Odulf Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 In the Kriegsmarine was customary to have a Totenwache (watching over a dead shipmate) when a shipmate died. The body was covered by the flag and lied in state on the quarterdeck with an honor guard of two sailors with drawn bayonets (in the Marine HJ, with drawn Fahrtenmesser/knives) but no rifles.Two photos of a Totenwache, on board the sailing school ship Horst Wessel, and on the Cruiser Emden.
