The SS Deutschland of 1923, sometimes seen as Deutschland IV to distinguish from others of the name, was a HAPAG ocean liner sunk in a British air attack in 1945, with great loss of life.
One of a group of four that began with the Albert Ballin, Deutschland was launched on 28 April 1923.
In April 1945 she was converted to a hospital ship and an attempt made to paint the vessel white, but there was only sufficient paint available to paint her funnels white and paint a Red Cross on one side of one of her funnels.

 BallinStadt Hamburg
Albert Ballin (1857-1918), the youngest son of a Jewish businessman, took over his father’s travel agency for emigrants at the tender age of 17.
The fact that Hamburg ultimately became Germany’s leading emigration port is in no small measure due to Albert Ballin’s concerted expansion of the HAPAG network of travel agents targeting emigrants in Eastern and South-eastern Europe.
In April 1934, the Germania Regiment of the SS moved into two thirds of the “Overseas Hostel.” For seven long months SS troops and emigrants fleeing that very regime were forced to live side by side – an intolerable situation.

 The Avalon Project : Nuremberg Trial Proceedings Volume 18
Funk also knew that the concentration camps were under the direction of the SS and thought that the valuables which were to be given to the Reichsbank by the SS for safekeeping belonged very probably to that category of valuables which the entire population was obliged to deliver.
Finally, as has been ascertained in the course of this Trial, the SS was constantly just as much engaged in the fighting in the East as the Armed Forces, and like the latter the SS had also collected so-called booty in the abandoned and destroyed towns of the East and delivered it to the Reich.
However, in any case, the demand of the SS for secrecy evidently did not strike Vice President Puhl as unusual any more than it did the witness Thoms who had nothing at all to do with the matter but who confirmed the fact that this secrecy was nothing unusual.
