Italian Torpedo Boat "Lupo"

I have been working on my dad's (Karl Gerstenmeier) memoirs and looked up this vessel on the internet but found terrible photos. My dad, a member of the XXX Armeekorps staff in operation Marita, Greece, 1941, took these photos of the vessel. I hope you enjoy them.

The Lupo was involved in the Battle of Crete as an escort. She had a run-in with the Royal navy and made a good accounting of herself.

Here is a link.
