Perhaps you are thinking of Alfred Hitchcock's Lifeboat
Th Nazi officer was hiding a compass.
REVIEW:
"A Merchant Marine supply ship is torpedoed and sunk by a U-boat in the mid-Atlantic. 8 survivors - including an injured seaman (William Bendix), a fast-talking war correspondant (the excellently-named Tallulah Bankhead), a nurse (Mary Anderson) and a scrappy British navigator (Hume Cronyn) - band together on a lifeboat to wait for rescue. They are soon joined by the commander of the German U-Boat (Walter Slezak), whose vessel has also just been sank.
What to do with their enemy captive? The castaways are split on how to deal with him. Some want to use his considerable seafaring abilities and knowledge of the local waters to their benefit, and then turn him in to the proper military authorities upon their return to civilization. The others want to, well, deal out their own justice."
Another subject about survivors:
There was a study done and many survivors should have lived much longer. It seems that many just lost the will to live and died prematurely . An unsupported theory - did the weaker die early to save the remaining supplies for the stronger - possibly some sort of species survival mechanism.
