Heinrich Garbers (14 March 1909 – 18 December 1963) was a highly decorated ''Leutnant zur See'' of the Reserves in the Kriegsmarine and the special forces of the Abwehr "Ghost Sailors" ((ドイツ語:Geistersegler)) during World War II. He was also a recipient of the Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross. The Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross was awarded to recognise extreme battlefield bravery or successful military leadership. == Missions== Heinrich Garbers, Leutnant zur See d. R. (code name "Matador"), accomplished missions during WW II carrying out orders from the intelligence services Amt Ausland/Abwehr (OKW) and, afterwards, Sicherheitsdienst-SD (SS- RSHA). Sonderführer H. Garbers crossed the Atlantic Ocean at sail before the hostilities and later became part of a group of regatta winners that were selected to transport secret agents in the most unsuspicious way, it seems that following an idea of Adolf Hitler himself, to be able to assign more U-boats to war commitments. So, “phantom sailing ships” arose. During the 1942–44 period he broke through the Atlantic for 6 times, bound for Africa and South America. This way continuing in 20th century the European navigations at sail. At first he was appointed as a suitable Kommandant for the Kyloe by Christian Nissen (who at the end became its captain) and finally he was recruited by him as his steersman for the "Operation Weissdorn". That way he made in 1941 a first “phantom” voyage (departing from France and arriving in Villa Cisneros, Río de Oro, Spanish Sahara) which accomplished the success drop of Robbey Leibrant in South Africa, despite the troublesome behaviour of this former Boer boxing champion who´s task was to unleash a sequence of activities against the Anglo-Saxons in order to tilt the country to the axis side. For this service he deserved the Iron Cross second class (August 22, 1941; May 13, 1941). He also received the Blockade Runner Badge (February 2, 1942). 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Heinrich Garbers」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
