Kriegsmarine U-boat badge..maybe?

[Dave B]

Hello all,

Yesterday I bought a tea ration tin off an old KSLI veteran and inside contained a small lot of U-boat badges and insignia,also in the tin was this small plastic badge...it has holes I presume for it to be sewn on to something.Anyone know if it's U-boat related?

Cheers

Hello Dave.B

I have had a look in the U-boat emblems book.It seems to be the emblem for U318.This boat made 5 patrols and survived the war.The face on the badge is that of lyric poet Joachim Ringelnatz.A nice find there Dave..

Best Regards Richard..
