Updated 07-May-2014

The photos on this page are take from a trip to Germany by members of the H.M.S. Hood Association. The trip was made during the late 1970s or early 1980s. Veterans met up with their counterparts from the Kameradschaft "Schlachtschiff Bismarck" (Bismarck Association). The images are taken from a set of slides held by veteran Ken "Nobby" Clark.

This statue, as well as the Battleship Bismarck memorial are near the mausoleum of Otto von Bismarck.

Nobby must have taken this one. The gentleman on the left is a Bismarck veteran and on the right a Hood veteran.

Here we seem to have three modern day German Officers.
