Picture request: Max Valentiner, U38 commander WW1

[larsb001]

All, I'm hoping for a little help.

A friend and I is in need of one or more photos of the German WW1 U38 Commander Max Valentiner, BUT from the WW2 period (1940-1946), civil and/or in his Kriegsmarine uniform.

U38 operated during WW1 in the Mediterranean with Max Valentiner as captain. Valentiner won a Pour le Merite, which he later gave to a distant relative who helped him settling in southern Denmark after WW2. This story is beeing documented in an article which will be published in the Danish Orders and Medals Society magazine, so we're only interested in photos that can be published.

We have also searched the net for such a photo withut luck, but should we have missed something a hint would also be of interest.

Can anybody help with this request?

Can anyone post Valentiner's bio from the book "Die Ritter des Ordens "Pour le mérite" by Hildebrand?

Thanks!
