A Memorial To The Wilhelm Gustloff

www.feldgrau.com/wilhelmgustloff.html

My partner, Inge, was one of only approximately 800 survivors of the last voyage of the "Wilhelm Gustloff". Originally a cruise ship, the Gustloff was carrying thousands of refugees when she was sunk at the end of the second world war, killing an estimated 9,000 or more people. This is six times as many lives as were lost on the "Titanic", making it the biggest ever shipping disaster in terms of loss of lives.
