    Kriegsmarine badges in wear.


    Recommended Posts

    Fleet Badge in wear. From a Kreuzer Prinz Eugen photo lot. Interestingly the green cross above the head of the last man denotes he was KIA.

    At least two sites mention a single death on the Prinz Eugen during Operation Cerberus.

    Writing on the back of the photo shows the date of death and where he died. This date exactly matches the date of Operation Cerebus.

    This must be our man. See these sites:

    Cheers,

    Not a KM award as such but a lot of KM personnel were awarded the Spanish Cross for service in the Spanish Civil War. This example is with swords and is the bronze type.

    Cheers,

    One of a few recent pick ups.I have many photo's that show the Blockade Breaker award in wear on the KM uniform but this is the first one I have found that shows the award in wear on the Merchant Marine uniform.

    Hard to find.

    Cheers,Martin.
