Hi,

Nice programme!
I have seven or eight of these from various KdF steamers, but have never come across one from the Gustloff.
Good artwork, (not seen this particular training ship before) and due to the fate of the Gustloff, this may command a higher price on the market - although these should not be rarer than similar items from other ships.

Best wishes,

John.

Here is a postcard of the liner K.d.F Schiff "Wilhelm Gustloff" This was in a Wilhelm Gustloff photo album I have that has the liner returning from Spain with Legion Condor troops and later the Legion Condor in Italy. The Gustloff was sunk by a Soviet submarine on 30 January 1945 with approximately 9,400 Civilians and Military personnel aboard.

The sailing ship shown on the program/menu is the Gorch Fock which was a Kriegsmarine training ship that was scuttled on 1 May 1945

I had one of these about ten years ago but sold it. What a contrast!! Strength through Joy in 1939 to the horrible fate of that ship in 1945.

Correct, These are not rarer, and not more collectible than the other ones. Had had some in the past, hard to sell

Here's another one of the Gustloff menus, with an actual KDF ship pictured on the cover. They had several cover designs for these menus, and this design is one of my favorites

Hi,

Lovely menu, with striking artwork
Does anyone know of a book or website which gives details of the history, names and voyages of the KdF ships?
Would love to have more information on this quite obscure subject!

Best wishes,

John.
