SOS - Fate of German Ships

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

SOS - Fates of German Ships is a West German booklet series that was published in 200 editions by Arthur Moewig Verlag in Munich from 1953 to 1960 . It was reissued from 1975 to 1981 by Pabel-Verlag under the title SOS - Schiffsschicksale auf den Meer der Welt and from 1995 it was presented again under the title Der Landser : SOS - Schiffsschicksale auf den Meer der Welt . The cover pictures and interior illustrations of the first edition are all by the marine painter Walter Zeeden . Parallel to the series of SOS - Fate of German Ships , the SOS special volumes were published from 1957 to 1960 , of which there were 30 issues. Except for the first 3 SOS special volumes , whose cover pictures were created by Karl Stephan, Lochham / Graefelfing, the remaining 27 pictures were again made by Walter Zeeden. In addition, the publication series Anker-Hefte was published by the same publisher from 1954 to 1960 . Seafaring all over the world in 95 issues, in which analogous events mostly from Anglo-American seafaring history were thematized.

Arthur Moewig-Verlag concluded the popular SOS and ANKER booklet series with SOS booklet number 200 and number 30 in the SOS special volumes .

In 2019 it was discovered by chance based on some original paintings by Walter Zeeden that the cover pictures for the SOS issues numbers 201 and 202 had already been ordered and produced by him. Walter Zeeden delivered both pictures to Arthur Moewig-Verlag on July 14, 1960 :

  • Planned issue 201 Bark Titania - Cover picture: Titania in a hurricane
  • Planned booklet 202 Torpedo boat Seeadler - cover picture: Seeadler in battle with British speedboats and under fire from the enemy. Dover coastal batteries in the Channel

For the SOS special volumes , Walter Zeeden provided the cover picture for the announced SOS special volume number 31 Tragedy on the North Cape - sinking of the battleship Scharnhorst . So marked by him on the original. Due to the discontinuation of the SOS series, this issue, already written by Fritz-Otto Busch, appeared as number 37 in the soldiers' stories series as a special volume . About the soldiers' stories special volume 39 by Wilhelm Wolfslast with the title: Until self-destruction. The Japanese submarines in World War II and a cover picture by Walter Zeeden are currently not known.
