Captain

[edit]

I'm assuming from the context that his father was a ship's captain as opposed to a military one, but I suggest confirming and clarifying this. ϢereSpielChequers 12:00, 16 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

His father was master of the cargo ship Merisaar, which was destroyed by a German submarine. His father and part of the crew managed to rescue themselves on a rescue boat. Ssgreporter (talk) 20:28, 22 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Nationality

[edit]

Is this chap Swedish, Estonian or both? ϢereSpielChequers 12:00, 16 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

He was Estonian who had lived in Sweden after 1943. Ssgreporter (talk) 20:31, 22 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
