Ceremony aboard the Spanish heavy cruiser Canarias for the Bismarck's dead in the morning of 31 May 1941. The Canarias (Captain Benigno González-Aller) left the port of El Ferrol at 1140 on 27 May in an attempt to rescue survivors from the Bismarck. On 30 May, after a brief meeting with the German weather observation ship Sachsenwald, the Canarias found the corpses of Musikobergefreiter Walter Gaszczak and Marinesignalgast Heinrich Neuschwander which were pulled up aboard and given a naval burial service on the next day.
