title: [The fate of a military sailor].
abstract: We present the social and medical history of a Danish war sailor in the merchant navy during the 2nd World War. He was exposed to severe sustained mental stress without a simultaneous physical stress. After about 60 hospital admissions to the hospital he was diagnosed as having a full-blown war sailor syndrome, equivalent to the DSM-III diagnosis of post-traumatic stress disorder.
