Calling all SMS Wolf (1913) auxiliary cruiser fans

Post by Rusty_S85 »

I got a buddy of mine that is trying to find some blueprints, profile and or deck plans of this Auxiliary cruiser. I did a search online but couldn't find much.

Wanted to throw some feelers out here if there are any plans for this ship out there?

Would love to add them to my collection of ship plans as well as to pass along to my buddy.

Not a simple question!

SMS Wolf was originally the 'DDG Hansa Wachtfels', a cargo ship of the 'Rappenfels' class of 7 ships, DDG standing for Deutsche Dampfschifffahrt Gesellschaft "Hansa" or German Steamshipping Company "Hansa".

There is a website with many photos of these ships: http://www.ddghansa-shipsphotos.de/wachtfels100.htm

The only plan I found coming very close is from the DDG Hansa Gutenfels, not a sister ship but one of the preceding classes, with almost the same particulars.
