They belong to the shipyard? I just wrote he climbed on a crane to explain this nice panoramic photo… I don’t really understand your point. But once you opened the topic: What don’t you understand when they write “low intensity”? The 1941 aerial pic looks very unsharp, but I see far less signs of activity than the 1943 pic. Less of these cranes along the railways? Somehow less activity. The place looks pretty clean along the the railways…while the later pics shows tons of material lying around. As its claimed it was almost ready to launch…so watertight.
There are not even ‘low intensity’
Germany conclude on dismantling it as they have no way to supply material needed for her,
and your last photo clearly showed that outer hulls’ plates are dismantled and hull being lowered.
Not even need to mention second photo where underwaterpart are dismantled too.
Thats what even russian souces claim Mr. Whats your source?
No it is different. He wrongfully insist that Germany tried to build Ukraine out of paper consideration. No they didn’t.
Have to be agressive on distorting truth.
On what russian sources XD
I think you’re clueless. The second pic does not belong to the 1943 set. Don’t you see it? Everyonce can see the difference between the 1941 scene and the same place in 1943. Maybe I should have pointed out especially for you. I think its the same side of the yard as we see it 2 years later. Thats why I included it.
Oh I do have very source of none such things were written in russian
В годы войны попавший в руки германских войск (Николаев был оккупирован ими 16 августа 1941 года) корпус «Советской Украины» был частично разобран (снято около 4000 т металла), а при отступлении 28 марта 1944 года из Николаева немцы приложили немало усилий к приведению корабля в состояние, исключающее возможность достройки. В 1944 году было сочтено, что техническая готовность корабля в итоге снизилась более чем в два раза. У двух других строившихся линкоров она за годы войны уменьшилась очень незначительно.

Congratulations, you just found out the thing was blown up before Germany retreated in 1944.
Then what will you explain about in 1943, hull is lower than what she is in 1941? huh?
You just don’t want to read from 1941 about 4,000 ton of hull material were dismantled xd
германских технических специалистов и подвергся тщательному изучению. В даль нейшем оккупанты сняли с корабля более 30% металла и брони, а при отступлении в марте 1944 г. приложили немало усилий к приведению корпуса в состояние, исклю чающее возможность достройки.

They examined the ship, but no particular reconstruction happened, only dismantling.
For me it sounds like that particular article refers to what happened after 1943 to 1944 retreat. Why do you think its impossible they tried to launch it up to 1943? Later on they removed things ofc and finally tried to destroy the wreck as they had to gtfo of Nikolajew. Thats how I understood it.
“The unfinished battleship Sovetskaya Ukraina on the slipway of the Marti Shipyard in occupied Nikolajev.” So, what are they doing? Breaking things up? Or trying to make it somehow ready to move it off? Maybe someone can tell. Ze Germans are working there, thats for sure.
