     Great photo album from one of the Gustloff's first voyages with some wonderful photography by the original owner. The first postcard of the ship is postmarked from her England polling station voyage, April 10th, 1938, so this person was probably on that trip as well. The newspaper article in the front cover dates to January 30th, 1960 about the sinking.
     Additional photos include German destroyers (The first one being the Z34 class destroyer Richard Beitzen (hull #11, penant #4), the Flugboot Dornier DO X in Berlin - a quite famous airplane which ended up being destroyed in 1943. For more information: Click Here. Also included is the family's summer house in Schwerin and winter in Locknitz. (Not all of the additional family photos are shown.)

     Presented here is the photo album I obtained  from a gentleman in Germany whose great aunt & uncle sailed onboard the Wilhelm Gustloff for her maiden voyage (viewable under said page) and her 35th voyage from May 6th to May 12th, 1939. Their names were Josef and Sofia Rosenbaum hailing from Köln-Dellbrück.
     Along with this album and the previously mentioned maiden voyage set, the materials under the Tickets and Travel 2 page from this same voyage also come from the same collection.
