Life is so uncertain, but the person who has successfully or fortunately overcome the challenges and life uncertainties is the king of all trades.
And “Achim’s Story” will highlight the same. The plot revolves around the eventful early life of Joachim Wedekind zur Horst, one of the few survivors of the Russian sinking of the Steuben in the Baltic Sea in February 1945, which killed 4,500 people. After the Gustloff and the Goya, this is thought to be the third-largest loss of life at sea.
Despite being born into an upper-class family in pre-Hitler Germany, Joachim has a tragic start to life. He spends his formative years in a tumultuous relationship with his mother and a life based on a lie that he discovers due to his curiosity as Hitler’s Germany descends into chaos. Joachim has always wanted to go to sea, despite his father’s objections, and when he finally does, he finds himself sailing on merchant ships in World War II, being awarded the Iron Cross by Field Marshal Erwin Rommel, and battling for his life on the Steuben.
In addition, Joachim encounters love, tragedy, fear, friendship, betrayal, joy, and good fortune both during the war and in the years that “follow” in a Danish refugee camp. He further learns that his decisions have a much more significant effect on his life than he had anticipated, and the results are something he cannot change.
“Achim’s Story” also discusses a number of aspects of personal life that contribute to leading a successful life. It will detail how erratic life can be and how realizing and accomplishing your goals through self-belief and taking the necessary steps is possible. It is based on a biography that explains how unexpected things can happen even in a life that are frequently exciting and difficult.
Additionally, you can read and learn various facts and secrets about Germany, its history, and its Merchant Marines before and after the crucial World War II era as you read through the pages.
