U-boat Cap Badges

Managed to get these from the family of a sailor, story was that they were collected by swapping with other sailors during the war.

The polar Bear and Elephant I have seen referenced before on the forum, the others I have not.

All well known and look good ...
try a search on the Internet to get the exact references !

Looking at Georg Hogel's book,"U-Boat Emblems of WWII" the badges could be from the following:

Top left, U-447.
Top middle, U-49.
Top right, U-622.
Bottom left, U-48.
Bottom middle, ?
Bottom right, 10th U-Flotilla,4th U-Flotilla.

Cheers,Martin.

When I was talking about referenced on the forum, I meant the polar bear and elephant have been seen before e.g.

The others I have not seen examples of.

From Hogel and U-boat .net research -

Top left, U-447.
Top middle, U-49.
Top right, U-92, U-622. U2522
Bottom left, because of cross around neck would have to be U-48 or 564 (commanders won KC)
Bottom middle, possibly U-108, U-405
Bottom right, 10th U-Flotilla, possibly up to 10 U-boats
