I think I have found him sailing from Hamburg on the SS A.Ballin to New York in 1925 - info states Herr Behrendt on this ship was 40years old (which fits him  from dob  of 13.12.1884)  Occupation stated as Architect.  Transit no.28060 on ship's manifest.   Only thing confusing is occupation.-  at first marriage he was a shipping clerk.

This architect married his wife Lydia Hoffman in 1913 in Germany.  I really think this is a totally different man.

Yes, you are correct and I had the wrong Herr Behrendt. Thank you for your research.  I silll wonder where he went after  fathering his second child in 1915 in Chorlton, S Manchester at 22 Witton St, Chorlton-on-Medlock, M/cr.
I think he was on a casualty list in 1916 with 4th Kompagnie, Deutschtal mansfeld sp? (from a German reading)
