Re: The official AHF Imperial German Army & Navy quiz thread
Seeing as there are no takers, I will post another question. Who is this General Officer. A couple of clues. The photograph is from around 1900-1902 and there is a distinctive uniform item that probably gives the answer.

Last I heard, Nigel Green was never a Prussian General. Played a great part in Zulu though.

I think we need another clue. The observant viewer may note that he is wearing a naval officer's waist belt and not an army officers waist sash.

I think I shall have to answer this and then let someone else post the next question. The officer is question is the then Generalmajor Paul v. Hoepfner, Inspector of Naval Infantry between and hence uniquely the Naval Officers' belt.

What warship of the Imperial Navy began as an almost unique freighter operated by the North German Lloyd shipping line?

hi, Galahad,
this might be U 155, previously the DEUTSCHLAND, a commercial submarine, having made 2 successful trade tours to the US under the command of (civil) captain Paul König.

Re: The official AHF Imperial German Army & Navy quiz thread
Hiyas PB.....Congradulations! It was indeed the U-155. I was hoping to be sneaky by saying "almost unique", since most people don't know she had a sister ship, the Bremen, that was lost on her 1st voyage. But you didn't fall for it--durn it!

Re: The official AHF Imperial German Army & Navy quiz thread
hi,
well, let´s stay a little bit with "merchant ships"
A German merchant ship became a British merchant ship, then became a German auxiliary warship and was finally scuttled far away from home ... which might it be ?
