gingerbread Posted December 10, 2007 Share Posted December 10, 2007 My 10 U-Flottille emblem. Size 33 mm X 20 mmThis one was found in Lorient in 1978 among artifacts from an old french FFI resistant who fought in Lorient in 1944/1945.I think that it's french made one.RegardsBen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erik Krogh Posted December 11, 2007 Share Posted December 11, 2007 (edited) Thank you all for sharing! Michel, as always, has fabulous pieces... I really like these informal badges, but I am always concerned about originality if there is no provenance.Here are some of my traditions badges. These all came with document groupings and I have the U-Boat man's name attributed to each piece.First is U-997. This belonged to Vinzenz Koller. As Herr Koller told it and included on page 161 of Georg H?gel's seminal book "U Boat Emblems of World War II 1935-1945": "Our boat's emblem was the "Red Racer" - named after the bicycle, which - lashed fast below the upper deck - accompanied us from our training voyages to Hammerfest."

Erik Krogh Posted December 11, 2007 Share Posted December 11, 2007 Here is a pair of board-made traditions badges for U-802. One is the 2nd U-Flotilla and the other is the boat's arrow-and-rune emblem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erik Krogh Posted December 11, 2007 Share Posted December 11, 2007 Here is an enameled U-170 badge. According to the H?gel book, the character represents ski bunnies who were enjoyed by crew members during a ski vacation in Krumh?bel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erik Krogh Posted December 11, 2007 Share Posted December 11, 2007 U-262. The H?gel book quotes Kommandant Heinz Franke as indicating that the "flying sword" represents a "comradely relationship" between the boat and fighter pilots of the 2nd Jagd-Gruppe Ost, which was being trained at La Rochelle.
