stevenbecker Posted 27 December , 2020 Share Posted 27 December , 2020 Mates, Quick question about this site An entry shows what looks like Trgef @ Which is an E for England triegsgefangen England oder feinen kolonien Now Google translate gives me something like Caught in a trap England or Five/Fine Colonies The Naval Officer is Zirzow (possibly Otto) Kor-Kapt (Maj) Marine Navigation officer SMS Goeben (Yavuz) Seyir subayi (Navigator) 1914 1914-16 (possibly born at Danzig ) triegsgefangen England oder feinen kolonien possibly PoW 1918 awarded EK I 11-15 shown in Klaus Wolf's Book Does this mean he was taken PoW or what? Any ideas S.B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KizmeRD Posted 27 December , 2020 Share Posted 27 December , 2020 Kriegsgefangen, with a k, not triegsgefangen - so yes, a PoW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlie2 Posted 27 December , 2020 Share Posted 27 December , 2020 Yes he was a PoW, you have misread some of the letters, it reads Kriegsgefangen England oder seinen Kolonien https://grandeguerre.icrc.org/en/File/Details/3827498/1/2/ https://grandeguerre.icrc.org/en/File/Zoom/D/05/01/C_G1_D_05_01_0203/C_G1_D_05_01_0203_0184.JPG/4 Charlie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Lowrey Posted 27 December , 2020 Share Posted 27 December , 2020 Zirzow wasn’t just on Baden, Zirzow was Baden’s commanding officer when she surrendered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
