U-boat Collection

Hi David,
I also collect KM items and my specialty is U-boat things. Great stuff and I love the early U-boat document in your collection. You have some top notch stuff.

EK Document

Here is my matching EK document. These two items came from Gordon. David, I can tell we both have similar tastes.

Hello David,

Thank you to sharing your U-Boot collection with us.

I have seen U-154 in your photo album, I have a photo of one crew member of this U-Boot (Heinz Kuklman).

Have you the U-Boot number for the other docs ?

Regards,

Michel

Michel, I've checked the list of crewmembers of U154 who died on 03.07.1944, and your man Heinz Kuklmann (our Heinz Kuhlmann) is not on it.

Albert Mirwald, served only on U704.
Made 3 war patrols, but no known ships were sunk, but I have in my collection this photo from U704 with a victimflag for 5000 BRT? Does anyone has some more info on this Uboot?
