of everybody had now been met. I recently attended a lecture by a professor of theology, who stated that Jesus never uttered those words on the cross. What he was ultimately saying was that the completion and existence of the lifeboat was being scientifically/theologically ignored. Those in group P4 will receive the wages of living a lie: “If anyone’s name was not found written in the book of life, he was thrown into the lake of fire” (Rev 20:15). The chapter about the book of life has been especially written for people in groups P2 and P3. Please read this section as a special personal message to you. The Gustloff and the Titanic: further details The ship Wilhelm Gustloff: The keel of “Ship No 511” was laid in August 1935, and it was launched on the fifth of May 1937 in the shipyard of Blohm & Voss in Hamburg, in the presence of Adolf Hitler. Its length was 208.5 m, its beam measured 23.5 m, and its gross registered tonnage was 25,484. It was powered by four eight-cylinder two-stroke diesel engines driving twin propellers. During the 17 months from its maiden voyage until August 1939, it undertook 44 voyages carrying a total of 65,000 tourists. After the catastrophe of 30 January 19<strong>45</strong> only one fifth of the passengers (1,252 persons) were rescued; in all, 9,343 people perished. The man Wilhelm Gustloff: He was born on the 30th of January 1895 in Schwerin near Hamburg, exactly 50 years, to the day, before the ship sank. The Nazis seized power in Germany on the 30th of January 1933, and exactly 12 years later the ship came to grief. Gustloff joined the Nazi Party in 1929, and he became the national group leader for Switzerland in 1932. On the 4th of February 1936 he was fatally wounded in his house in Davos, shot by a 27 year old Jewish medical student. This student, David Frankfurter, arrived in Davos on the 30th of January 1936. Interestingly, the same date turns up four times. On February the 12th Wilhelm Gustloff was buried with great fanfare as ordered by Göbbels, the Minister of Propaganda. There were 35,000 mourners in Schwerin, including many VIPs of the Third Reich. In his funeral oration Hitler said that Gustloff’s death would be an eternal legacy for future generations of the German nation. He had thus decided to name this, the first working ship commissioned by the Nazi Party, the Wilhelm Gustloff. This ship is a reminder of one of the darkest chapters of German history. The sinking of the Gustloff: Hit by three torpedoes, the Wilhelm Gustloff sinks while listing badly to port. Those of the 6,600 passengers and crew who are still alive now begin a life-and-death struggle for survival. (Drawing by H. Rathe, based on information given by eye witnesses and by Heinz Schön, one of the survivors; reproduced from his book Ostsee ’<strong>45</strong> – Menschen, Schiffe, Schicksale [The Baltic Sea 19<strong>45</strong> – People, ships, and their fates], Motorbuch Verlag, Stuttgart, p 220). 126 The shipTitanic: Some figures: 46,328 gross registered tonnage, displacement at a waterline of 10.51m: 66,000 tonnes, overall length: 268.68 metres, width: 28.19 metres, height: 18.44 metres from the water surface to the boat deck, or 53.33 metres from the keel to the tip of the four massive smokestacks, drive: 3 propellers; the middle one was driven by a turbine. This propeller weighed 22 tonnes, with a diameter of 5 metres. The outer two propellers were driven by piston
engines and at 7.16 metres diameter, weighed 38 tonnes. The ship’s engines produced a staggering 36,800 kW of power. It could store 6,000 tonnes of coal. Its daily consumption of coal was between 620 and 640 tonnes, that is 7.3 kg each second! At full steam the Titanic could travel at 24-25 knots (44.5 to 46.3 km per hour). 127
