Director Herbert Selpin was arrested by the Gestapo during this film's production. He was found hanged in his cell the following day.
Joseph Goebbels approved a budget of 4 million Reichsmarks--equivalent to $180 million in 2012 dollars. That is only $20 million shy of Titanic (1997)'s budget.
After the film was confiscated by the Allies in 1945, footage from the sinking scenes would be recycled into numerous films and television shows whenever a low budget production required to show scenes of a massive shipwreck.
Although most propaganda movies are banned in Germany, sometimes this movie is broadcast on TV, albeit with the strongest propaganda scenes deleted.
Nighttime location shoots, with massive amounts of studio lighting, made the production a likely target for allied bombing raids.

Why? 1st Officer Petersen: I'm not authorized to give passangers audditional information. Sir Bruce Ismay: [comes behind the curtain] One moment.

"Sir Bruce Ismay: The White Star Line has no need of officiers who sow only unrest among the passangers. 1st Officer Petersen: And I have no need to serve on a ship that run not by sailors but by stock speculators. Sir Bruce Ismay: I forbid you to use that tone. Go in your stateroom. I'm relieving you of your duty. 1st Officer Petersen: On board this ship you can neither relieve me of duty nor give me orders. To me you are nothing more than a passanger. [leaves]"
