I am trying to find the answer to this as well. I have a photo postcard of the ship with the officers' signatures all over it which was given to my father, who knew them, in Sept 1913. They gave a birthday party for him aboard Scharnhorst in June 1913 (I have his place name card) I want to try and trace any surviving relatives of any of those who signed the card
