Hi EriK,

over the last couple of years i have managed to pick up "tons" of documentation and photographs from the Hilfsreuzer Thor.

Today i picked up Nehm's cetificate from his 1st crossing of the Equator.

Under Otto Kahler ,the Thor on her 1st cruise crossed the Equator on the 6th of July 1940 as seen here on the certificate.

Just a great piece and a lovely addition to my Thor collection..

Regards,Martin.

Erik,

Likewise I missed this for some reason.....excellent group! I do like Auxilliary Cruiser groups.

You mention the Soldbuch has no photo unfortunately, was there never a photo or has it been removed?

Also is it possible to show his units/transfers on pages 23-26?

Thanks!

Ian
