Description

Period time photo grouping of a navy officer serving with SMS -Linienschiff- Hessen and 2. Torpedoboots-Halbflottille T157 as well as Kriegsmarine. He was involved in the Spanish Civil War "LEGION CONDOR" (1936-1939) and awarded with Spanish Cross with swords in bronze. Also awarded with 1939 Iron Cross 2nd Class and Minesweeper War Badge.

The album begins in 1925 and documents the "Nordlandreise" of the SMS -Linienschiff- Hessen. Nearly all photos lettered. Interesting shots of the SMS Hessen as well as of other ships. Just as many landscape photographs. Roughly 86 photos.

Furthermore roughly 65 photographs. Fine portrait photos. Nice to see the cap tally "Linienschiff Hessen". One interesting group photo of the crew of the 2. Torpedoboots-Halbflottille T157. Signed by all to the reverse. Including five photographs on which he is wearing the Spanish Cross and other awards.

One period time removed page of the booklet "Die Kriegsmarine". A lot with room for research!

Total: roughly 151 photos.

Good condition 2.
