U-516 comm. Gerhard Wiebe signed doc + some research

[pimpf]

Hello! There is an interesting set of award + citation from U-516 available. I have had some research about U-boot and it's commander and there was a lot of information found via http://www.uboat.net/.

But to complete my research I need some info:

1. Is there list of G. Wiebe awards available?
2. Has anyone photo of G.Wiebe?
3. Has anyone photo of U-516?

Thanks in advance for any help!

I have no idea what awards Wiebe had but he is not listed as having RK or DK etc.

However the document is also signed by Oberleutnant (Ing) d.R. Karl Claasen who was awarded the German Cross in Gold on 1.10.1943 as Leitender Ingenieur des U-Bootes "U 516", 10 Unterseebootsflottille
