Some of my Kriegsmarine items

Time Magazine

I also collect WWII Time magazine covers. Time magazine are great they make super displays and don't cost too much, I get them for under $10. Here is a great Time magazine cover from 1942 that I have frammed and of course you can see the stern depiction of Admiral Doenitz .

Time Magazine 1943

Here is a cool Time magazine cover from 1943, that I also have frammed. This is my favorite Doenitz cover and you have to love those periscopes. Notice the date on the magazine (May 10, 1943), this was when the Battle of the Atlantic was coming to an end.

The art work on these old Time covers were terrific.

Autograph

Here is one of my favorite things, an Erich Topp autograph. Sadly, Erich Topp just died at the age of 91 on December 26, 2005.

Well that is it for now. I will try to post one of my leather U-boat jackets and my gold em KM belt buckle later.

Jody, Thank you for the look at your gear.
The peaked caps look really great - would love one but too rich for me at present.
Nice , very nice.
Look forward to see the leathers , a grey deck coat and trousers I could do with

My KM collection

Hello guys,
Thank you so much for the kind words. It has taken a lot of time and I virtually gutted out my Heer badge and Waffen-SS cloth collection to concentrate on the KM stuff. Which was fine, because I never was really into the Heer badges or SS cloth too much. It was the peak caps that killed me.
Regards,
Jody

Here is one of my favorite postcards: Gunther Prien of the U-47.
