Rectangular plates and my best guess at English translations: Hauptruderanlagen • Main steering system Schaltkasten • Switchbox Ers Vorwärmer – 5 Min später Ölreiniger abschalten • First pre-heater - off 5 minutes later, oil cleaner Lüfter darf nur zeitweise bei Schlichtfahrt ausgeschaltet warden • Fans may only temporarily be turned off in finishing ride Seewasser - vorwärmer erst einschalten wenn wasser umläuft • Sea water - turn only when water heater circulates Magnetkupplung für Langenwinkel • Magnetic coupling for target angle (one of three angles of the firing triangle) vordere rohre/achtere rohre • front tubes/aft tubes Zieloptik: (Ziel = target) Optical sight TZR: Zielrichtungsgeber (T.Z.R.) Target angle sender Schmutz-Motorenöl-Vorwärmer erst einschalten wenn Öl umläuft • Dirty engine oil pre-heater turn on only when oil circulates

Here's a dedicated photo from Grossadmiral Erich Raeder to Oblt. z. S. Adalbert Schnee during the time when Schnee commanded U-201. Typical example signed by Raeder and the photographer, Sandau. I can make out the beginning of the dedication: "To Oberleutnant z. See Adalbert Schnee in ..." but that's about as far as I can get. Perhaps another member can help me out with the rest.

Kriegsmarine U-Boat Badge
Erik Krogh replied to MR T's topic in Germany: Third Reich: Wehrmacht Medals, Decorations & Awards
Paul, Your badge looks very similar to a vertical pin FO (Orth), but the plate on the catch is very uncharacteristic of FO. Gordon has a similar badge to yours pictured on page 193 of "Torpedo los!", but the catch plate is slightly different. I would give it a tentative "thumbs up", but hope that others will offer opinions. Best Regards, Erik -
Kriegsmarine U-92 Plaque

Great looking plaque! Thanks for sharing this. Best Regards, Erik -
10th U-Flottille stickpin. I purchased this at the SOS this year, and the seller gave me a copy of Detlev's COA. This stickpin came with a U-170 traditions badge very similar to the one I purchased from Detlev as well as photos of the crewman. My U-170 trad badge (posted earlier in this thread) came with the doc grouping of Willi Prediger.
