patches Posted December 2, 2022 Author Share #2 Posted December 2, 2022 A Waffen SS Man with the Narvik Shield you say! He is Karl Wilhelm Krause, interesting career, Navy then the SS as a member of the early LAH as the Fuerher's valet, get fired because of a mineral water flap near the front in Poland LOL, It's then back to the Navy when the war started, sees action in Norway in 1940 on a Destroyer, then back to the LAH. Krause you'll see invented the Flakpanzer while in the SS, which he remained in for the rest of the war. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

patches Posted November 22, 2023 Author Share #6 Posted November 22, 2023 Interesting find, Eduard Dietl reviewing Sailors, Sailors we see wearing the shield, don't know date or location, would have to be after August 1940 as that's the date the shield was instituted.
