Uboat Militarpas
perce replied to perce's topic in Germany: Imperial Uniforms, Headwear, Insignia & Personal Equipment
Hi Bootneck1958 I first found out about Otto and his comrades in 1990 during a tour of Benbecula. The graves were unknown by the authorities for years- the local fishermen knew about them as they used the old school house as a layover in bad weather but I wrote to the Volksbund and the CWGC and they are now recogised as wargraves. I did quite a lot of research into this boat and the crew. It appears Otto and his two comrades floated ashore. They were only able to identify Otto through personnel effects. They current probaly carried them from the wreck site ( they may have been in life jackets) and deposited them on the beach below they are buried.- no other of the crew have known graves. The uboat was ripped apart by the destroyers. Cant remember if here were any survivors off hand. I'll try and search my research out and send you a copy if I can find it. Bootneck as in Marine?

Hi guys Thanks for the comments The collection is a rebuild after my original collection was completely stolen in 95- started again properly in 2004. Currently I have medal groups to 297 named individuals plus my german collection and several hundred photographs and a collection of buttons, badges paperwork etc. The case was built for a friend who decided it was more fun to collect vehicles. i hope to post more stuff as the collection builds Cheers Perce
