Hi,

Does anyone recognize the ink stamp behind this Graf Spee photo which I presume is W.W.2 era. Thanking you all in advance and hoping to hear from some of you soon.

I tried to google "Foto-Haase, Wilhelmshaven" but did not find any result for WW2 time.

Hi Michel,

to the ink stamp: it is the stamp of the photographer H. Hasse from Wilhelmshafen, a town and port in northern Germany. He had also a publishing house publishing pics of war ships. The pic was taken on the 30th May 1934 when the "Graf Spee" was launched on the shipyard "Reichsmarinewerft" in Wilhelmshafen.
