SMS Baden, identified by Frank Kohlmann. A reproduction of this original photo / photo-postcard size 10" x 7" approx available. Order photograph here ? Walker Archive. Order Code PGB109 Frank Kohlmann's e-mail - This photograph can also be found in the book "Die Linienschiffe der Bayern-Klasse" by German authors Gerhard Koop and Klaus-Peter Schmolke. Sadly, they did not check their references and identified it as the Bayern. But - as can be seen in the picture - the ship has an "Admirals bridge". Only Baden had an "Admirals bridge", as she was the Flagship of the High Seas Fleet. Another identification is: Baden had her rafts on the turrets and Bayern had her rafts on A, X and Y Turrets but not on B-Turret. Inset she had hers on B-Barbette. |
