Schlachtschiff Bismarck | Das wahre Gesicht eines Schiffes
 

Volume 1.3

Seaman (men M to Z)

Volume 1.3 ends our small series in the book series on the history of seaman personnel. The new volume comprises 320 pages and tells the stories of 85 crew members of seaman career I with the surnames M to Z. For example the story of the young East Prussian Ernst Mareck who learned the trade of gardener before he volunteered for the Navy and met a girl during his training in Danzig. Or that of Heinz Ziegler from Lübeck, who lost both his parents as a child and grew up with his sister at his grandparents. While his sister emigrated to relatives in America before the impending war, he joined the Navy.

As already known from the previous parts, the portraits are preceded by the corresponding section from the crew list. Around 420 images and technical drawings illustrate the book, which is available (in german language only) on our website for € 33.50.
