    Cool Pic....

    Found this in an article of a couple of guys touring norway on XT500's. The ship is the german destroyer Georg Thiele. Lost on the 13 Apr 1940.

    Wow, it took them a while to find it, considering its perched up on the beach like that. I thought the Germans were supposed to be efficient?

    Great pic and good find guys.
    To every man upon this earth
    Death cometh sooner or late
    And how can a man die better
    Than facing fearful odds
    For the ashes of his fathers
    And the temples of his Gods
