Here it is. A collection of medals for surface raiders. I was unable to find the Spanish Civil war medal bar. I will keep looking for one to finish out the frame.

Hi Terrence,
Really great display
I am quite fond of Lutzow since in the end of the war it was based in Swinemunde, the city where I spent first half of my life. It was sunk by famous RAF 'dumbasters' squadron on 13th April 1945 in the port but before that it managed to fire all main gun ammunition towards advancing Red Army troops and stopping several Russian attacks on Wolin Island. One of 617 squadron Lancasters was shot down when bombing Lutzow and it crashed in the forest close to the port. All 7 crew members were killed. In the spot where it hit the ground there is a monument which honors killed RAF pilots of this plane.
There are still interesting artefacts in the water where Lutzow was located. My brother who still lives there has in his collection many Lutzow collectibles excavated from water.
Cheers,
HubertLast edited by BubbaZ; 03-14-2017, 04:46 AM.
