Odulf Posted April 10, 2011 Posted April 10, 2011 (edited) Hello there, Great thread with some interesting photos. William Kramer Lovely crisp photo. Any idea about the identity of the Admiral? Is this the same guy? Edited April 10, 2011 by Odulf
Martin W Posted May 3, 2011 Author Posted May 3, 2011 (edited) This one is a recent pick up. Great photo,i think. Twin brothers of the same rank,both radio operators and both with the Minesweeper awards. Regards,Martin. Edited May 3, 2011 by Martin W

Regards,Martin. Amazing photo Martin! Looks like the only way you can tell them apart is by the darker waves on the left brother's Minesweeper badge! Best regards, ---Norm

Best regards, ---Norm Good eye Norm, only you would notice that I was looking at the differences in their neckware and wristware. Here is another photo that just arrived.Three NCO's showing the HK,Destroyer and Gallipoli Star in wear. Regards,Martin. Edited May 3, 2011 by Martin W
nesredep Posted May 8, 2011 Posted May 8, 2011 Hi! Martin Wow,great Photo find.I like this a lot. Morten.
JSlavick Posted May 10, 2011 Posted May 10, 2011 Martin: I was going to comment on how much I liked the portrait with the two minesweepers....T-H-E-N ....I saw the three person portrait with the HSK badge, Destroyer badge and Galipoli Star! Yikes----That is an OUTSTANDING portrait!! Joe
Martin W Posted May 11, 2011 Author Posted May 11, 2011 Thanks Joe, unfortunately,there is no writing on the reverse,so no idea on what ship the HK recipient served on? The photo did come in a typical folder with writing on the inside. Regards,Martin.
Martin W Posted November 2, 2011 Author Posted November 2, 2011 (edited) Not much going on in the award department lately so i am really enjoying collecting photographs and here are a few more recent additions. First is another potrait with the HK award in wear. The reverse is dated Dortmund,1 November 1941. Edited November 2, 2011 by Martin W

Martin W Posted November 2, 2011 Author Posted November 2, 2011 A fine detailed photo of the Destroyer badge in wear on the Grey Uniform.

Martin W Posted November 6, 2011 Author Posted November 6, 2011 (edited) Thanks Gordon and Morten, as i mentioned above there is not much going on in the HK award area.There are just a couple of awards that i would really like to add to the collection.along with HK award documents. These items are hard to find so i continue to add photographs to my collection.I am getting very selective now but some really nice images can be be found. Another new arrival with the Destroyer and SA sports badge in wear. Regards,Martin. Edited November 6, 2011 by Martin W
Martin W Posted November 10, 2011 Author Posted November 10, 2011 Thanks Erik, this one is for you. The U-Boat badge and clasp in wear. Regards,Martin.
Scott Posted November 11, 2011 Posted November 11, 2011 Here's an odd one from my reference photo collection (not mine).
Martin W Posted November 11, 2011 Author Posted November 11, 2011 Great photo Scott. Probably a member of the aircrews that flew the recon planes on the Battleships and Cruisers and therefore eligible for the HSF badge. Regards,Martin.
nesredep Posted November 11, 2011 Posted November 11, 2011 Hi! Martin Here is my new Contribution to Your topic. U-Boat Badge and Clasp inwear. All the best Morten.
Martin W Posted November 12, 2011 Author Posted November 12, 2011 (edited) Great Morten, a good clear view of what looks like a silver clasp in wear. Nice photo. Regards,Martin. Edited November 12, 2011 by Martin W
nesredep Posted November 12, 2011 Posted November 12, 2011 Hi! Martin Thanks for comment.I agree,also think this looks like a silver Claps. All the best Morten.
Erik Krogh Posted November 20, 2011 Posted November 20, 2011 (edited) Today I acquired a grouping of Walter Nehm, a sailor who began his career on an Auxiliary Cruiser (Thor) and then transferred to destroyers (a survivor of Z8 Bruno Heinemann and then served on Z31). Herr Nehm completed his service as an Obersteurmann. The grouping has many clearly identified photos of Walter throughout his career. Following are three different images of Walter wearing his HK and destroyer badges while a Gefreiter (on his pea coat), as an Unteroffizier in feldgrau, and finally a formal portrait in navy blue. I will post more of this grouping later. It includes Nehm's soldbuch, KM Ausweis, Arbeitsbuch, and a handwritten letter to Nehm from Thor Kommandant Otto Kähler. The grouping is in an album compiled by Nehm and traces his life from HJ to the RAD and finally to the KM. Thought Martin might be interested... Edited November 20, 2011 by Erik Krogh
