Scott Powell Posted January 25, 2008 Posted January 25, 2008 when i opened Galien David's site tonite, the opening page had a pic of a 1st U Boat Flotilla Hat Badge. i did a bit of research,and found they were in Brest France in 1944.My Grandfather was in the 29th,and was in Brest in 1944 as well. he took many naval prisoners,and amoung the items he brought back were several of these badges. he gave me two of them 30 years ago,shortly before he died. i have always loved the colour,design and enamel of these badges,and had no idea of thier rairity
