the glow of hero status in Berlin – a spotlight that also casts a long shadow. Though publicly lauded, his life is far from simple; his sister Hannie, trapped in a marriage of convenience, navigates a new path.

The realization dawned on Klaus Hoffmann: the Allied invasion had been progressing for some time. A grim purpose awaited him in Naples – a death sentence carried out by a shadowy figure.
