Hello,

Do you see the school emblem on each side of the tower ? Maybe White-Black-White horizontal bands ? The same as U 29 ?

Best regards,
Lionfish

If I'm right, U 29 had White-Black-White horizontal bands painted on each side of the tower. This school emblem could be transfered to U 749 after U 29 was out of the school service in July 1944.

Best regards,
Lionfish.

Hello,

A late war, possibly in 1945, Typ VIIc training with a white number six painted on the tower ? That is this u-boat ?

Thanks
I have a problem with finding correct dates of Kriegsmarine awards!
Felix seems to be only source.
Suspect our Axel is still in shock!

And there is no way that Gert Dültgen would not be wearing his Zerstörer-Kriegsabzeichen, I wonder who this is ?

Two possibilities:
1- In many photos some officers only use EK 1 and U-Boots-Kriegsabzeichen.
2- The person in the photo is not actually "Gert Dültgen"

PS:
Meanwhile on the Crewbuch 37b there is a picture of the similar Gerd Dültgen, unhappily in the beach house where I am I can not digitalise.

Hi Nobby,

it is Dültgen.

Following the disaster I fled to France on holidays and watched the final at the Bretagne with lots of enthusiastic Frenchmen and a nice bottle of cidre. What a day, ending on the beach with a swim. Shall do so again in four years time!!!

Cheers

Axel

Thanks Axel.
It seems that not all awards were worn then.
I now look forward to the new season and the continuing farce of VAR!
