Scharnhorst (German Battleship, 1939)
View looking down from battleship's main deck, forward, as she
steams through ice in the Baltic Sea during the winter of 1939-40,
probably in January 1940. The western Baltic ice was very heavy
into February 1940.
The ship's stem runs horizontally through the middle of the view,
from left-center to the right edge.

auf Schlachtschiff Scharnhorst", page 7.
