The End

The book which all these photographs are mounted was "liberated"! It carries the title page "Sport-Logbuch der Marine Flak Abt. 813"

Above is a scan of one of the few pages with anything written on it during its German owned life.

I've finished recording the information and the book is now in the Imperial War Museum.
