Narrative:
FL270 about 15 min after departure from eddm we crossed someone's wake and hit bump; lasting 1 second maximum. The seatbelt sign was still on; the flight attendants had just got up to start their jobs. Three of them fell to the floor. The purser told me everything was fine; but they would like a supervisor to meet the flight in ZZZ. This was due to the concern of any problem later and not being able to prove it was work related. I asked if they wanted medical to meet flight and they said they were fine.
