Rohna Memories

The narrative centers on a tragic event during World War II when the British troop ship HMT Rohna was attacked by German bombers on November 26, 1943. Carrying over 2,000 U.S. servicemen, the ship was part of a convoy that initially withstood the assault. However, a final attack by a technologically advanced glide bomb led to devastating losses, resulting in the deaths of 1,015 servicemen. The harrowing rescue efforts that followed highlight the chaos and heroism amid the tragedy at sea.
