Gordon Williamson Posted April 5, 2007 Share Posted April 5, 2007 Very nice Jan Arne ! A large proportion of U-Boat men in the first half of the war served their time on Minesweepers before transferring to U-Boats. I have had several U-Boat doc sets where I know the guy served on Minesweepers first but although all the other docs were there the MS doc was missing. Nice to see the pair to the same guy !

Jan Arne S Posted June 2, 2007 Author Share Posted June 2, 2007 And a Letter with what was left after Him . I post this because a lot of Scandinavian " Experts " claims that most of the U-Boat Awards are in the bottom of the Ocaen . But this shows that he at last had 2 U-Boat Badges , perhaps 3 if he had one on board . Jan Arne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon Williamson Posted June 2, 2007 Share Posted June 2, 2007 The father of one of my friends served on U-Boats and was KIA. My friend inherited several of his badges, also caps uniforms etc. These servicemen did not just have one of each item but sometimes many. For each U-Boat badge lost when the sailor was KIA, there were probably at least one or two more left at home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
