Crewbrief XII/39 u-boat crews newspaper fantasy?

[den_stokes]

Good day, Gentlemen.
I've found it on Russian (huh) site. I was trying to search for some similar pieces or any info about them with google, but found only the same photos on Amazon.

Does anybody know anything about it?
It seems this paper was never mentioned on WaF...

Hi,

100% original period homemade unit newspaper.
Quite rare, even more for a German submarine !
Many units do that in war conflict, you can find very interesting WW2 German issues.

See You

wow, thanks Vince!!
so it's original and kind of unofficial paper. I still don't know if it has all the pages but if it does..
do you have any idea about price?
the seller wants about 150 euro for it. May be it's ok then, i don't know

Hello Den,

I took the time to check, and this kind of front newspaper was made for the the December 1939 promotion of officer cadets in the submarine.

A bit more of 1,000 officer cadets were in this promotion, only one of ten officer cadets became a submarine commander.

This newspaper is from late 1942, and is giving info on the promotion for the Summer of 1942.

All those front newspapers were checked by the authorities, but the content, was less formal than in a propaganda Kriegsmarine publication.

Hmmm, 150 euros seemed to be a bit too expensive, knowing that you may have to have some pages repaired. I will say that 100 euros may be a bit more honest.

Of course if you are focussing on the Kriegsmarine, it may be worth the money asked. It is still a very rare publication, rarer than official propaganda/magazine publications.

See You

Vince
