We all know the tragic story of the wilhelm Gustloff, but did you know this ship was named after a Swiss Nazi ? Here is his story and much more !

Interesting link, thanks.

A couple of months ago I read Roger Moorhouse's 'Ship of Fate: The Story of the MV Wilhelm Gustloff' which has a small amount of background information on Wilhelm Gustloff himself. This writer maintains that Gustloff created fourteen Nazi Party branches amongst the German speakers in Switzerland before his assassination.

Also the Gunter Grass novel 'Crab Walk' has material about Gustlof written in as part of the extensive 'back story' to the fictionalised account of a German family in ideological disarray post-unification. But useful to find so much concentrated on Gustlof on to one site.
