Both photos were taken during ceremonies attended by former kriegsmarine officers and sailors. The second photo was at Dönitz's funeral.

Hi Sepp ! Yes, after looking closer at his Miniature medal bar I think I do see a u-boat badge. If we could ID the others near him it might get us started. All my Kriegsmarine contacts have passed away. Hans - Georg Hess (RIP) would have known Hardegen is just to elderly to contact (100 years old) about such things. I will give this some thought...maybe I can think of someone who can help. Tom

Well.. on the same ceremony I found this bearded RKT, also present at von Manteuffel's funeral (right).

Same Kriegsmarine priest and DKiGträger... who is he? Both photos were posted here a few months ago, but we need to do a connection here.

Hello Sepp,
I know this pictures for years but I had sadly no name.
But the information that this picture was made at Dönitz' furnal is very interesting.
So the searching has a direction....

Arthur, the merit of this name goes entirely on your credit! Thanks!

From the website cited by Arthur on the previous post (http://www.beim-alten-bgs.de) I managed to find many veterans wearing '57 ribbon bars. Enjoy
