Deutsche Bundesbahn Ferries. The current Deutsche Bundesbahn
dates from the 1990 merger of Deutsche Reichsbahn (East Germany)
and Deutsche Bundesbahn - Hannover according to Lloyds Groups though
I don't know how correct the latter title is as previously both Lloyds
and German sources show it as Deutsche Bundesbahn Bundesbahndirecktion
Hamburg [shown by Lloyds in the 1950s as Deutsche Bundesbahn Eisenbahndirecktion
Hamburg]. This latter had its own flag as shown by Die Deutsche
Handelsflotte 1957 of white with a black "winged" reverse triangle
of the black, red and gold colours with the point being between the black
letters "D" and "B" [see below] and was the bigger of the 2 West German
rail ferry companies. The other was Deutsche Bundesbahn Bundesbahndirektion
Münster but its sole small ferry "Wangerooge" seems to have finished
prior to the merger and there is no indication of what, if any, flag it
used.
