Beautiful wartime portrait of a U-boot man wearing the U-Bootskriegsabzeichen (U-Boat Badge) and the Eisernes Kreuz 2. Klasse (Iron Cross 2nd Class). The EK2 is worn like it was just awarded to him. Writings on the reverse (“.. lieben Schwester zum Geburtstag, Dein Brüder, Oskar, Im Westen, 20. Januar 1942” roughly translated as “… dear Sister for her birthday, your brother, Oskar. In the West, 20. January 1942”). Postcardsize.
