@scubaengineering Why would you edit the remains it's part of the tragedy? Could you do a seperate upload where the remains can be seen?

i would be so scared down there damn
-
@scubaengineering Hey man...where can i see the full video? can you send it to me? I heard the wreck is great the railing still has teak thats great.

there is a fantastic book written by Reiner Daehnhardt and Heinz Schön, a member of the crew who survived the Wilhelm Gustloff catastrophe, called "From Heaven to Hell: from the island of Madeira to the Baltic, the biggest ever naval disaster".

excellent video. quite something. myself id be interested in seeing the full uncut film of the human remains. are they visible on the seabed and in the ship? there seems to be some marine growth on parts of the vessel.
i think the uncut film will show the awful cost and stupidity of war and educate present generations. and that can only be a good thing. the world needs to know the full story of this, also the other ship sunk by the soviet sub S13 and more loss of life.

everybody knows about the titanic and how bad it was, but not about this ship and all the mothers and their children who died. people dont even know about the wilhelm gustloff here in germany, i've never even heard anything about it until i read it in wikipedia a few weeks ago. its pretty strange.

@godstargodstar The Bell is now in the museum in Gdansk.

yes babies are innocent!
Shots of human remains have been edited out as you correctly assumed. Passage ways are covered in human thigh bones, skulls, boots etc - it is difficult to comprehend the scale of this single sinking that resulted in 4 times as many deaths as the Japanese attack on pearl harbor, 6 times as many passengers lost as on Titanic.

btw I also heard that the entire area around the wreck is "covered with human remains, skulls, and bones."

Hi Alex,
I uploaded the complete video to Youtube in 5x 10minute parts, but was asked to remove it.
Yes, the entire area around the wreck is littered with human remains. The passage ways are a foot deep in bones, skulls, boots, equipment etc. The sinking must have been a disaster of epic proportions.
