Scharnhorst
(German Battleship, 1939)

Two of the ship's crewmen on the ice in Kiel harbor, Germany, during the winter of 1939-40, probably in late January 1940. The ice was particularly heavy in the western Baltic that winter.
The original photo caption translates: "By foot to land".

Copied from the contemporary German photo album "Meine Kriegserinnerungen auf Schlachtschiff Scharnhorst", page 6.
