Identifizierung / Identification

[ikben]

Dear Forum members,

Can someone identify the ship on the drawing ?

The text in the Dutch archive says " Widder / Neuman ", Left Le Havre in 1942 for repair in Vlissingen. On the drawing a 'false' steam pipe to make it more look like a freighter. The ship was heavily armed.

But I think it is not the Widder / Neuman.

Thanks in advanced.

Hello ikben,
the second (false) funnel was carried by the sistership "Orion" ex "Kurmark", there is a picture dated February 1940 taken in the Baltic.
As far as I know neither "Orion" nor "Widder" (not ex "Neuman", but ex "Neumark") carried the false funnel during their cruise or after their return.

Viele Dank für Ihre Antwort auf meine Frage.
