1942 · Germans Sink Ships Near St. Simons Island
Lights from homes along the coast of St. Simons Island provided a clear view of the SS Oklahoma for German U-boat Captain Reinhard Hardegen on April 8, 1942. A German torpedo was fired at the SS Oklahoma shortly after midnight. An hour later, a second torpedo was fired at the oil tanker Esso Baton Rouge. Both ships sunk and the attacks left 22 seamen dead. After the incident, residents of the Golden Isles panicked over concern of a German Invasion of the coast and were stringently observant of a nighttime blackout.

Name Meaning
German and Austrian German: habitational name from a place called Arnsdorf, one near Bautzen, Saxony, another near Salzburg, Austria. This surname is very rare in Germany and is apparently no longer found in Austria, where it may have been originally spelled Arnsdorf .
History: The surname Arnsdorff was first brought to North America from Austria by Andreas Lorenz Arnsdorff (born 1677 in Salzburg, Austria, died 1736 in Savannah, GA) and his son John Peter Arnsdorff. They arrived in GA in 1734 in a group of Protestants expelled from the Archbishopric of Salzburg.
