SS Bremen: Germany’s Fugitive Ocean Liner

After the devastation of World War One, Germany’s SS Bremen (1928) and SS Europa (1928) reignited Europe’s stalled race to build the greatest transatlantic ocean liner. The two ships were ultra-modern and fast, both capturing the Blue Riband for Germany. But as the Nazi party rose to power, the Bremen’s popularity waned and she would be forced to make a covert dash for Germany at the outset of World War Two only the be destroyed by fire a few months later.
