Glarac photo.
On the Glarac (Glorious Ardent and Acasta website is a page,
German photo's of the battle, I am pretty sure that the back
row right is Kapitaen zur see Kurt Caesar Hoffmann., under
him in the photograph is another four ringer. Can anyone
confirm his being First Officer (Exec Offizier) Guenther
Scharnhorst. ?
Please confirm if possible that Adm. Wilhelm Marschall was
on board Gneisenau during the sinking of Glorious, Ardent,
and Acasta ?

In view of documents concerning Operation Paul not being
released until 2041. Are there any theories of.
How Scharnhorst and Gneisenau located Glorious, Ardent,
and Acasta.? was this by chance (seeing smoke) ?
Who gave permission for the Glorious, with two escorts to
leave the convoy, and return to Scapa Flow.? Could this have
been the P.M. ?
