Summary

Photographer	Royal Air Force
Description	English: Fine screen halftone reproduction of a British Royal Air Force reconnaissance photograph of the Westhaven basin at Bremen, Germany, taken 8 May 1942. Ships present include the nearly complete heavy cruiser Seydlitz (launched in 1939 but never finished) and three destroyers. The destroyer alongside Seydlitz is probably Z 34, which had been launched on 5 May, three days before the photograph was taken. Her machinery spaces are still open and no guns appear to be on board. The other two destroyers, moored side-by-side at the head of the basin, are probably Z 32 (1942–1944), inboard with smokestacks in place, and Z 33 (1943–1946, later Soviet Provornyy), outboard with smokestacks not yet installed.
