– Background –

The Hamburg-Amerikanische Packetfahrt-Actien-Gesellschaft (H.A.P.A.G.), also known as Hamburg America Line or Hapag, was an important German shipping company founded in Hamburg in 1847. Over the course of its history, the company established an extensive network of liner services worldwide and benefited from the high migration from Europe to North America. During World War I, the effects of the war prevented the company from continuing its services. Most of the ships were either interned or laid up in secure German or neutral ports. During the war, the company used its buildings as military hospitals and received army orders for its workshops. However, the effects of the war and the seizure of ships in the neutral ports of the United States and other countries worsened the company's situation. Albert Ballin, the founder and long-time director of Hapag, saw his life's work collapse in 1918 and took his own life. After the reconstruction during the interwar period, Hapag lost its independence as large parts were acquired by the Reich during the 1930s. It participated in the Sea Service of East Prussia, which was supported by the Reich government to circumvent the Polish Corridor. The African and South American services were sold to the Deutsche Afrika Linien and Hamburg Süd in 1936, and the Jewish staff was dismissed. In the 1920s and 1930s, Hapag had already supported the local NSDAP in Hamburg. Finally, the management denied the man who had once made the company great: Albert Ballin. He was Jewish and had to be erased from the company's history according to the ideology of the Nazi regime. The ship that bore his name was renamed Hansa (II).
