Fantastic

[Cole Bush]

very nice !!! EKI is missing?

[mark99995]

Yes, unfortunately ......

[Cole Bush]

SB to KM is rare to see and, in the grouping, i don't care if it is 2nd issue or 1st issue.
However if EKI were there, the grouping would be very nice and complete! BUT i still like it !!!

[piw]

A super set and a great portrait photo too!

Fantastic 'Norwegen' grouping! I love the type written EKII awarded whilst still in Bergen and signed by Ruhfus who had just lost his ship two weeks previously.


As you can see by the silver U-boat frontspange, the award document is backdated, not an uncommon thing to see for post-8 may '45 awards made in Norway.

The photo also appears to be post-8 may 45 as he is missing the breast eagle on his jacket, the cap eagle is the metal pin type so easy to put on for a photo.

[mark99995]

The photo is inscribed on the reverse:

"Reservation Trondheim 1945"

From some other photos i have it seems it was quite popular for the men in the Norwegian reservations to have formal photos taken of themselves with all their decorations. According to allied rules this was forbidden, but these camps were not really guarded or watched.

Great to see a Soldbuch related to the U Boot service. Thanks for sharing. Superb collection of artefacts.

[JUNGCO]
