My mother had already bought the\u003cbr\u003e  tickets for the ship, the Wilhelm Gustlof, when my grandmother warned us that\u003cbr\u003e  the “water hasn’t got any planks”. I never forgot this sentence because it\u003cbr\u003e  saved our lives. We didn’t go onboard the ship but went to the main station\u003cbr\u003e  on January 13 1945. It was a freezing night. We were extremely lucky that a\u003cbr\u003e  train with wounded soldiers picked us up and they gave us a little bit of\u003cbr\u003e  room on their matresses to sleep and we headed to Berlin. When we arrived i\u003cbr\u003e  looked out of the window and all I could see were stones and a free field and\u003cbr\u003e  I asked myself if this can be a capital city?”. A long time passed by and I\u003cbr\u003e  went on a trip to London. the baggage controller at the airport stopped me\u003cbr\u003e  and asked “What ship are you on sir?” I answered “the General Belgrado sir”.\u003cbr\u003e  The ship had just been sinking to the bottom of the ocean after it had been\u003cbr\u003e  destroyed by the British Navy during the Falklands war. These ships stories\u003cbr\u003e  have to be completed by another one where me and my friend Conny Plank were\u003cbr\u003e  on a trip to Hong Kong in 1982. Conny wanted to know more about his roots\u003cbr\u003e  because his grandfather had left Germany with the imperial troops of Emperor\u003cbr\u003e  William II to China as a ship builder and had settled down there. Remembering\u003cbr\u003e  Conny I must also think of my promotional tour to Japan in 1982 where we went\u003cbr\u003e  together. The record company decided to do promotional spot for the album\u003cbr\u003e  with the a famous Japanese Whiskey. A man enters a little boat rowing slowly\u003cbr\u003e  away on a lake. He sometimes stop rowing in order to have a little sip and\u003cbr\u003e  then continues. After 40 seconds a bottle of whiskey rises up out of the\u003cbr\u003e  water saying ‘For people who are searching for independence and freedom’...\u003cbr\u003e  Holger Czukay\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat Detail: 2x10\" (triple gatefold plus poster)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: Vinyl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenre: Rock\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Paladin Vinyl","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50514025840780,"sku":"X122CQ-GV7N-0O","price":31.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0667\/1106\/0620\/files\/holger-czukay-der-osten-ist-rot-rome-remains-rome_a26gm.jpg?v=1780946109","url":"https:\/\/rockbandapparel.com\/products\/holger-czukay-der-osten-ist-rot-rome-remains-rome-vinyl","provider":"Rock Band Apparel","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
