47 - TWO WW1 IMPERIAL GERMANY NAVY FLAGS

TWO WW1 IMPERIAL GERMANY NAVY FLAGS Two Imperial German flags. One depicts Linienschiff Schlesien. Footnote: SMS Schlesien was one of five Deutschland-class pre-dreadnought battleships built for the German Kaiserliche Marine (Imperial Navy) between 1904 and 1906. Named after the German province of Silesia, Schlesien was laid down at the Schichau-Werke shipyard in Danzig on 19 November 1904, launched on 28 May 1906, and commissioned on 5 May 1908. She was armed with a battery of four 28 cm (11 in) guns and had a top speed of 18 knots (33 km/h; 21 mph). The ships of her class were already outdated by the time they entered service, as they were inferior in size, armor, firepower, and speed to the revolutionary new British battleship HMS Dreadnought. Dimensions: Largest: 21 x 24 in., (53.5 x 61 cm.) Condition: Good with very light traces of wear. Два памятных флага с изображением немецких боевых кораблей периода конца Первой - начала Второй Мировой войны. Один из флагов подписан - "Линейный корабль "Шлезиен"". Немецкий эскадренный броненосец "Шлезиен" был спущен на воду в 1908 году. В межвоенный период использовался в качестве учебного судна. Броненосец был последним крупным немецким кораблем, атаковавшим наземные объекты наступающих советских войск в начале мая 1945 года. Состояние: Хорошее. Незначительные следы использования.
