Unidentified Crews

 Translation: "The blue eight (= national team ITA)

entering the final in Montreal would be a big result

for us" - In fact the Italian eight did not start there.

This photo of a M4+ race shows a West-German

(FRG) crew in the foreground fighting against an

East-German (GDR) crew. Neither the regatta

course nor the year in which this event took place

are known. Johann Faerber (member of the FRG

crew that won the M4+ gold medal at the Munich

Olympic Games 1972 against a GDR M4+) has

assured that the stamp doesn't depict his crew.
