You either have to join and become an association member to upload an image or use an image hosting service.

However, even without seeing the badge, not too many ex-U-boat men were killed at Normandy. Please post an image as soon as possible so if it is a fake, you can take it back and perhaps get your money back. If not a fake, then no problem.

Just forget about the story concerning Normandy though and lets determine if the badge is period or not.
