    I was going through some negatives of WWII Germany and I would like to know if anyone can identify these images. Thanks!

    Looks like a 1934A class destroyer and the 11 would make her Bernd von Arnim.
    No idea on the place

    I don't think so TiredOldSoldier.

    "Bernd von Arnim" was Z-11, but that was not her pennant number. See here: German Destroyers - Z11 - Bernd von Arnim

    Pennant number "11" was worn by Z-4 "Richard Beitzen", a Type 1934 German destroyer.
    German Destroyers - Z4 - Richard Beitzen

    You can note the subtle differences in the forward superstructure in the Type 1934 the Type 1934a.
    The superstructure of the "Bernd von Arnim" does not match that of the destroyer in mswilhelmgustloff's photograph.
