Scharnhorst (German Battleship, 1939)
Closeup view of the starboard main bow anchor, ice-covered during
the winter of 1939-40, probably in January 1940 in the Baltic
Sea. Ice also coats the ship's foredeck, lifelines and 11-inch
gun turrets.
Copied from the contemporary German photo album "Meine Kriegserinnerungen
auf Schlachtschiff Scharnhorst", page 7.
