christerd Posted March 13, 2009 Posted March 13, 2009 Hi all, I know its a long shot but could anyone id the Kriegsmarine Ofiicer with the Spanien Kreuz? I dont know how many Crosses there were awarded to the KM after the Spanish civil war? And the other Officer is a Konteadmiral if I see right ? any clues .... I know its probably impossible but I try anyway Christer
Martin W Posted March 13, 2009 Posted March 13, 2009 Christer,sorry i cannot help here.However,the sailor close to the camera is wearing what appears to be a Destroyer badge.Maybe a clue?Regards,Martin.
Guest Rick Research Posted March 14, 2009 Posted March 14, 2009 The grin on the Admiral is VERY familiar and when somebody who does "full frontal earlobes" identifies him I'll say "oh, HIM!" but I need ribbon bars.....
christerd Posted March 14, 2009 Author Posted March 14, 2009 Erich Bey ? He was chief of Destroyers 1940-1943 and he are quite like him I think.... I keep on looking, to bad he didnt turn around, then it would have been easy ! Christer
Robert Noss Posted March 15, 2009 Posted March 15, 2009 It is Erich Bey, no doubt.I have a photo which could be made the same day, same secene as Yours, ChristerAs far as I know, these photos were made in November 1942, when the german navy made a raid against the british convoy PQ 17. The name of the raid was " Unternehmen R?sselsprung".Kind regardsRobert
christerd Posted March 15, 2009 Author Posted March 15, 2009 :jumping: Thanks Robert ! I thought it would be impossible to get something out of this pic but I underestimated the knowledge out there It so much more interesting when you know when a photo is taken Best regards from sweden Christer
