When the cruiser was being recommisioned in DANZIG in December 1940, would it be possible that some of the crew were housed on "BEISCHIFF IBERIA" as I have a postcard showing the crew member was on the beischiff but his feldpost number was for LEIPZIG.Any information would be appreciated
23 Aug. 1928 launched by F. Schichau, Danzig, as RIO MAGDALENA for Hamburg-Amerika Linie (HAPAG).
29 Dec. 1928 start of maiden voyage from Hamburg to West Indies.
Jan. 1935 renamed IBERIA.
