Wilhelm Springer was a planer. He belonged – as the historian Herbert Diercks writes – "to the SPD [German Social Democratic Party] for a long time, then went over to the KPD [German Communist Party] in 1928. Together with his wife Käthe, he got actively involved in the anti-Fascist resistance. On 8 Nov. 1934, he was arrested by the state police directly from his workplace at the Blohm & Voss shipyard.”
