More.

And more.

More.

And some photographs from basic training.

And his POW-camp armband.

After the sinking of U-95, twelve survivors were rescued by their attacker. They were handed over to the British in Gibraltar. Gerd Schreiber ended up in Bowmanville Camp, while Martin Bitterberg was send to Camp 23, Monteith, Canada. Here are some letters he wrote to his wife while in captivity.

Next is the leather deck jacket of Martin Bitterberg.

On the first picture Martin Bitterberg in the conning tower of U-9 (pic taken in 1939). On the second pic Martin Bitterberg next to Gerd Schreiber in the tower of U-95.

On the next photographs Martin Bitterberg when he was promoted to NCO and the second pic in his NCO uniform.

Some more Bitterberg pics.

Here is a small part of my collection which has to do with the German u-boot U-95, which was sunk on the 28th of November 1941 after being torpedoed by the dutch submarine O-21. There were only twelve survivors. U-95 was under the command of KapitänLeutnant Gerd Schreiber, while the O-21 was commanded by Luitenant 1st klasse Johannes van Dulm. Most of the stuff has to do with obersteuermann Martin Bitterberg, who was also third watch officer on U-95. Hope you guys enjoy.

First some photographs of Martin Bitterberg.

Hope you guys can help me. I have this white KM jacket, which I bought some time ago, with an entire group of clothes. It was just in there as well and this jacket has puzzled me for a while now. The rank insignia look okay and the buttons are also fine. But it is the jacket itself that puzzles me. I have never seen this model (and I have googled it several times). Can someone shed some light on it please. I am planning on selling it (lack of space) and I want to make sure that it is authentic.

Some more pics.

Can someone tell me what maker this is? Thank you in advance.

I have removed your inexplicable and not permitted internet sales link as the TITLE of this post.

If that was INTENDED to get anyone who clicked on this thread transferred to a sales link, consider this an Official Warning not to repeat that again.

If that was some careless accidental slip of the fingers typing, no harm done--fixed now.

???

The title was: 2 EK2's for identification. Sales link? Don't want to be a pain in the *ss, but I don't get this one. :unsure:

Posting these on behalf of a fellow collector. They are part of a small medal group. We are looking for the makers of these. Thank you in advance.

First one:

And number 2:

Now that is a really beautiful frontclasp. :jumping:

Thank you very much.

I need more coffee. How can I forget to post a picture of that.

Anyway, here it is.

No one who can identify the EK2? :unsure:

Thank you for explaining. Clear now.

WS = Wagner & Sohn, Berlin? And what do you mean with "boxed"? I am new to WW1 medals, so forgive me. :unsure:
