The most interesting of the three shots, this must have been some sort of experiement to see how the 88 would do.

Sorry, but this is an armed ferry boat; the Germans had quite a few of those which were armed, some even heavely; most more used to ferry troops and commodities to and from the island of the Krim, very needful to escape the Russian pincer movement to trapp the German on the Krim.
