Hi Brian .
Who's that good looking Guy in the photo?? Great shot with the QE2 in the background, and the anchor of the Graf Spee, I understand that "The Fuhrer" went into a fit of hysteria when he gave the order "Scuttle"!
I have not getting any answers to my posts, have to look and see if I have any??Will check stats .

Here is a photo of GRAF SPEE at the Spithead Revue in May 1937, behind is the HMS Hood and HMS Resolution. 2 years later the Graf Spee was sinking British ships.

The telemetre, or gun range finder witch is stood behind my camera on the anchor photo. It is usualy right on top of the foremast over the bridge.

This painting is by a Canadian war artist and it depicts an incident that occurred in the North Atlantic. Here we see a U-Boat that had surfaced to do battle, or surrender, with a Canadian corvette, Ville de Quebec.
The Canadian was well prepared and rammed her,the impact threw one of the Germans overboard as he emerged from the conning. The U-Boat sank and the fate of her crew was not mentioned.

Glad to see you back,Brian! I've always thought it must have been a pretty grim experience, serving on a U-boat, or any sub' really! Like bomber crews,mortality was much higher than the norm!
