Photos Baltic Sea, December 1941

[jja60]

Dear Forum members

I have got two photos showing German transports in 1941. The first one has text on the backside "Das Schiff auf dem wir zuerst fuhren 1941". With Photoshop playing I can make the name and home port as "HEIDEN..." or "HELDEN..." and "BREMEN". There are three or four letters in the name after the readable part. Can anyone confirm the ship's name? The second photo shows an icebreaker that in my opinion is the Finnish Jääkarhu. This photo has text "1941 Ostsee Begegnung mit einem Eisbrecher". I have no knowledge about more exact date or if this transport was from Germany to Finland or vice versa, but anyone like to try a guess?

Regards
Jari

How nice, a Polar Bear(ursus maritimus)

My sister is living in Finnland and named their first hamster (pet) Jääkarhu. After the first one died they bought another one that is now called Pikkukarhu (little bear... much more appropriate  )

Finnish is a very nice language but unfortunately hard to learn .

Back to Topic...

Meine Schwester lebt in Finnland und hat ihren Hamster so genannt. Nach dessen Ableben kam ein zweiter, der heißt nun (treffender) Pikkukarhu - kleiner Bär.

Finnisch ist eine fremd anmutende, aber sehr schöne Sprache. Nur leider auch sehr schwer zu lernen.

Aber nun zurück zu den Schiffen
