Erik Krogh Posted March 19, 2007 Share Posted March 19, 2007 Here is a grouping of items from U-81's 12th war patrol attributed to Obersteurmann Helmut Glowka. Included are the board-made badge, 12th patrol urkunde, Frontspange in Bronze urkunde, and several photos. A couple of the photos are repros, but the crew pictures are original.
