Please help identify this ship

[Quantumny]

Hello everyone! I’m new here but I’m a collector of naval photographs and enjoy finding and discovering ships. I’ve recently picked these two pictures from a seller and would like help identifying it. At first glance by the camo and general shape I was thinking the German Luderitz but I’m not an expert. Any thoughts?

Have you posted over at axishistory.com?

No I’ve never been there before. To be honest I’ve never been on a WWII forum of any type

Hello Mr. Quantumny,
IMHO photos do not relate to same ship. Structures/fittings/camo are not similar.

However, I'm no expert of German support ships and cannot help further.

Agreed. One is a freighter, the other ... isn't.

Hi Quantumny,
I'm certainly also not an expert on this either, but I would assume the following:

Photo 1 https://imgbb.com/0Xy0QQB
German freighter during II. WW.
This is a quiet scene, probably a port in a back-area,
Possibly: Italy, France, Germany, Denmark. . .
Based on the uniform, probably taken between 1940 and 1942

The German S-Boat that can be seen in front of the actual ship is a clear indication
of an S-Boat tender. I would say, the "Adolf Lüderitz" or its sister ship "Carl Perters".
