A member of the crew was the young Theodor Plivier, who became later a revolutionary, communist, and famous author. In his first novel "Des Kaisers Kulis" ("The emperor's coolies") he assimilates his experience on board the "Wolf". The book was transformed in a theatrical play, too, and forbidden after the National Socialist Machtergreifung. Another crew member was Jakob Kinau, brother of author Gorch Fock – Kinau served as a Minenbootsmannsmaat on the "Wolf". In his voyage diary, which was published in 1934 in the Quickborn-Verlag, Hamburg, he mentioned some details of a mutiny on board, which was not described in memoirs of other "Wolf" crew.
