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".

auf Schlachtschiff Scharnhorst", page 6.
