Synopsis:

Under Ten Flags is an Italian WWII war film from 1960, with an international cast, financed by Paramount. It is based on the true story about the German navy raider Atlantis, which, disguised as a merchant ship, sank or captured 22 ships from May 1940 to November 1941, when she herself was sunk by the British cruiser HMS Devonshire. Her captain, Bernhard Rogge, was one of the few German officers of flag rank who weren't arrested by the Allies after the war. This was due to the very proper way he had exercised his command of Atlantis. After the war he advanced to rear admiral in the West German Navy and became a high-ranking NATO commander.

Under Ten Flags is a fact-based British maritime epic set during World War II. Allied ships are being victimized by a German surface raider, which sails under friendly flags until moving in for the kill.

This World War II story is told from the German point of view spotlighting the commander of a Nazi raider, disguised as a merchant ship and a British admiral.
