Hello:

The R.K.T. pictured is the Kpt.z.S. Werner Hartmann, DoB 11.Dec.1902 and DoD 26.Apr.1963.

U-Boat commander and the 645.recipient of the Oak-Leaves. His last assignment was that of commander of the Marine Gren.Rgt. 6 in the 2.Marine Inf.Div. in northern Germany. This regiment was deployed in and around my home town in the last stages of the war. Kptn.z.S. Hartmann with staff had a brief orientation or such in very close proximity of our house and I was told of his name then.

Nice try, but it could not be Hartmann, Werner, because the picture was taken in 1943 and Hartmann was 42 years then. The Officer in the picture is much younger and furthermore I compared Hartmanns picture which can be seen on www.uboatnet.com. and it is definitely not him. Thanks for trying anyway.
