JohanH Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 Hello! What kind of uniforms are these guys wearing? The men in the background are wearing sailor uniforms, but these don´t "fit in" the picture. I´m not the owner of the photo, that´s why I don´t post the entire picture. I found the photo on a Swedish auction site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Prussian Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 (edited) Hello! Austrians with german naval soldiers. Does the first sitting German wear a Fez? Maybe the photo was taken in the Austrian war harbour Pola https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pula Edited January 21, 2020 by The Prussian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArHo Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 Interesting! Never heard about U-Flotille Mittelmeer before! https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/U-Flottille_Mittelmeer It seems like Cattaro would also be an option. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohanH Posted January 21, 2020 Author Share Posted January 21, 2020 Thanks guys! The knowledge here is impressive! It´s a bit strange that one of them seem to wear a fez... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 The two sailors in the back row wearing the white jackets are Austro-Hungarian, but the other sailors are German. From what I can make out the Austro-Hungarians are from the support vessel SMS GÄA, so Cattaro Bay as a location for the photo is a very real possibility.

Bayern Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 Hello Gentlemen , The seller of the pic saids : Photo of submarine dotation Germany WW1 1916 , Framed . its clear that although in the photo are German sailors ,are Austro Hungarian sailors too ,the two with fez and the two in white uniform ,apart from Army soldiers. so the photo was taken most probably in Pola or Cattaro ,Pul or Kotor , Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
