Battleship Schleswig-Holstein

[dmahaffy]

This may seem like a strange request. I have a photo album of a young german sailor entitled " Meine Auslandsreise mit Schleswig-Holstein 1936/37". He also apparently graduated in Class F at marine school in Wesermünde in 1937/38. He also served in many battles in Narvik and that area in early 1940's and crew then was a Lieut Ritschel and a Fischer and a Wohnert. My father found this in a building in Wilhelmshaven area in 1945.
It is an interesting history and there is a very good photo of this young sailor but no name.
Are there any organizations anywhere that could help return this to his family ?

Hello to all ; something more..................

The Schleswig-Holstein - Danzig/Gdansk 1939.

The pretext for the visit, at the invitation of the Senate of the Free City, was honoring the memory of 15 sailors from the cruiser "Magdeburg" (blown up by his own crew after stepping on rocks in the Gulf of Finland), buried in Danzig/Gdansk in August 1914. The ship docked in the New Port, opposite the Westerplatte.
