  TGOL - Adriatic
Adriatic (I) n 1871, the Oceanic Steam Navigation Company — or the White Star Line — had started business with their first steamer on the oceans.
The Adriatic was a fine sight, of the conventional style, rather similar to the Oceanic-class.
There were many reasons to celebrate the Adriatic’s maiden voyage, but the most prestigious thing happened a month later when she reached New York and had taken the Blue Riband from the Cunard Line’s paddle steamer Scotia, who had held the prize in her grasp since 1866 when she received it.

 Avalanche Press
Many SS men avoided the army through the loophole that kept police out of the draft pool, and using SS units for occupation and security duties helped Himmler build his political and economic empire.
While some SS units saw front-line combat from the start of Operation Barbarossa, most of those sent into the Soviet Union after 22 June 1941 were intended as security troops.
While it did participate in the highly successful “Operation Black” in MOntenegro in May 1943, other Axis formations did most of the fighting while the SS men concentrated on their specialty, “punitive expeditions.” Entire villages were exterminated, the buildings burned to the ground, with mass rapes the order of the day as well.

 Kurt Gerstein, conscience-stricken SS officer
One of the most horrifying testimonies from the horrors of the Holocaust was left by a conscience-stricken SS officer, Kurt Gerstein, who visited the deathcamps Belzec and Treblinka in August 1942 and witnessed the mass gassing of Jewish men, women and children.
In 1940 he applied to the SS in order to infiltrate the Third Reich and gather information about the Nazis and their dark secrets, after being told by the Bishop of Stuttgart that mentally ill patients were being killed at the institutions Hadamar and Grafeneck.
Men, women, children filed past in ghastly parade as a burly SS man promised in a loud, priestlike voice that nothing terrible was going to happen to them.

Himmler, and the head of the SS economic section, Oswald Pohl, were well aware that the Slovenian SS general had made off with money belonging to the SS, and the U.S. National Archives has an extensive file of correspondence between the trio, a file that also contains lists of stolen valuables.
The other two seekers were a German, once an officer in the SS and a former aide to Globocnik, and a Ukrainian SS man who had been involved with the original plantings, but had no specific memory of what he helped bury, and more important, where.
The weather was clear and warm and the case, marked ‘SS Eigentum” (or SS property) was sufficiently intact to permit it to be lowered by nylon rope to the beach below.

 os13d in fm06
AB: The Adriatic Sea is a narrow asymmetric basin where the main sediment sources (the Po delta and other smaller Apenninic rivers) are located hundreds of km north of the deepest part of the basin, and several morphological highs of tectonic origin act as barriers or sills to sediment transport.
On the Adriatic shelf, the late Holocene-modern highstand deposition is controlled by advection (southward dispersal) of fine sediment supplied by the northern rivers.
In the Adriatic, this higher frequency cyclicity is recorded by variable geometry of progradational units (reflecting changes in supply-dispersal dynamics), rather than by smaller-scale sequences or parasequesences within the 100 kyr units.
