    Kapit?n zur See & Kommodore Michelsen


    Recommended Posts

    Hi,

    Anyone know any details (or point me in the direction of) on the careers of Kapit?n zur See & Kommodore Michelsen and/or Korvettankapit?n Thierichens. I recently obtained photos of both these gentlemen, but todate I have not been able to locate any information on either.

    regards,

    Ian

    Post pix please. We are VERY visually oriented and such things encourage epic typing. :rolleyes:

    As a Vizeadmiral zS aD Andreas Michelsen (1869-1932) is completely covered in the Biblio Verlag admirals' biographies.

    Max Thierichens (1874-after 1930) had an interesting (indeed) war, escaping from China with the "Prinz Eitel Friedrich" and getting as far as Virginia before being interned for the rest of the war, March 1915. Retired as char. Kapit?n zS aD when discharged 29.12.19.

    Rick,

    Thank you for the speedy reply :-). I actually have the 'Biblio Verlag admirals' biographies', but didn't look in them as I understood Michelsen finished the war as a Kapit?n zur See. Obvisouly I need to have a serious chat with myself about jumping to conclusions!

    Once the photos arrive I will most definately post them to this thread.

    Cheers,

    Ian
