Wrong "Boote"??

[oldhoweboy]

Hi
Is this U 134 and U 439 in Norway please Axel???
The emblem in Georg's book has different boots on U 439 and I cannot pin down a date for these two boats being together!
Also good foto of Schendel or Brosin? on ebay.de today.

Hi Nobby,

have read your cry for help. And help is on its way, my friend! Just a little suggestion: do not post cut-outs from photos, please, but just the original size. Otherwise you might run into danger to withhold evidence crucial for identification.

Pic has nothing to do with U 439. Boat with the two boots is U 585, while the two boats met at Kirkenes during the bloody cold winter of 1941/42.

Have a nice day.

Axel

Hi,

U 134.

The officer in the middle is Kurt Neide.On 15-09-1942 he commissioned the new U 415.


my best regards,

Ron.

Thanks Ron,
I'm surprised that you or nobody else have mentioned U 585! That emblem is not in Hogel,U boat net or anywhere that I have searched! Have you got an image of U 585 or the emblem???

Hi,

I think this photo is showing U 134, U 584 and U 454 in Kirkenes, and photo was taken in December 1941.

Hi Think Its just a misprint Nobby.
One of the crew of U 134 and later U 672 was Ostrm Hoffman who won the knights cross and the german cross in gold.

Hi Nobby Pikap wrote U 584 not U 585.

Hope the link to the pictures worked.

Hello to all ; perhaps U 134, U 585 and U 454 in Kirkenes January 1942, as the arrival of U 585 was on January 21. AFAIK no emblem on the U 585's conning tower and U 584 had not that emblem. Cheers. Raúl M .
