Hans Albrecht made three trips to Spain during the Spanish Civil War with light cruiser Nurmberg.
On 13 november 1936 he was near the coasts of Cartagena,a city in south-east Spain,where i live.
Cartagena was heavily bombed during 4 hours by Ju52,whose bombs killed 90 people.Some of these bombes fell down 1kilometer far away from my house.The port was also bombed because almost all the weapons for the republican forces traveled from Rusia to Spain via Cartagena.
On 13/12/1939,english uboot HMS Salmon torpedoed the Nurmberg.Hans was on board.
