Schlachtschiff Bismarck | Das wahre Gesicht eines Schiffes
 

Volume 1.2

Seaman (men A to L)

With volume 1.2 of our book series, we continue to tell the extensive story of seaman personnel. With more than 1,000 men, this made up more than half of the entire crew and fills three books of our series. The volume 1.2, published on May 27, 2020 for the 79th anniversary of the sinking of the Bismarck, alone has 400 pages and is therefore thicker than the first edition of its predecessor, Volume 1.1. In it we tell the personal stories of the sailors with the surnames starting with A to L. It contains the exciting stories of 134 crew members, such as that of the young Austrian Alois Bacher who was looking for the exoticism of seafaring or the experienced Leading Seaman Kurt Langerwisch from Brandenburg, who survived the sinking with good luck and later became a teacher and school director in the GDR.

As already known from the previous parts, the portraits are preceded by the corresponding section from the crew list. Around 435 images and technical drawings illustrate the book, which is available (in german language only) on our website for € 33.50.
