Hi Juergen,

Thank you for showing such a nice photo.

Can you please give us your father's name ?

Any other U 861 material ?

Very nice and interesting model.

Must like it as I like those Monsun Boots too.

Ney !!!!!!!!!!, that is no modelling .......that is ART !

Andy,

Could be a U-Boat tradition badge, but I couldn't find an exact match in the H?gel book. Here is a well-known photo of Werner Hartmann and some U-37 crew. Note that the trident does not have the same "bend" as yours.

Best Regards,

Erik

Sorry Erik but that photo doesn't show U-37.

It shows U-198 after the return of her first warpatrol.

Left to right : Li. Wessels, Kmdt. Hartmann and Bordarzt Dr. Woerne.

U 219 left Bordeaux under the command of Walter Burghagen on 23rd Aug 1944 and after more than fifteen weeks arrived at Batavia on 11th Dec 1944. U 219 was a late monsun-boat!

But Mechanikerobergefreite Helber must leave the boat before and goes to the u-boat school in Pl?n.

There he was awarded at the 9. Nov. 1944 with the "U-Boots-Frontspange in Bronze". Interesting is, that Helber never get the EK 1 or EK 2 befor he get the u-boat clasp!

Hi Monsun,

Thank you for showing us another interesting group from your collection !
