Kriegsmarine Admiral Posted November 16, 2023 Author Posted November 16, 2023 The photo was actually not taken in 1936. It was taken at the end of May 1937, when the German Panzerschiff „Deutschland“ brought the wounded and dead sailors to Gibraltar. I think one of the two Rear Admirals present is Alfred Englefield Evans, who was the Rear Admiral-in-Charge and Admiral-Superintendent at HM Dockyard Gibraltar from May 1937 until May 1939. Does anyone have a photo of Evans for comparison?
