Ludolf Petersen served on the Hamburg-America freighter "Kiel",which broke the British blockade in 1939.
He went on to serve as a prize officer on the "Lutzow" and "Admiral Scheer".
He then served as a prize officer on the Hilfskreuzer "Pinguin",and made it back to Bordeaux where he bacame the 1st officer on the "Stier".
Hence his awards.
I have a bunch of documents and photographs of crewmen from the "Stier".
Cheers,Martin.
