False Flags: The Lusitania's Sinking

About this episode

The episode explores the conspiracy theories surrounding the sinking of the Lusitania and questions whether it was an inside job.

In 1915, a German U-boat torpedoed the Lusitania, sinking it off the Irish coast, and killing over 1000 people. The attack devastated the American public, and justified America’s entry into World War I. But rumors of a top-secret British navy operation, the ship’s hidden second manifest, and a decades-long cover-up all led people to ask: Was the sinking an inside job?
