Hi Morten,
I could make a KM Chaplain thread but I only have these two photos. Does somebody have any more to post?
I do have a few Heer Chaplain photos in my collection.
According to Angola & Schlicht's "Die Kriegsmarine - Uniforms & Traditions Vol. 2" the collar patches in my photos are of the M1942 pattern. Odulf is correct in stating the Chaplain is of the Protestant/Evangelical faith as there is no Stola worn and no "Christ" on his cross.
See scans from the book.
Cheers,
Larry

Interesting press photo Larry, thanks for sharing. I think Reader is not distributing the Verwundetenabzeichen but the Spanienkreuz.
The text says (translated)
Presenting the badge of honour, as instituted by the Führer, to the volunteers in Döberitz Camp.
Grand-Admiral Raeder issues the wounded of the Armoured Ship Deutschland, the award of honour, as instituted by the Führer.
The Wound Badge was (re) instituted on 1 september 1939, three months later.
Thanks for the clarification.
Cheers,
Larry

Very nice photo Odulf, thanks for posting it here.
Here is a Press Photo (dated 5-6-39) showing Grossadmiral Raeder awarding a Wound Medal to a crew member of Panzerschiff Deutschland.
Note the wearing of a Geschutzfuhrer T (Turmgeschutz) specialty patch. This patch was discontinued in 1940.
Cheers,
Larry

Sawfish emblem belonged to U-96. Plenty of repro. insignia for sale on the net.
Here for instance: http://www.warhats.com/ww2-german-u-boat-badges.html
According to this site the emblem represents 9 U-Boat Flotilla.

Thanks guys.
Still a very long way to go. Seems to be harder these days to find new patches. Concentrating on cloth at the moment.
