==Wreckage==
{{coor d|55.07|N|17.41|E|region:EU_type:landmark}} is the resting place of the ''Gustloff''. This is 30 km offshore, east of Łeba (17.33E) and west of Władysławowo (18.24E). It has been designated as a war memorial site (off-limits to salvage crews). On Polish navigation charts it is noted as "Obstacle No. 73".<ref>Irwin J. Kappes [[#References|References]]</ref>
In 2006, a bell recovered from the wreck, and subsequently used as decoration in a Polish fish restaurant, was loaned to the "Forced Paths" exhibition in Berlin.<ref>Mark Landler [http://www.iht.com/articles/2006/08/30/news/poland.php Poles riled by Berlin exhibition] originally published in The [[New York Times]], [[August 30]], 2006 republished in the [[International Herald Tribune]]</ref>
==Movie and Novel==
The film ''Nacht fiel über Gotenhafen'' [[1959]] presented the tragedy 43 years before Günter Grass did it.
