Hubert Behme nephew, only five and a half years old then, met Hubert only when he was home on leave. The family recalls that Hubert was taken to the Bismarck by a fast boat after Bismarck she had already departed for the mission. The nephew of Walter Lüdemann, just like his uncle, later joined the navy; Walter Lüdemann was presumably part of the prize crew. His nephew still remembers how, as a child, he sat in his uncle's lap as his uncle sang for him the "Englandlied": "Denn wir fahren gegen Engeland " [Because we are cruising against England]. Further Walter's best friend at work carried Walter's picture in his wallet till his dying day. Heinrich Maas's daughter never knew her father, but nevertheless feels a strong attachment for him. Wilhelm Michael's sister says that their mother died still believing her son would one day return home. The daughter of Bruno Robakowski (a survivor) attempts to reconstruct the life of her father who was never really able to deal with the terror of the sinking. The niece and the sister of Heinrich Schalk now live in Glasgow; Heinrich went to sea at fourteen years of age. Stories such as these will fill the book, stories that repeat themselves over and over again, in Germany and in other countries. The Bismarck-history told by those who served on her.
