Abstract:
- Prisoners of the evacuated Neuengamme concentration camp were brought on board the ships Cap Arcona and Thielbeck anchored in the Lübeck Bay near Neustadt on April 25-26, 1945. On May 3 the British air force attacked these "concentrations of enemy shipping." Only 500 people were rescued from the burning Cap Arcona, while nearly all 2,800 prisoners aboard the Thielbeck perished. [--Source (edited): The Encyclopedia of the Third Reich / Christian Zentner and Friedemann Bedürftig (New York : Da Capo Press, 1997), pp. 126, 952]. Document File EE1173 contains two alphabetically arranged lists retrieved by the staff of the Neuengamme Concentration Camp Memorial from a database: 1. "Auszug aus der Datenbank: Opfer der Schiffsbombardierungen vom 3.5.1945 " [="Results from the Database: Victims of the Ship Bombing of May 3, 1945"], listing of those who died on the "Cap Arcona" and "Thielbek" on May 5, 1945, and, 2. "Auszug aus der Datenbank: Nach dem 3.5.1945 Neustadt verstorbene Ausländer" [="Results from the Database: Foreigners who died in Neustadt after May 3, 1945"]. Entries in both lists may contain (where known or applicable): last name, first name, date of birth, place of birth, country of birth, prisoner number, date of death, occupation and place of death (often partial). Entries in the second list may also include last place of residence.
- These lists may also contain the names of SS and other German personnel who died along with their prisoners.
