Volume 1.1
Ship’s Command, Seamen (officers and non-commissioned officers)
First published in 2016, this 416-page book focuses on ship command and the Officers and Petty Officers of the Seaman. We tell the stories of 77 crew members, such as Petty Officer Josef Würzinger, who married shortly before setting sail and died after only 45 days of marriage, or Petty Officer, second class Gerhard Oesper, who joined the navy to see the world and find fulfillment in service. Besides the exciting stories of the crewmembers we present their workplace which espacially includes the ship's artillery, anti aircraft guns and fire directory in an large chapter, presented in detail with text and images. You can preview the book below and read some of the stories on the Crew page.
Extended new edition now available!
In April 2026, we reissued the volume for the second time (following an initial reissue in November 2019). The book has since grown to 532 pages and includes six additional portraits. Among the new stories is that of Lieutenant Karl Knappe, who grew up in Spain, joined the Kriegsmarine as an officer candidate, fought during the Spanish Civil War. He survived the sinking of the cruiser Blücher during the invasion of Norway before serving on the Bismarck; the story of Chief Petty Officer Herbert Heiser from Hamburg, who served in the Navy from 1932; and Petty Officer second class Hermann Dürkop from Peine and his fascinating diary of his training voyage on the sail training ship Gorch Fock. Furthermore, we spoke with the son of First Officer Hans Oels and, in addition to new information, were granted permission to include numerous photographs of him and the Bismarck from his private album. Also new is the much more comprehensive story of Sub-Lieutenant Siegfried Dölker. In addition, numerous additions and corrections enrich the new edition and thus reflect the current state of research.
