Albert Leo Schlageter and Gorch Fock

January 18th, 2009

While re-reading Edwin Hoyt’s _Raider 16_, I can across a reference of
two sailing vessels used by the German Navy as training ships during the
1930s (one was still in use in 1939). Can anyone on the list provide me
with information regarding the Albert Leo Schlageter and the Gorch Fock? I
would also like to know what happened to these two ships during World
War II? Did they survive, and if so, when and where were they scrapped?
Thanks in advance, Ed.
