Chris Boonzaier Posted November 24, 2013 Share Posted November 24, 2013 Hi, can anyone give me a very rough pointer... a KM Soldbuch with the red "U"... what are the rough values? With and without awards? From the tiny, tiny photo, the guy was serving 1943-44 I have not been able to see the inside pages.... >Thanks Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hucks216 Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 (edited) It depends on whether he was actually a U-Boat crew member or not, whether he served on one of the well known boats or never left a training flotilla or whether he served under a well known Captain (and not forgetting awards etc). Just because a Soldbuch had a large red U it didn't always mean that he was a U-Boat crew member. The large U was a mark used to show that the Soldbuch holder was allowed into the area used by the submarines, such as the large pens etc. He could of been a supply driver or even a member of a Flak unit that were stationed to guard the pens. Knowing what boat he served on and when is all important to providing a valuation as prices will range from around 300 Euros to a few thousand.
