Aquesta fotografia forma part d'un album militar naval fet durant la Segona Guerra Mundial sembla que el 1941, a Romania.
Aquesta es una foto de propaganda del vaixell escola de la marina romanesa a partir de 1939, el Mircea. Aleshores era nou de trinca. El més interessant es que jo l'he vist i fotografiat, el 2007, al port de Barcelona!
En concret sembla que fou un regal per part d'un oficial naval romanès a un oficial de la Kriegsmarine alemana destinat a Romania. L'album s'inicia amb un text escrit a ma per part del que crec fou el comandant de les llanxes ràpides romaneses, Nicolae Bardescu en agraiment al capità Leo Kreisch, comandant del Marinelehrkommandos Rumänien i futur viceadmiral de la Kriegsmarine.
======================
This photograph is part of a naval military album taken during World War II apparently in 1941, in Romania.
This is the Romanian Navy training ship Mircea, which entered service in 1939, just 2 years before this album was compiled. Yet what I love about it is that I've seen and photographed it. It was in the harbour of Barcelona, in 2007!
It seems that this album was a gift from a Romanian naval officer to an officer of the German Kriegsmarine assigned to Romania. The album begins with a handwritten text by what I believe was the commander of the Romanian speedboats, Nicolae Bardescu thanking Captain Leo Kreisch, commander of the Marinelehrkommandos Rumänien and future viceadmiral of the Kriegsmarine.
