Original Postwar Signature on a Postwar Photo of Otto Kretschmer. Fregattenkäpitan Otto Kretschmer (01.05.1912 in Heidau † 05.08.1998 in Straubing) earned the Ritterkreuz des Eisernen Kreuzes on August 4, 1940 as Kapitänleutnant und Kommandant of Uboot “U-99”, the Eichenlaub on November 4, 1940 as Kapitänleutnant und Kommandant of Uboot “U-99” and the Schwertern on December 26, 1941 as Korvettenkapitän und Kommandant of Uboot “U-99”.
