	Gdynia - Wikipedia
		Gdynia (tysk Gdingen eller Gotenhafen) er en havneby i Pommern, der idag ligger i Polen, i voivodskabet Pomorskie.
		Mellem 1772 og 1919 tilhørte byen Preussen og Tyskland, men efter første verdenskrig blev den annekteret af Polen og udviklet til den vigtigste havn i den polske korridor, delvis for at kompensere for at polakkerne ikke havde fået gennemslag for sit krav på den nærliggende storby Danzig, der havde næsten udelukkende tysk befolkning.
		I 1939 blev byen reannekteret af Tyskland og givet navnet Gotenhafen, til trods for at det historiske tyske navn var Gdingen.

	Wilhelm Gustloff – sunk by Soviet Sub 30 January 1945
		Zahn told Petersen that speed is now the only protective factor the GUSTLOFF has, even though anti-aircraft guns had been installed in Gotenhafen during the last few days as the U-Boat Command considered air attacks by Soviet Russian planes as the greatest danger if the ship sticks to the mine swept routes rigidly.
		Furthermore, anti-aircraft guns had been installed in Gotenhafen just prior to her final voyage into destruction, intended to defend the GUSTLOFF against Soviet Russian airplanes, which was seen as the most likely occurrence on this trip.
		Gotenhafen and also Pillau were rather functional places, offering hardly anything what concerned entertainment, recreation or fun of any sort.
