The marker on Hans Langsdorff's grave, captain of the World War II pocket battleship "Admiral Graf Spee," at a cemetery in Buenos Aires, Argentina, February 2, 2004. Marine divers will attempt on February 5 to raise the range finder of the ship, which was scuttled by Langsdorff with explosives off the Uruguayan coast in December 17, 1939, after it suffered major damage in a battle with three British warships. Langsdorff took his own life a few days later in Buenos Aires. PICTURE TAKEN FEBRUARY 2, 2004. REUTERS/Marcos Brindicci MBH/HB
