Hans Lüdemann

Marine Engineer Hans Lüdemann (died 1913) was a German sailor who died saving his ship, Torpedo Boat S148, after a boiler room explosion. His actions saved many lives. A World War II German destroyer, Z18, which was scuttled in the Battle of Narvik was named Hans Lüdemann in his honour.
