GOERING'S YACHT

Reichsmarschall Goering, fresh from his victory in the field at the Battle of Stoke Edith, has turned his mind to how he can best assist the gathering Wye Flotilla. It seems to the Reichsmarschall that his own personal yacht - perhaps with the addition of a 3pdr "forrard" and a few Lewis Guns - may be just the thing:

that's the Reichsmarschall, seated and waving, on the rear deck.

Yacht named after his first wife, the "Carin II"

For scratchbuilders, the original schematics of the "Carin II" dating from 1936.

In the alt-universe (of reality), the "Carin II" was captured by British Forces at the end of the war. It then - unbelievably - served in the Royal Navy Rhine Flotilla, re-christened as "Prince Charles". At the end of the 1950s, Emmy Goering managed to reclaim the yacht from the British, as it had been Goering's personal property and had never served military purposes. She promptly sold the yacht, and, renamed again as the Carin II, it finally finished up in the hands of the journalist Gerd Heidemann, subsequently notorious for promoting the fake "Hitler Diaries".

After Heidemann's disgrace, the yacht was sold on to an Egyptian purchaser, and (after some further adventures) it is now re-christened (again) "Prince Charles" and moored in the old marina of el-Gouna, Egypt. It remains, nevertheless, a floating piece of history - surely one of the few chattels successively visited by Mussolini, Hitler, Goering and his top commanders (Udet, Milch and Jeschonnek), and then Field Marshall Montgomery, Prince Philip, King Charles III and Princess Margaret.

For those not inclined to a full scratchbuild, this Sarissa "Dunkirk Little Ship"
might - with the customary "squint" - be a good 28mm substitute for the "Carin II".

Ahoy there! The Reichsmarschall, aboard the "Carin II", waves to his adoring public.
