Just found an old film about Hamburg, filmed in 1938. Quite interesting to see. One of the ships shown in the first half is the MV Wilhelm Gustloff, a German cruise liner which was sunk on 30 January 1945 by a Soviet submarine in the Baltic Sea while evacuating German civilians, officials and military personnel from Gotenhafen, occupied Poland, as the Red Army advanced. By one estimate 9,400 people died, which would make it the largest loss of life in a single ship sinking in history Although much (all?) of the port area was destroyed during the Allied air raids, it again looks pretty much like then.
