    Unknown British Naval officers in Gibraltar 1936


    Recommended Posts

    Hello,

     

    This photo was taken on board the German Panzerschiff "Deutschland" while it was docked in Gibraltar in 1936.

    Could anyone help me identify the four British officers present?

     

    1: unknown Rear Admiral

    2: Konteradmiral Hermann von Fischel

    3: Kapitän zur See Paul Fanger (Commandat of the "Deutschland")

    4: unknown Admiral

    5: unknown Rear Admiral

    6: unknown Captain

     

    Thanks!

    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?
