Photo #: NH 91659 Deschimag Shipyard, Bremen, Germany Fine screen halftone reproduction of a British Royal Air Force reconnaissance photograph of the Westhaven basin, taken 8 May 1942. Ships present include the nearly complete heavy cruiser Seydlitz (launched in 1939 but never finished) -- marked by arrow -- and three destroyers. The destroyer alongside Seydlitz is probably Z-34, which had been launched on 5 May, three days before the photograph was taken. Her machinery spaces are still open and no guns appear to be on board. The other two destroyer, moored side-by-side at the head of the basin, are probably Z-32 (1942-1944), inboard with smokestacks in place, and Z-33 (1943-1946, later Soviet Provornyy), outboard with smokestacks not yet installed. The original print came from U.S. Office of Naval Intelligence files. U.S. Naval Historical Center Photograph. Online Image: 141KB; 620 x 765 pixels |
