Chris Boonzaier Posted December 15, 2012 Author Share Posted December 15, 2012 Here is some of his other stuff. Obviously as an officer he had no cap tally, but I looked for a Bernd von Arnim Tally to display with his stuff for almost a decade before Gordon Williamson came up with this beauty.

Martin W Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 What a great group of awards Chris. From Destroyers at Narvik to Blockade Breakers later in the war. Very interesting and unusual,i think. Any idea what Blockade Breakers he served on ?? Regards,Martin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Boonzaier Posted December 16, 2012 Author Share Posted December 16, 2012 Hi, The blockade breaker was a late award, but dates from the beginning of the war, partially prewar time. He was on one of the Navy supply ships for the battleships that left german waters just before the outbreak of the war. He was on the Westerwald. They were disguised as a Norweigian ship.
