My grandfather was German and was working as an educator in Russia. He was conscripted into the Russian army as a correspondence officer and eventually he and my grandmother escaped to back into Germany. Once there, they came to America on Kaiser Wilhelm's ship "Der Grosse". I used to listen to many stories from my grandfather. The best one being that when first in America they were given bananas to eat and my grandmother threw them away thinking they were rotten because they had black spots on them.
