Beautiful trams in Gdańsk have equally “beautiful” patrons from the NSDAP. Internet users are outraged.
“UNBELIEVABLE! I FOUND ADOLF BUTENANDT IN NSDAP RECORDS! Only a single page has survived, but it’s there! Butenandt was a biochemist and Nobel laureate. He used to be the patron of a tram in Gdańsk, but that patronage was removed once it became known he had been in the NSDAP,”
wrote e-Janusz Ch.
“That’s even better. Butenandt was a patron of the train; now the patronage belongs to Willi Drost. He is not only currently the patron of tram Pesa 1055 in Gdańsk, but he even has a monument in front of the National Museum!!! As for the much-admired in Danzig… Gdańsk, Günter Grass, who volunteered for the Waffen-SS, I won’t even mention him!”
wrote blogger, commentator, and enthusiast of historical press, e-Janusz Ch.
“And a third from the NSDAP associated with a tram (since Grass was in the Waffen-SS) – Erich Volmar, a collaborator (?) of Drost… He has tram Pesa 1052,”
the author added.
“Another figure from Danzig with an NSDAP membership card, whose memory has been honored with a monument. Residents also have the “privilege” of riding daily on a tram patronized by Willi Drost!”
concluded Krzysztof Puternicki from TV Republika.
