Hi guys

I'm looking for some pictures of the Sevastopol docks and/or harbor during the Siege by the Germans in WW2. More specifically, the ruins of the port itself as I'm trying to make a vignette with a Soviet Naval Infanrtyman with an appropriate setting. I have checked the internet and come up with nothing in the way of pictures of the destruction. I have the Osprey book but it doesn't have what I'm looking for. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Yes, there are too few Sevastopol docks/harbour photos to find. But I shall try to offer some images to Your attention:

1) Somewhere in Sevastopol - after the battle:


2) Italian PT boats based in destroyed harbour:


3) This is Russian victory - but You can see some ruined harbour area and ships:


4) The Soviet "Svobodny" destroyer is firing the enemy positions. See the harbour area, lifting crane, buildings and landscape:


5) The "Svobodny" destroyer has been sunk by German aviation - see harbour buildings:

Dear Richard !

Thank You for Your good words.
I hope, You has understood, that all these photos were made in Sevastopol exactly.

Regards,
Ed.

Great pictures!

MiniArt makes a Sevastopol diorama base that could make for a good start on your diorama.
