Eric’s childhood friend, Wolfgang Rittmeister, lived next door and they sailed again on the Baltic in the Kong Bele. (Wolfgang’s brother, John, a courageous psychiatrist, had been shot by Nazi thugs in 1943.) Kathi Schwärz, the farmer’s daughter who had protected the estate from Wehrmacht officers, again served Eric his morning orange juice and brought up the three Warburg children. She would die in Eric’s arms in 1968.
