Gentlemen,
Heinrich Peter-Pirkham was born in Vienna,Austria on July 18,1916. He was awarded the German Cross In Gold while serving as commander of T-31 torpedoboat on August 8,1944. His rank was Kaptlt. He was temporary in command of destroyer Z-33 until the end of World War II. After the War,he served in the Bundesmarine and reached the rank of Fregattenkapitan.
Do have anyone information about his military career in the Kriegsmarine and the Bundesmarine? I notice something on one of the websites that said something about a Marinekameradschaft named "Fregattenkapitan Peter-Pirkham Villach". Villach is a city in Austria. Peter-Pirkham must have done something special to have his name mentioned. I wonder was that all about?
Sincerely,
Edward L.Hsiao
