The second one

Hello

Here are two more letters both for men serving with the 7th u-flott

The first one is another file copy to Heinrich Simon killed on U227

The second one is the one that was sent home to the family

this is to Hubert Peters killed on U381.Note that every last word is

the same except the name of the sailor showing that they had a

standard letter ...

Best Regards Richard

Hello Everyone

Here is a small set I have to a lucky man. He was training on U1015 when it was lost

in a training accident on 19.05.1944 only 14 men were saved the rest were lost he was a

lucky one.He then went to U1002 and went on patrol to the English channel from 20.02.45

to 09.04.45 .He then had some rest and went skiing.

Hello Gordon

The soldbuch is well filled in with leave signed by commander of u-boat e.t.c and it also complete with every page it is a little dog eared on the cover but it is 65 years old..I payed a bit more than ?1400 but not a lot more so I am not to unhappy.

Hello Everyone

I have now had a very very close look at all of the documents and soldbuch and I think that the soldbuch,u-boat citation,EK1 citation and bronze u-boat front clasp citation are all original.Someone has lifted the stamp from the bronze u-boat citation and printed it on the silver citation with a computer and printer then added all the other bits with a typewriter or something like that.

Can anybody estimate what the set would be worth without the silver u-boat clasp citation.I would estimate this...

u-boat citation ?250-300

EK1 citation ?200

u-boat front clasp citation ?375-450

soldbuch ?600

What do you think am I about right.I want to estimate that with the loss of the silver clasp clasp that I have not lost to much

Best Regards Richard

Hello Everyone

This a silver u-boat clasp citation to a man that served on U427.I have a few questions maybe someone can help.

1.When it says Bergen was this the place where the award was given to the man or where the citation was issued?

2What does gez mean where it says gez Kuhnke the strange thing is that Kuhnke was a Kor.Kpt and not a Kapt.z.see?

3.The stamp says hoheres Kommando de Unterseeboots Ausbildung I thought it may have been stamped by a combat flott or Norwegen headquarter stamp.As the man had been with the 13 and 14 flott for the last 4 months

Best Regards Richard..

Hello Everyone

I am buying a spanish cross doc to a man who served on U-boat during the war.How can I find out what vessel he served on in the spanish civil war?Are there any web sites.

Best Regards Richard

Hello Gordon

The set also has an early u-boat badge doc dated 1940 ,a EK2 doc dated 1940 and a 4year service medal doc dated 1939.I do not Know why the mans family were given the KIA doc but it is dated mid 1943 about 1 year after he died and 3 and a half years later than his first u-boat award.Maybe they just sent the wrong doc.

Best Regards Richard
