Gneisenau (German Battleship, 1938)
Photographed through a porthole on the battleship Scharnhorst,
during the winter of 1939-40. Probably taken in late January
1940, when Scharnhorst arrived in the Baltic from Wilhelmshaven,
joining Gneisenau to work up for combat operations.
Copied from the contemporary German photo album "Meine Kriegserinnerungen
