<HTML>Guys,
I rest my case. I visited the Kieler Foerde a few times but on the pictures I can not make out specific details or landmarks. It could be that Rainer is right but the last pictures contain no further details for identification of the type XXI in the first batch of photo's. What we have is the meeling of the bull or lion and there is no other way than to go to the Traditions Archiv to identify the XXI. As for the censoring of the Swastika I think the photo's were put up for sale in Europe first because here they keep a very tight "a....." rule not showing this sign in the public domain. I can live with that rule though in some cases I think it is "overdone".
regards,
