Photograph taken after the German Fleet was scuttled on 21st June 1919. After a variety of emails regarding this photograph and whether it was Seydlitz of Von Der Tann, we have had a majority of about 95% confirming this wreck to be Seydlitz giving a variety of reasons and have therefore come to the conclusion that this is Seydlitz. Many thanks for all the emails, especially to Dorain Jung, who provided a wealth of information about the ships.
