        Thanks Sepp,

        Of course, that's the same image that was used subsequently in both Nimmergut's book and R. Friedrich Honts' peculiar fake-ridden publication, as discussed in post #116. It's also the same image that was hacked with the digital addition of a swastika and shown in the Ailsby blog as mentioned in post #117.

        Whether it's the true badge or not remains unverified. Possibly but even if so, it's whereabouts are unknown today, and the image has undergone considerable hacking by others in the meantime.

        Best regards,
        ---Norm

          Not the best picture, but that's Fregattenkapitän Reinhard Suhren's badge with diamonds, as shown on the book "Nasses Eichenlaub - Als Kommandant und FDU im U-Boot-Krieg", by Fritz Brustat-Naval and Teddy Suhren.

          He was awarded the Uboot badge with diamonds on January 1st, 1942 (from wikipedia) or March, 1942 (from uboat.net).

                    Hi Sepp,

                    Angolia obviously made his share of mistakes. The badge in that case labelled "J. Godet & Sohn" of course bears no resemblance to Lüth's actual U-Boat with Diamonds which you posted earlier. Unless the caption which is cut off is saying only the case was for the U-Boat in Diamonds since it says something about it being a "mixed specimen"?, but even so that would be wrong too.

                    Best regards,
                    ---Norm

                        I don't think it say anything more than that, but I couldn't get a better picture yet.

                                H Sepp,

                                That's a nice photo but it's hard to know when it was photographed. I went onto Ullstein-Bild to look at the photos and descriptions for Kriegsabzeichen and like you say, for this photo it says "Date/period photographed: 01.01.1941 - 31.12.1941".

                                The problem is, in the same section they show a full colour photograph of an Imperial U-Boat badge with the caption: "Date/period photographed: 01.01.1918 - 31.12.1918". Clearly that photograph was not from 1918, so these dates don't seem to be the date of the photographs but rather an estimated date of origin for the artifacts they show.

                                In contrast, they have there a B&W photo of a Schwerin U-Boat badge with a much more complete description: "Submarine-medall; was awarded to soldiers who proved themselves on two or more attacks on the enemy - 1939 - Photographer: Presse-Illustrationen Heinrich Hoffmann - Vintage property of ullstein bild". That one is clearly identified as a 1939 vintage photograph.

                                It therefore seems possible that the photo of the Diamonds badge was from a later unspecified time period. Hard to say though.

                                Best regards,
                                ---Norm
