The memorials commemorate two missions by German Sea Rescue Service (DGzRS) off Borkum, in which a total of eight sea rescuers were killed. The six-member crew of the "Hindenburg" remained missing under unclear circumstances since their mission on November 28, 1940, until wreckage and bodies washed ashore. Two men from the "Alfried Krupp" lost control of the rescue ship on the stormy night of January 1/2, 1995, and were overwhelmed by the floodwaters.
