A rare pre-WWII Second World War menu for the Norddeutscher Lloyd ship ' Bremen '. The menu dated Wednesday 31st July 1935. Bi-lingual menu in German and English. Interestingly the menu is dated just a few days after a famous anti-Nazi demonstration had been held on board, and Bremen's Swastika flag was torn down and thrown into the Hudson River. Interesting piece of history. SS Bremen was a German-built ocean liner constructed for the Norddeutscher Lloyd line (NDL) to work the transatlantic sea route. Bremen was notable for her bulbous bow construction, high-speed engines, and low, streamlined profile. At the time of her construction, she and her sister ship Europa were the two most advanced high-speed steam turbine ocean liners of their day. The German pair sparked an international competition in the building of large, fast, luxurious ocean liners that were national symbols and points of prestige during the pre-war years of the 1930s. She held the Blue Riband, and was the fourth ship of NDL to carry the name Bremen.
