U-35 underway during the Spanish Civil War.
The national colors of black, white and red are painted the full height of the front of the conning tower for easier identification; the superimposed national badge is presumably gold or yellow picked out with black.

with leather trowsers and dark blue fall-collar sweaters; and note that the flat seaman's cap is still worn by all ratings. [8]
