Robert J. Winklareth +
His son informed me that Mr. Robert "Bob" J. Winklareth has passed away May 3, 2020.
Bob is maybe best known for his "reversed photo" theory regarding the photos of the battle of the Denmark Strait.
R.I.P.

Re: Schopp, Palatinate, Germany
Maybe you should contact the museum in Pirmasens and see if they can help you any further:

Re: Where is this picture from?
As we see Admiral Hipper in the wake of Tirpitz (where the photo is taken from) and most likely a pocket battleship further aft it could show the german battlegroup leaving Altafjord on their sortie against convoy PQ 17.

Re: Gun turret of HMS Ajax / HMNZS Achilles
Thank you!
In the bismarck-class-dk-forum a member found the turret on google earth in Auckland: 36degrees 49minutes 49.74 seconds South; 174 degrees 47 minutes 27.13 seconds East.
But I ask again if somebody maybe has some more photos?

On the other hand he was aware of the fact that british cruisers now had radar and that this was possibly the last possibility to make a breakthrough throug denmark strait or sou...

Re: Destroyers vs. battleships - Comprehensive list from WW2
In an analysis by the German supreme naval command (SKL - Seekriegsleitung) the way Langsdorff fought the second part of the battle (the battle against the Light Cruisers) was criticized in the way that the own choice of courses was not the optimum. It was said that as a support for the own artiller...
