The Four Chaplains
 

The Four Chaplains
In 1943, four young Army chaplains joined 900 raw recruits who were headed for battle in Nazi-occupied Europe on the U.S.A.T. Dorchester. During the voyage, a torpedo from a German submarine ripped through the hull of the ship which began to descend rapidly into the freezing waters of the North Atlantic. In the frantic scramble for lifeboats, four chaplains on board-a Catholic priest, a Jewish rabbi, and two Protestant ministers-directed many soldiers to safety. When the life vest supply ran out, they selflessly removed their own and gave them to the soldiers. Stirring story of faith and courage.
