Admiral Gerd Schreiber

[xmember]

Hello all,

I was able to pick up the jacket for Admiral Gerd Schreiber. He served a limited time during the war as he was captured when his sub (U-95) was sunk by a Dutch submarine in the Med. He was lucky to survive along with some of his crew and spent his time as a POW in Canada and joined the BW after the war.

I saw the visor with the jacket but the guy only sold me the jacket. Maybe some point in the near future I will be able to obtain the visor. Anyway, always happy to add another great item to the collection.

Hope you enjoy!

Regards,
Rudy

Hi Rudy,

fantastic

A submarine commander who won the DKiG and joined the BW AND reached the rank of an Admiral ....... it does not get better

Here´s pic of him and another one as POW in Bowmanville. Note that he was prisoned with Otto Kretschmer

Hi Rudiger - I saw that picture in another thread from a guy who has his German Cross in Gold. Good to talk to you my friend.

Hi Nigel - Who knows?????? I couldn't tell you if he sold it, kept it or used it for some other purpose. I'm sure it will show up one day.

Regards,
Rudy
