Re: Kriegsmarine with Narvik sheld
Did you know that one of Hitlers SS staff Karl Wilhelm Krause also wore the Narvik shield on his SS tunic ??? I will try to find the photo I have in my collection of him wearing it . Very rare indeed !

Re: Kriegsmarine with Narvik sheld
Those are nice pic,s Justin and going by these pic,s his shield is on dark blue backing and not
field grey as you would expect.On the wehrmacht awards website they have a photo of an ss mann wearing a blockade runners badge.

This chap (Fregattenkaptain Hans Erdmenger) came my way yesterday, from a sitting for war artist Willrich - the Narvik Shield can be seen outlined in the sketch.

Joel there is something about his ability to mix colour with sketch outlines, he captures the subject very well.
