Lunch of captured German sailors from the submerged U-175 submarine of the Nazi Kriegsmarine aboard the US Coast Guard Ship Spencer (USCGC Spencer).
Supposedly, on the German sailors table (in a large saucepan) cabbage, corned beef, coffee, sugar and bread.
Near the mug on the right of the German sailors is a pack of American-made Camel non-filter cigarettes.
The official name of the German sailors photo is “CORNED BEEF BREAKS GERMAN ARROGANCE”.
