Description
For your consideration here is the German WWII Armband with Swordfish, U-Boat U-96. Few years ago the same style of armband sold on eBay in France for 800 EURO ($950) - please look at the screenshot. Unauthenticated, sold as is. Wikipedia: German submarine U-96 was a Type VIIC U-boat of Nazi Germany’s Kriegsmarine during World War II. Her keel was laid down on 16 September 1939, by Germaniawerft, of Kiel as yard number 601. She was commissioned on 14 September 1940, with Kapitänleutnant Heinrich Lehmann-Willenbrock in command. Lehmann-Willenbrock was relieved in March 1942 by Oberleutnant zur See Hans-Jürgen Hellriegel, who was relieved in turn in March 1943 by Oblt.z.S. Wilhelm Peters. In February 1944, Oblt.z.S. Horst Willner took command, turning the boat over to Oblt.z.S. Robert Rix in June of that year. Rix commanded the boat until February 1945. During 1941, war correspondent Lothar-Günther Buchheim joined U-96 for a single patrol. Combined shipping is available. Start price is $1.
