Von Weizsackerās Diary is about the last days of World War II, when an
American bomber sinks a German
submarine in the West Indies. The crew
manages to board life rafts but a squall
approaches and the
weather turns deadly. Weeks later, off the
Florida coast, a fishing boat recovers a life raft with two dead men aboard. One of the men is the submarine's captain, Oberleutnant von Weizsacker. The fishing boat captain finds a diary in a waterproof pouch sewn into von Weizsacker's jacket. He scans a few pages but is unable to read German. The captain tosses the diary and other personal effects into a shoe box.

Twenty-eight years later, a young boy buys the diary at a Florida flea market. Entries, made in the last days of the war, reveal that von Weizsacker buried a metal box on an island in the French West Indies and the plot continues....
