Title: Best Account in English
Product review: Of the two books in English, concerning the sinking of the Wilhelm Gustloff, this is the one to read.Meticulously researched in both Germany and the Soviet Union, by the three authors.Sources include survivor interviews, and surprisingly an interview with Grand Admiral Doenitz,who was in command of the seaborne evacuation from the eastern territories. Footnotes and index.Also includes a fascinating chapter on the Soviet submarine commander.Highly recommended! This is a history book.Also highly recommended, is the German TV movie "Die (the) Gustloff" (2008).Never shown or issued in America, it was shown in Australia, and issued on DVD, with English subtitles. Available in USA from online sellers. Google it.
