Description

Kriegsmarine photo album to Kapitänleutnant Hans-Joachim von Morstein serving as commander of U 483 from 22.12.1943 to 09.05.1945. German Cross in Gold winner on 15.12.1944.

An excellent photo album consisting of 87 photos and two postcards. Very nice photos of the crew and the submarine, portrait photos, and shots of shore leave. Also nice to see their awards (War Destroyer Badge, Minesweeper War Badge, and U-Boat Front Clasp). Unfortunately, no shot where Kapitänleutnant von Morstein wears the German Cross. Included are photos from his time as a prisoner of war.

Rare to find!

Awards of Kapitänleutnant Hans-Joachim:

- War Destroyer Badge

- Minesweeper War Badge

- 1939 Iron Cross 1st and 2nd Class

- German Cross in Gold 

- U-Boat War Badge

- U-Boat Front Clasp?
