Wilhelmshaven, Germany
View looking north-northeast from within the icy Hipperhafen,
looking toward six German destroyers tied up at the Gazellebruke
("Gazelle pier", later renamed "Commodore Bonte
Quay") during the winter of 1939-40.
Photographed from the battleship Scharnhorst. The top
of a floating crane can be seen in the shipbuilding basin in
the right center distance.
Copied from the contemporary German photo album "Meine Kriegserinnerungen
auf Schlachtschiff Scharnhorst", page 21.
