I managed to find my Lucky Seabean...something I had picked up when I was in Florida back in 1924, while serving on the Hambug. It was rather odd though how I managed to be reconnected with my Seabean...though.

Gerhardt (my past life's first name) was born back in 1917 - was 16 in 1933. The Weimar Republic time as a hard time for my family, I can remember going hungry. I see I had a few playmates as a child who were from the edge of the village; I'm not sure what that would have meant but I have the feeling that they were killed in the camps during the war   My father had served in WWI but he never liked the Nazi regime; I enlisted, partly to protect my family. They never saw me again, I don't know what happened, probably they were killed by an Allied bomber (or at least that's what I was told). |

Gosh - another interesting thread that somehow I've managed to miss!!LOL Hi Kapitan Prien, I've always wanted to say 'hi' to you, being another soul that served at sea during the war, but like most here I was a 'baby' in terms of remembering life prior to the 40's! I only know that I love art deco and all things from the 1930's, I have very vivid recollections of my home at that time, those old taps on a deep bath and the style of decor, it just gives me a strange sad feeling of memory. I'd like to know so much more about Emil's early life, I don't think it was very eventful and as I was born in 1924 like Miss Bothman, there's probably not much that I'd recall from those earlier years of the Weimar republic.
