U 617 Emblem in better resolution demand
@Axel N U-617 Emblem in better resolution demand
As You possibly known, I investigate the case of U 617, as I explained in other thread of this Forum. One matter that intrigued me, more years ago, are the image of maling/wappen of this U-Boot. Books, webs, contact by email with numerous webmasters, nothing, nothing….
However, in this documentary film 1943-08-11 - Die Deutsche Wochenschau Nr. 675 08:32 > 09:15 appears the maling/wappen of U-617.
I realize a capture of my display and obtain this image. My question are both simple and complex:
Do anyone of this Forum held in his own archives a better resolution image of this emblem? Anyone know it means? Are the familiar crest of commander Brandi?
I autoself interrogated about this image more times.
If You remind seeing images of this U-boot, don’t appears any image of this emblem.
Any commentaries are wellcome in advance.

Hello Jan ; nope what it means yet but...........most of the U-boats carried the shield of a German city which sponsored them....so it could be this case. Cheers. Raúl M .

Re: U 617 Emblem in better resolution demand
Hi Jan,
the shield carried at the front of the C/T of U 617 proves to be a hard nut. It is not present on earlier pics of U 617. With the pic clearly taken on entering Toulon on 20 July 1943 on its penultimate patrol, the shield was very probably representing the city emblem of a town that has "adopted" the boat at some time during spring 1943. It was not unusual that this took place after commissioning, especially when the boat became successful. Incidently, not even the engineer officer (now passed away) remembered it. Please keep in mind that it could well be a city in the former eastern provinces now no longer a part of Germany.
Anyway, I shall continue to work on this because I like stuff like this!
Cheers
Axel!

hi,Jan,
Additional thought: it might be the crest of a town in Austria or in the former "Sudetenland", too
