    Really nice Kriegsmarine photo- taken onboard ship

    I found this at an antique shop yesterday, and immediately loved it.
    Do you think this was taken aboard a mine sweeper?

          That is a nice photo, the ship seems too large for a minesweeper to me, there's clearly at least two decks in view above the one they're standing on and that doesn't fit in with either the M-35 or M-40 class of minesweeper, perhaps a minelayer? The rails you see on the deck are for mines i believe. A bit difficult to tell but is the guy on the left wearing a Narvik shield on his left arm? I was also wondering why the guy on the right had a sidearm? duty NCO perhaps?

            Very cool find!! Ther are both smiling too!! These photos say so much. Their appearances are very similar to each other. I wonder if they were related.


            Best regards,

              I NEVER NOTICED THE NARVIK SHIELD!
              Thanks for pointing that out,Simon!
              And I think you are right that this is a mine layer, and not a mine sweeper.

                You have a good point there, Terrence.
                They almost look like father and son. Coincendence?
