Talk:SS Scharnhorst (1934)

Pre-conversion photos?
This article needs a good photo or two. It would be interesting to see how the liner looked before the conversion. (On a semi-unrelsted note, apparently there was talk of converting the Queen Mary into an aircraft carrier, too, but this wound up not happening.) --24.21.148.155 (talk) 22:51, 7 February 2009 (UTC) Gousinsaang (talk) 15:02, 27 June 2018 (UTC) I have photos. The Wikimedia Commons people unceremoniously deleted them. If you want pictures, you may provide them.

The photos of Scharnhorst before conversion all seem to have copyright terms that preclude their use on Wikipedia.Gousinsaang (talk) 12:44, 4 October 2018 (UTC)

I have an original lunch menu from the Scharnhorst dated January 1938. I tried to upload a photo of it but it was quickly rejected. It is not in copyright. I give up. Gousinsaang (talk) 12:44, 4 October 2018 (UTC)
