Early morning at the small port of St Honore-Sur-Mer.......
Amended 02/06/2025 to add some notes on the game (see end of the post)

German sentries patrol the section of the docks they are using for delivery of supplies and a temporary U-boat base (for refuelling/re-arming etc)....
Some armed crew men from the u-boat move onto the dock.....
