<br />http://epic.awi.de/28119/1/Polarforsch1981_1_4.pdf confirms that Norwegian Polarsirkel ice breaker was used on German Antartic Expedition.

<br />
<br />Cannot confirm the call sign LATK. Not confirmed at NIS/NOR since call sign LATK was used for the LAUVSTAD, IMO 9418808 since 2007. Polarsirkel is not in NIS/NOR.
