Links & Credits
Thank You for visiting the 
Wilhelm Gustloff Museum


      I would first like to give credits to Mr. Riedel for designing the logo for the museum and to the members of feldgrau.com for their efforts in translating several pieces in the collection including Hiltraut, hero, and lw3. A special thanks to all of those who helped with information in the u-boat training album and in all aspects of the site including Axel. Thanks to those in the u-boat forums for helping piece the story of the Gustloff album together. Also, to Real World Pictures for allowing me to use clips from their trailor for the opening introduction. Finally, thank you to all of my contacts in Germany and Austria for constantly being on the watch for new items to add to the exhibits including Ingrid from Berlin, Birgit in Gifhorn, Gaby in Morbach, Olaf in Hüxstraße, and D. Falk of Berlin.  


 The Wilhelm Gustloff on the Internet




     While there are hundreds of websites on the internet that have information about the Wilhelm Gustloff, I have decided to list only the websites that are really worth the visit. This list does not include the links which are already included on the previous pages. If you think there is a site that should be added to this list, please use the contact information on the introduction page.  
                                                                      Vielen Dank!
