Kriegsmarine U-Boat Commander's EK I Citation

[hucks216]

Another recent pick-up - the EK I citation for Kapitanleutnant Heinz-Ehlert Clausen of U-403. He took U-403 on 7 war patrols from June 1941 to June 1943 and sunk 2 ships. The first of these, Empire Howard, carried the Convoy Commodore of PQ 14; the Commodore (Cdre E Rees) was not one of the 37 survivors after the ship sank in under a minute.

This EK I represents the highest award he won during WW 2.
