The E-boat "S 13" on the Rhine

The E-boat "S 13" Kriegsmarine passing under a bridge over the Rhine. Some passers-by wave to the also waving sailors. E-boats were small warships which were armed at that time with torpedoes, and were able to reach high speeds. This photo was taken earliest in late 1935. On the scanned photo the identifier of the "S 13" can not be seen, it had been painted over on the print. (Date created: 01.07.1935-31.12.1939)
