Description

A German or Italian submarine readying to leave an Italian port with a large merchant vessel in the background. The image was probably taken from the deck of another transport vessel carrying German Afrika Korps soldiers to North Africa and all the ships may be part of a convey. This private German photograph is from an album found by NX50685 Private (later Sergeant) Norman Ashley Coleman, 9th Division Supply Company.
