Photo #: NH 102539

German submarine, probably U-47


Photographed from or near the battleship Scharnhorst circa late 1939 or early 1940. The original caption states that this submarine was returning to Kiel, Germany, from a war patrol.
Note insignia on the conning tower, which looks very much like U-47's "Bull of Scapa Flow" emblem.

Copied from the contemporary German photo album "Meine Kriegserinnerungen auf Schlachtschiff Scharnhorst", page 19.
