Alfred Eick is a former German U-boat commander and recipient of the Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross. The Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross was awarded to recognise extreme battlefield bravery or successful military leadership in World War II. He was born in Essen and lives in Bielefeld today. At the 25 anniversary of Eick's sinking of the SS Point Pleasant Park, the surviving crew created a monument to those that died in Point Pleasant Park, Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada. Eick sent $30 for a wreath to be placed at the base of the monument.
