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.
U.S. Naval Historical Center Photograph.
