Wilhelm Gustloff Ticket Booklet - Norwegian Cruise & Reichsjugendführung (Reich Youth Leadership) Cruise.
Voyage #39: June 10th - June 16th, 1939


     The Reichsjugendführung was one of the few 'alternative' programs that the Wilhelm Gustloff participated in during her career. Another Wilhelm Gustloff photo album has this Reich Youth Leadership cruise dated to June 15th and 16th, 1939 from WilhelmGustloff.com. This is the sole site where information of this event comes from, yet with this ticket booklet and the June 16th menu with voyage schedule, nothing is referenced to a specific cruise for the RYL. Was it an unplanned on board event at the last minute?, or something not worthy to mention? The other album also (apparently on the same page) places her in Swinemünde, or Świnoujście, Poland on the 15th of June, which is false, as she was in Hamburg that day. It could have been a stop on the return voyage and is being misunderstood.
