==Early Life and Family==
Heinz von Westernhagen was born on 29 August 1911 in Riga, Latvia. He bore an ancient Junker family name that can be traced back to early twelfth centuries. From 1914 to 1919, over the course of 5 years, the von Westernhagen family has been forced to abandon their home twice to make the escape to Germany. The 1st time was in the winter of 1914-1915, when all German were ordered to leave Riga within 3 days or be deported to Siberia. In 1917, when Riga was taken by German forces, the family returned. Only to leave again in July 1919 for fear to relive the terror when Riga was occupied by Bolsheviks in January, and this time was for good.〔Agte, Wittmann, vol 1, p. 313〕
The following years the von Westernhagen family has endured incredible hardship. In March 1927, two weeks after graduated from high school, not even 16, von Westernhagen joined the German merchant marine. In the next 6 years he has made many voyages, sailed beyond Mediterranean Sea to the West Indies, Far East and Australia. In November 1933, von Westernhagen finally docked, and worked on-shore in a rubber factory till October 1934.〔〔Agte, Wittmann, vol 1, p. 314〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://abteilung101.ucoz.net/index/biography/0-6 )〕
