here is my STRENGTH THROUGH JOY flag just acquired and came back with a CANADIAN VET AND OFF A VESSEL NAME UNKNOWN
I rreally wanted to show your flag waving from a boat, but, I cant! I tried, sorry .. Instead, I can show you your flag on a menu, used on the Wilhelm Gustloff. The ship is named after the killed
National Socialist party leader in Switserland. The killer was a student who rebelled against the very loud antisemitic views and works of Gustloff. The ship was built in 1936, was the first KdF ship, and, put to water in 1937. You can see a shot from the Stappellauf in shot 4. The ship, was as unlucky as the person it was named after. You can read all about this massive ship
here or
here and much much more. Shots 1 - 4, the menu, with your flag on it, and some fotographs of the ship. The menu is kinda special, it was for november 9, and, it mentions the memorial parade for the fallen of 1923! There were many more ships, KdF made a whole fleet. The Robert Ley, named after the leader of DAF and founder of KdF, was built in 1938, started work in 1939. Shot 5 shows Robert Ley, and that ship. Anyhow, if I ever find a shot waving your flag Paul Ill post it yes?
Bye,
KR
