Unknown com. ceremony of a U-Boat

Post by Christoph K »

Hello Everyone:

Just wanted to post an interesting negative that I came across. It appears to be the commissioning ceremony of a U-boat but I have no idea which boat it may be. The shield on the side should provide a good idea but so far I have been unable to find it on any sites or in any of my books on German U-boats. What do you folks think?

Cheers!

Hello Christoph,

Look's like the U-752 emblem to me !

By the way, U-752 was the first U-boat hit by an UP (Unrotated Projectile) by a Swordfish of 819 Sqn. (HMS Archer)
