Kriegsmarine Admiral Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 (edited) I want to start this thread to help anyone with identifying Kriegsmarine Admirals from photos. If you need help with unknown Admirals please post them here. I am starting this thread in hope that members of the forum will share with us their photos of Kriegsmarine Admirals. You can also post any photos of Kriegsmarine Admirals you have, that show already identified Admirals. I also have a number of photos with unknown Admirals I need help with (I will be posting them here), so if you have any idea who they might be please share your thoughts. Thank you Edited October 18, 2022 by hucks216 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
