These are obviously fakes, as is the ship itself: she is marked as Z49, a number assigned to a ship in the never-built Type 1936C series. Only Z46 and Z47 were ever laid down, and both of these ships were broken up for scrap when their shipyard was captured by Allied troops in 1945. The ship was actually played by an Italian tug in most shots.
