Footnote: Wilhelm Heinrich Friedrich Alander was born on October 18, 1898 in Wilhelmshaven, Prussia. His father was a Navy artificer. Alander became a machinist and then joined the Imperial German Navy as a war volunteer on November 10, 1916, as part of the 1st Detachment of the 2nd Shipyard Divison (1. Abteilung II. Werft-Division) in Wilhelmshaven. He first served on the Cruiser “Karlsruhe”, the Battleship “Westfalen”, and then the Cruiser “Königsberg”. Due to the reduction of the German fleet, Alander was discharged on September 10, 1920. He then worked in the police force between 1920 and 1923, then joined the mercantile marine (Handelsmarine), with which he stayed until 1927, the year he got married. He settled down and bought a grocery store, which he then managed until 1940. Alander was drafted into the Kriegsmarine on August 5, 1940. Between 1942 and 1943, he served to protect the French coast. Later, he was assigned to the Floating Anti-Aircraft Battery (Schwimmende Flakbatterie) “Medusa” outside Wilhelmshaven, as part of the Navy Anti-Aircraft Detachment 222. He was wounded during this assignment in January 1945.
